【LORA】Forneus (Goetia)

〇 Forneus (Goetia) One of the 72 demons listed in the *Goetia*, holding the rank of 30th. He is a Great Marquis of Hell who commands 29 legions composed of fallen angels who formerly held the ranks of Thrones and Angels. He is said to appear in the form of a sea monster when summoned. He is a figure well-known primarily through video games; in the *Shin Megami Tensei* series, he appears as a ray, while in *Romancing SaGa 3*, he is one of the Four Sinistrals—manifesting as an apparition resembling the ancient sea beast Leviathan/Melvirei, with a true form that is a beautiful, elf-eared youth. He is well-versed in rhetoric and linguistics and is said to be skilled at bestowing names. He also possesses the power to foster such good relationships that he becomes beloved even by his enemies. For the illustration, I chose a shark—thinking it would be relatively easy to anthropomorphize among sea beasts—but it turned out to be quite troublesome; in fact, among the anthropomorphized demons I've created so far, this one is currently the least stable in terms of execution. When placed alongside other characters, the anthropomorphic design tends to fall apart and get pulled toward the other character's style, so I feel the current level of completion is less than 30%. Someone help me~! (>_<) (Desperate plea) In the Demon World, he is a lord governing territories both underwater and on land in the Southern Region, and he holds the post of Southern Branch Chief for the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. Although he is a "True Demon," his exceptional ability to build relationships has allowed him to recruit more fallen angels under his command than any of the other 72 demons; he continues to accept angels who defect from the Celestial Realm, providing them with housing and employment in his territory. He is highly skilled in multiple languages; in addition to his native Modern Demon World tongue, he is fluent in languages ​​from other realms—such as Ancient Demon World, Celestial, and Buddhist Realm languages—as well as human-world languages ​​like Latin, Ancient Egyptian, Hebrew, Sumerian, Akkadian, Celtic, Sanskrit, and Classical Chinese.
