Amon (demon)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In demonology, Amon is a Marquis of Hell. He controls forty legions of spirits. He appears as a wolf with a serpent's tail, and breaths fire, or appears as a man with dog's teeth in the head of a raven, or simply as a man with a raven's head. He tells of things past and future, and reconciles feuds and controversies between friends.
