Ose
Oso · Voso
A leopard at first, then a man's shape.
Makes men cunning in the liberal sciences, gives true answers of divine and secret things, and changes a man into any shape, so that he believes himself to be that thing.
The induced delusion — the victim “shall not know it, but think himself that creature” — is the catalogue's most psychologically unsettling office.
The wiki gives Ose a city of his own, Ghaunapthal, in the outlands of the Iron City of Dis, where he holds court; among demons he has long been a mystery, a reclusive lone wolf. He is said to lead assaults in person with Seere providing fire support, and three commanders of his legions are named: Agrillat, Beevelios and Olvoban. Per Weyer the delusions he inflicts last only an hour, and his name is traced to Latin 'os' (mouth) or 'osor' (one who hates).
Ose changes a man into any shape — and he believes he was always so. Perhaps it has already happened.
