Ose (demon)
Template:Short description Template:More citations needed
In demonology, Ose (Pronounced /ˈɒze/),<ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref> is a Great President of Hell, ruling three legions of demons (thirty to other authors, and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum gives no number of legions). He makes men wise in all liberal sciences and gives true answers concerning divine and secret things; he also brings insanity to any person the conjurer wishes, making them believe that they are king and wearing a crown, or a Pope. However, his spells only last 1 hour at a time.<ref name=":0" />
Additionally, Ose has the ability to transform people into any shape the conjuror wishes. The victims of the curse will be unaware they have been transformed, or can make them believe they have been changed.<ref name=":0" />
Ose is depicted as a leopard that after a while changes into a man but can appear as an adult or child at will.
Etymology
His name seems to derive from Latin 'os', mouth, language, bone, or 'osor', that who abhors.
Other spellings: Osé, Oze, Oso, Voso.
