Asmodeus

For other uses of this name, see Asmodeus (disambiguation).

In Jewish and Christian lore, Asmodeus is the demon of lust, often inciting infidelity in married couples. His mother was the mortal Naamah, and his father was a fallen angel (or Adam before Eve came along). Asmodeus also oversaw the running of every gambling-house in Hell, and was "the general spreader of dissipation." The demon appeared as a being with three heads (that of a bull, a ram, and a man) and the feet of a rooster, wielding a spear and riding a dragon.

In Hebrew tradition, Asmodeus was also the demon who mated with Lilith, first wife of Adam, to create legions of demonspawn.
