In demonology, Furfur (or Furtur) is a powerful Great Earl of Hell.


Etymology

'Furfur' or 'furfures' in Latin means "bran". However it seems more likely that the name is a corruption of 'Furcifer' the Latin word for scoundrel.


Rank

Furfur is a Count or Earl of Hell who rules 26 legions.


Appearance

Furfur appears as an angel or a stag with a flaming tail and speaks only lies unless enclosed in a triangle. To some authors he changes from hart into angel when compelled to enter the magic triangle. He would speak in a raucous voice

Powers

Furfur is a liar unless compelled to enter a magic triangle where he gives true answers to every question, speaking with a rough voice. Furfur causes love between a man and a woman, creates storms, tempests, thunder, lightning, and blasts, and teaches on secret and divine things.
