This concept sketch by Jes Goodwin is the closest thing to a canon image of a Demiurg. And totally NOT similar to certain clone-skein phenotypes of the Kin previewed in Warhammer Community articles.

"DEMIURG BROTHERHOOD RESPONDING"

– From the Tau Empire trailer for the Battlefleet Gothic vidya

The Demiurg are a client race of the T'au Empire and are described as short, rocky humanoids using huge mining ships to brave asteroid fields to mine.

They're Squats, straight up an alien species different from the abhuman known as Squat, though the confusion is quite common. Reportedly they were created specifically as a compromise for fans who wanted the Squats back, though GW ended up doing very little with them anyway. The most we ever see of them is in Battlefleet Gothic as auxiliary fleets, and that’s about it. As a side note, they sound frickin awesome though.

Their lore in BFG is one big fat reference to Homeworld Bentusi, not just in name, but the whole concept of ancient spacefaring race of traders, every fleet a brotherhood, and they are so hardwired to their ships that ship damage results in loss of captain mental capacity. And just like the Bentusi, Bentus'la, how Tau call them, have taught the young ones how to build ion cannons (for 400 resource units?)

Recent lore regarding the Leagues of Votann states that the Demiurg are (or were) a part of the Leagues (with at least some of them being called the Seran-Tok Mercantile Leagues, who profited greatly from the Tau. Of note is that various other old canon materials such as Battle Fleet Gothic Magazine, Fanatic Magazine, and mentioned the "SrryTok" Demiurg brotherhood trading heavily with the Tau). We also have further confirmation with some of the Kin exhibiting similar genetic mutations to Demiurg (hardened skin scales). The Demiurg have provided Energy Drills to the Leagues of Votann, according to Necromunda's Book of Judgement, which makes sense considering the that they are Leagues themselves. Like the rest of the Leagues, they make use of ion technology as well; making the Mechanicus all but on the brink of proscribing them as hereteks (if they haven't already).
