Orobas

The fifty-fifth demon of the Goetia, Orobas is named as a great prince with twenty legions under his command.  He also appears in Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft and Wierus's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.  As Goetic demons go, he is one of the nicer ones.  It is said that he suffers no one to be tempted and, uinlike so many demons, he makes no effort to deceive anyone.  When he manifests, he takes the form of a horse, but after a while, he usually transforms into a man.  He speaks of divine virtue and answers questions about God and Creation.  He can also grant favors and dignities as well as make a person well-liked by both friends and foes.  His name is likely derived from Greek ouroboros, an image depicting a serpent that devours its own tail.  It represents eternity.  In the Goetia of Dr. Rudd, he has twenty-six legions of spirits under his command.  According to this text, the angel Mebahiah has the power to compel and constrain him.  In the Book of Oberon, an illustration attempts to depict his human form, which is monstrous.  He has a horn like a rhino's protruding from the middle of his forehead, ass's ears, and a nose and tongue both as long and sharp as poignards.  Among the promotions that he grants, the Book of Oberon states that he can make someone a prelate--an ecclesiastical title unusual for the office of a demon.  In this text, he has only twelve legions of lesser spirits under his control.  See also BOOK OF OBERON, GOETIA, RUDD, SCOT, WIERUS.
