:
Often called "le Grand Negre" (The Black Man), Leonard is
demon of the first order, grand master of the sabbaths, chief of the
subaltern demons, and inspector general of sorcery, black magic and
witchcraft. From the waist up, Leonard has a goat's body with 3 horns
on his head, a goat's beard, hair-like bristles, 2 ears like foxes,
and inflamed eyes. He also has a face on his butt, which witches kiss
while holding a green candle to adore him. Leonard can take the form
of a bloodhound, a beef, a black bird, or a tree trunk with a gloomy
face. When he attends the sabbath, he has the feet of a goose, although
experts claim that he has no feet when in tree trunk form. Leonard's
attitude is reserved and melancholic, but when he appears at witch and
devil assemblies, he is commanding and uses situations to his advantage
