whichbe commented on the word onoskelis
"I am a spirit which has been made into a body. I recline in a den on the earth. I make my home in caves. However, I have a many-sided character. Sometimes I strangle men; sometimes I pervert them from their true natures. Most of the time, my habitats are cliffs, caves, and ravines. Frequently, I also associate with men who think of me as a woman, especially with whose skin is honey-colored, for we are of the same constellation. It is also true that they worship my star secretly and openly. They do not know that they deceive themselves and excite me to be an evil doer all the more. For they want to obtain gold by remembering (me), but I grant little to those who seriously worship me."
-- Testament of Solomon 4:4-7

I doubt you've ever strangled men or perverted them from their true natures.
Wait....
I doubt you've ever strangled men.

I would worship your star if I thought it would excite you to be an evil doer all the more.

Yarb, you big tease...
Remember, I grant little to those who seriously worship me. *hoping and praying that makes it onto reesetee's list*
... Wait. There's mention of gold here, but nothing about my tiara. Or, for that matter, my love of salmon.

Clearly, then, it's a lesser demon.
