Creature Class:
Demon Prince

Creature Name:
Berith

Background and Desctiption:
In demonology, Berith is a Great Duke of Hell, powerful and terrible, and has twenty-six legions of demons under his command. He tells things of the past, present and future with true answers; he can also turn all metals into gold, give dignities to men and confirm them. He speaks with a clear and subtle voice, and according to some authors he is a liar when not answering questions.
During the conceptualization stage for this demonic creature I wanted to convey the nature of its two attributes as being the demon of murdering and blasphemy. I then imagined him with a two faced head one of wich is humanoid and then able to speak with mortals while the other, goat/horse in features, keeps gurgling its infernal speech.
He carries a heavily carved black meatclever which is the most obvious symbol of the act of buchering/murdering.
