Template:Short description Template:About Template:Redirect Template:More footnotes
In demonology, Orobas is a powerful Great Prince of Hell, having twenty legions of demons under his control.
It is said that Orobas answers questions and gives one power and control over others, protects a summoner from the persecution of any other evil spirits and offer favor from one's friends and enemies, puts a stop to slander and gossips about the summoner, and that Orobas gives true answers about past, present and future. Orobas is said to give true direction and knowledge to a summoner who humbles themselves.
Orobas is depicted with flaming eyes and resembles a brown stallion bucking up with dust. He also is depicted as a hairy dark man with a horse head with red eyes.
The name could come from the Latin 'orobias', a type of incense.
Popular cultureEdit
Orobas is portrayed as a horse-footed student in Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun.
Orobas is featured as a Shadow in many Megami Tensei (and thus Persona) titles. It is portrayed as a bipedal horse with dark red fur.
