Behemoth

Behemoth is a demon who much is debated about. What is known for certain is that he is the lord of gluttony. Bodin claims that he's the demonic spirit of the Pharaoh of Egypt from the Book of Exodus, and Wierus speculates that he could be a guise of Satan himself. de Plancy, J. C., (1863). Dictionnaire Infernal. 6ed. pg.86
== History ==
According to Chapter XL of the Book of Job, Behemoth is an ox so huge that each day he eats the grass of a thousand mountains, and that God killed his mate towards the dawn of time to prevent them from having similar children. He is to be sacrificed for the feast of the Jewish messiah, where he will be the piece de resistance.
== Appearance ==
In the Book of Job, Behemoth is thought to be either the whale or the elephant, or one of the other monsters now extinct. 
De Lancer says that Behemoth is often mistaken for a monstrous animal because he often takes the form of various animals, more often than not large ones, with particular mention of him taking the form of dogs, elephants, foxes, and wolves.
