Demon # 203 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

When Morpheus decends into Hell to reclaim his stolen helm he encounters many demons of various shapes and sizes.

This is one of the more unique demons.

He appears in the fantastic double page spread, which features hundreds of demons. This demon may not be the easiest to spot. It is located near the tall column to the left. I described it as a “plant-like demon” for lack of a better description.

Max took this bizarre creature and created a demon that is pretty awesome and frightening. I can imagine this as something that would have appeared in some old European folk tale…a demon that lives in a tree and eats unsuspecting travelers.

This demon appears in Sandman # 4, on page 13.
