The devil is a fallen angel. He was once the most glorious one in heaven. He is represented as a fawn-like being with hideous features. Forked tongue. The top of a man and the legs of a goat. A barbed tail. Horns. Usually depicted as a shade of red. Usually muscular. That is the image that people give him today, but he is actually a beautiful creature with an ugly spirit.
