Decarabia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In demonology, Decarabia (also called Carabia) is a demon and, according to The Lesser Key of Solomon, a Great Marquis of Hell, although he has no title in the hellish hierarchy given by Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. He has thirty legions of demons under his command. Decarabia knows the virtues of all herbs and precious stones, and can change into all birds and sing and fly like them before the conjurer.

He is depicted as appearing as a pentagram star, changing into a man under the conjurer's request.
