Dictionnaire Infernal
The hoop snake, a creature of legend in the United States and Australia, is said to grasp its tail in its mouth and roll like a wheel towards its prey. Japanese culture includes a similar mythical creature, the "Tsuchinoko". Buer, a demon mentioned in the 16th-century grimoire "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum", was described and illustrated in Collin de Plancy's "Dictionnaire Infernal" as having radially-arranged arms on which it rolled.
