In [[demonology]], '''Furfur''' (other spelling: Furtur) is a powerful Great Earl of [[Hell]], being the ruler of twenty-nine legions of [[demon]]s. He 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 [[storm]]s, tempests, thunder, [[lightning]], and blasts, and teaches on secret and divine things.
He is depicted as a [[deer|hart]] or winged hart, and also as an [[angel]]. To some authors he changes from hart into angel when compelled to enter the magic triangle.
'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.
== In modern culture ==
