Adramelech

In Assyrian mythology Adramelech was a form of the Baals, a god very similar to Moloch. To him were offered in sacrifice children who were thrown into fire.

Other spellings: Adrammelech, Adar-malik.


After being turned into a demon in Christian times, in demonology Adramelech became the President of the Senate of the demons and supervisor of Satan's wardrobe, being generally depicted with a human torso and head, and the rest of the body of a mule.
