"Marbas" (Demon #5)

President Marbas (Barbas). The Fifth Demon from the 'Ars Goetia'.

                                 "Marbas" (Demon #5)

The fifth spirit is named 'Marbas', I appear in the form of a great lion/
And I answer truly concerning. to all things whether secret or hidden
I can change into human form, after a request from the magician/
I possess knowledge in the mechanical arts, as well as my great wisdom
I can create diseases and then cure them, and turn human's into shapes/
The governor of thirty-six legions, I can shape shift in every way
While the pupils of my eyes are slit, like those of a big cat/
My body is different to other spirits, and I'll just leave it at that.
