The Ukobach, from Dictionnaire Infernal.

In Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy's 1818 Dictionnaire Infernal , Ukobach or Urobach is described as a "demon of an inferior order". He is shown with a flaming or red body, large eyes and ears and often a pan full of coals or a hot poker. He is said to be the inventor of fireworks and the art of frying foods. He is charged by Belzebuth to maintain the "oil in the infernal boilers", which is made of the blood of the damned, "forged in the west where the sun sets".

<i>Dictionnaire Infernal</i> Literary work

The Dictionnaire Infernal is a book on demonology, describing demons organised in hierarchies. It was written by Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy and first published in 1818. There were several editions of the book; perhaps the most famous is the 1863 edition, which included sixty-nine illustrations by Louis Le Breton depicting the appearances of several of the demons. Many but not all of these images were later used in S. L. MacGregor Mathers's edition of The Lesser Key of Solomon.
