Ichthion

Ichthion: A demon who appears in the pseudepigraphal Testament of Solomon, Ichthion is one of thirty-six demons associated with the decans of the zodiac. He is said to appear with the head of a beast and the body of a man, and he causes muscle cramps and spasms. If he is feeling especially vicious, he can also completely paralyze the muscles of his victims. This demon of disease and suffering can be driven away with the name Adonaeth. This
name is very likely a variant of Adonai, one of the Hebrew names of God.
