Prince Belphegor
Belphegor is one of seven princes of Hell, who helps people make discoveries.
He often seduces people by suggesting to them ingenious inventions that will make them rich.
He is the chief demon of the deadly sin known as Sloth but also represents Vanity.
It is said he was sent from Hell by Pluto to find out if there was really such thing on earth as married happiness. Rumor of such had reached the demons but they knew that people were not designed to live in harmony so Belphegors experiences in the world soon convinced him that the rumor was groundless.
He is depicted in two fashions: as a beautiful young woman or as a monstrous, bearded demon with horns and sharply pointed nails.

Yan-Gant-Y-Tan
Yan-Gant is often spotted on road sides and in poorly beaten forest paths and meeting him is a bad omen.
He holds five candles on the five fingers of his right hand and spins them about like a flaming wheel as a result of which he is unable to turn quickly for fear of extinguishing their light.
The only sure way to ward off the bad omen Yan-Gant is to leave a small bag of gold or of gold chain around a travelers post which he will steal and leave you for another day, but in contrast to his nature it is said that should your lantern run out of light, on a whim, he may appear and give five candles to a person who has none, thus lighting the way for the traveler for the rest of the night.
He is depicted as a wiry old troll or hairy wild man, but the only way to surely distinguish him from other such creatures of course is the 5 candles upon his great hand.
