Origin[]
Valac (also spelled Valak or Volac) is a demon featured in the Ars Goetia, a section of the Lesser Key of Solomon, a 17th-century grimoire. He is described as the 62nd spirit and holds the rank of President among the infernal spirits.
Valac typically manifests as a small boy with angelic wings, riding a two-headed dragon. This appearance contrasts with his demonic nature, giving him an unsettling juxtaposition of innocence and malevolence. His appearance may lure those who underestimate him due to his innocent façade, but his control over serpents and treasure indicates a cunning and potentially dangerous spirit.
Valac is known for his ability to locate hidden treasures, particularly those guarded by serpents or other creatures. He can also reveal the location of serpents and has the power to control them, making him a valuable ally for those seeking hidden wealth or attempting to control dangerous creatures, but his aid comes with risks typical of dealing with demonic entities.
