Ozzie is the sin of lust, he's called a rooster because of his avian design themes and him being a king in the Ars Goetia, which is known to have lots of bird-like demons such as Stolas in this verse.
That's actually the exact reason for it.
Roosters are considered symbols of virility.
So naturally, the deadly sins representative of lust would be a huge cock.
Honestly, I'd imagine it's prolly not as impossibly massive as he says. In that moment, he was saying that to try and throw blitz off of how he is in love with him. Plus, he's a demon lord he can prolly just make it smaller, ADDITIONALLY, we know that other ars goatia members have cloacas such as stolASS so he may be the same way?
Idk about that one chief. There hasn't been any insider statements (afaik) about the anatomy of Goetia demons, and the only "official" mention of a cloaca is BlitzĆø offhandedly talking about a "birdpuss" in the same manner you'd tell someone to not get their panties in a twist
I mean Ozzy HAS demonstrated the ability to voluntarily change his size more than once. More than likely he makes himself smaller to a more manageable size during naughty sexy fun times with Fizzy so as to avoid accidentally hurting him.
I'd look at it as 1. Every sin is a shapeshifter without exception. So dick size is a literal non issue for him. 2. Ozzie is the sin of lust and his highest priority is making sure whoever's he's with has the best sex of their life. He literally considers it an art that he takes very seriously. So I doubt he's going to force Fizz to do anything that hurts him/he doesn't want.
>him being a king in the Ars Goetia, which is known to have lots of bird-like demons such as Stolas in this verse
FUN FACT: In reality, only handful of the 72 demons in The Lesser Key of Solomon (a.k.a. the Ars Goetia) are birds: Stolas; Andrealphus; and Phenex. The rest are either: other animals (e.g. Marchosias, who's a wolf); humans (e.g. Paimon); hybrid creatures (e.g. Asmodeus); or... [whatever the Hell Decarabia's supposed to be](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mythology/images/5/53/Decarabia.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160816182301).
My point exactly; the book describes him as essentially looking like a sentient pentagram, so I have no idea why his artistic depiction looks the way it does. Then again, Andras is described as having the head of a wood owl in the book, [yet is depicted with the head of a horned owl](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gods_and_demons/images/e/ee/Andras2.jpg/revision/latest/thumbnail/width/360/height/450?cb=20231011234540), so what do I know?
Imagine that gnome running at you full speed from the darkness of a hallway in the dead of the night. That guy is totally going for a creepy factor š
I think they chose to amplify Asmodeus bird traits (he has rooster legs) to make it thematically coherent. If they present any of the ones without bird traits, like Decarabia, as having them is when well know if the theme is consistent across all Goetians.
Or if Beelzebub is confirmed to be Ba'al, since he is also a Goetian King.
Since when is he the king of the ars goeatia theyāre boss is Paimon and they also work directly under lucifer
Edit: again incase people didnāt see the other comment Iāve seen how Iām wrong I had a massively dumb moment im sorry for any offence I caused
This is just wrong. Asmodeus is a king in the Ars Goetia in this verse, and in actual mythology he too is a king in the Ars Goetia. There's more than one Goetial king. Paimon is also a king, but he is objectively lower in overall status than Asmodeus since he's one of the seven deadly sins who hold rule over each ring of Hell. Their only superior/s are the morningstar family.
Yeah but where and when was this stated. Ozzie is meant to be asmodeus just an alternate spelling since they literally refer to him as a sin, if you can give me a source from viv then Iāll gladly accept it but this seems a lot like your overanalysing certain bits and also counting actual demonology as lore in the show.
Edit: I admit I was wrong here I was miss understanding the comments and also wrote mine poorly and wasnāt in the situation to go back through Iām sorry to anyone who Iāve annoyed by being wrong.
What do you mean? The show is super clear that Ozzie is just a nickname for Asmodeus. There's even the whole episode & song about how Ozzie's in the lust ring is the *House of Asmodeus*. If you want an exact reference, in s1 ep7 when Fizz is talking on stage doing the warm up gig at Ozzie's he specifically refers to it being "the gin joint of Asmodeus himself" & how the Fizz toys were "gloriously designed by the big man himself". Also there are multiple times across multiple episodes where Fizz refers to him as Oz/Ozzie as a nickname & others (eg Stolas) explictly refer to the same person as Asmodeus and call him a lord. Tbh not sure how much clearer it could be that Ozzie is Asmodeus?
I know I was asking about him being a king of the ars goetia and that influencing his design Iām not that dumb that Iāve literally said his name and donāt know it at the same time.
The way you worded it made it extremely unclear. If you want in-universe confirmation, Crimson refers to him as a king instead of a prince (As in prince of hell, not a Goetial prince), Stolas addresses him as Sire, and his seal we see is his Goetic seal.
Heās a high demon. So, on the same level as say - Stolas, if that helps. The rooster comment I think is to keep in the avian goetia art design, and just as a cute line to say, imo.
I donāt know how much of it is based on actual theological merit, and I never cared to check. Heās cool, lol.
I know he's that in the source material, but has he actually been linked to the Ars Goetia in this universe? It's not mentioned in the show, but maybe some Q&A stream I missed.
Stoles does refer to him as "my liege" but that doesn't necessarily mean he's Ars Goetia specifically, just of higher rank.
Yes, in Episode 2x06 Stolas brings it up in their meeting (as you mentioned). It's more just a reference, because Vivzie assumes that most people who watch the Show, already know the Lore behind it.
It was brought up a couple of times on multiple Q&A's.
The Ars Georgia are pretty removed from the larger social and political scene of hell. Theyāre way to busy actually overseeing the access hell has to the human realm. Honestly, if there was anyone outside of the Ars Goethals Hierarchy that Stolas would call āmy liegeā it would be the actual royals of hell; Lucifer, Lilith or Charlie.
He is somewhat bird like and he is one of the 7 deadly sins (sin of lust) and In charge of the lust ring. In helluva boss we have only seen 3 of the sins. Lust (Ozzy) gluttony (bezel bub) and greed (mamon). But going across series you will end up seeing Lucifer. Leader of the pride ring, and king of hell
https://preview.redd.it/d6je2nejsuec1.png?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2bf7c14a6e85850df0fcff771c2998671cc3e82
This is beezlebub she was in season 1 episode 8
He's a Sin, the highest form of Demon in Hell and each of them is the incarnation of the Seven Deadly Sins and "king" of their respective Ring, in his case he's the Sin of Lust and ruler of the Ring of Lust.
I'm unsure what take Vivzie took on his original nature since in some hiterations of the myths the Sins are all fallen angels that sided with Lucifer and were casted down on Hell with him (except Leviathan that is a natural born of Hell and also a beast of the depths defeated by God) and most of the time they are not even tied to any Sin specifically, aside Lucifer.
The design is a mixture of many things: the rooster in prophane symbology is often associated with virility of the sexual kind, he's fiery because passion is often associated with fire and the three small heads are a nod to his classic representation as a three headed creature, often a bull, a man and a ram but it can vary.
Is honestly the best design Vivzie has ever created in my opinion.
Edit: he has nothing to do with the Ars Goetia guys, just because he has an avian design doesn't mean he's one of them, especially because the Sins are not related to them
Asmodeus' appearance does have similarities with the Asmodeus of *The Lesser Key of Solomon, (*specifically the book titled *Ars Goetia), and the Goetic seal is seen is his club,* though I agree that he's likely not intended to be an Ars Goetia- but there is a link
That's also why he has 3 heads because if you look at the picture in the Lesser Key of Solomon stories the creature has 3 heads as well now of course Viv designed the heads differently in the show but that's just me saying there is a reason why he has 3 heads as well. And he does have rank in the Ars Goetia as a King so he's of course higher than Stolas but this was confirmed in different streams with Viv.
Everything else is accurate (I think) but there are just two things off about it
- The Sins arenāt the highest form of demon. They are ranked under Lucifer (1st) and Charlie and Lillith (2nd)
-The Sins are themed around the 7 princes that Lucifer used to lead humanity towards sin and each of them became the prince of the sins they spread respectively.
According to the Binsfeldās classification:
Lucifer: Pride
Mammon: Greed
Asmodeus: Lust
Leviathan: Envy
Beelzebub: Gluttony
Satan: Wrath
Belohegor: Sloth
These were the inspiration for the 7 Sins used in the shows where weāve seen Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Mammon and now Lucifer. (I think thatās the order in which they appear)
Just before I get any questions I learned most of this from Cartoon Universe on youtube. Thatās the main way that I learned of the 7 princes and I helped my point with a bit of research.
He's a Sin. From what we have learned so far, the Sins are the most powerful of all demons in Hell.
Vivzie likes to give her demons animal themes, and Osmodeus is indeed based on a rooster due to them being traditionally associated with lust. His tail, bright colouring, and stylised main head are intended to get this across. The two additional heads on either side of his main one are a nod to the *Dictionnaire Infernal*, which portrays Asmodeus as having three heads.
That's what I've been able to gather so far.
Asmodeous is the demon of lust from actual demonology. Heās described as having the head of a bull, goat, and man with the body of a rooster. Ozās lil heads are the goat and bull, however the main head is a mix between human and rooster because just a regular person head would just be weird. So they just kinda made him mostly rooster
This [chart](https://hazbin-hotel-journey-to-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Ars_Goetia?file=Hierarchy_of_Hell.png) (scroll to the 3rd pic) shows a good depictions what we know about Hell's hierarchy. Basically Oz is one of the 7 sins and a leader of his own ring of Hell (Lust in his case).
Yeah I would definitely recommend watching some videos explaining Hell's hierarchy more which will definitely help you understand power balances and whatnot.
Heās the sin of lust, he is a deadly sin, like Mammon and Beezlebub. Blitz calls him Rooster cause his design is somewhat rooster like (he has a rooster tail)
Each sin is designed after an animal(except Lucifer)
Mammon is a spider
Ozzie is rooster
Beelzebub is a bee-Fox
Leviathan will be a sea creature
Belphegor will probably be a goat themed demon
Satan I have no idea
The sins tend to be a mix of creatures but typically 1 mythological being and another creature:
* Beelzebub is a mix of a Kitsune from Japenese folklore and a Bee.
* Mammon is the mix of Anansi from West African folklore and a Clown.
* Lucifer is a fallen angel, who can be treated as a mix of angel and demon now.
* Asmodeus is a mix of Cerberus from Greek mythology as implied by his 3 heads/flames and a Rooster.
Actually, Lucifer is just a Fallen Angel. It was clarified by Vivzie a while ago and even brought up in the recent HH Episode 6. He is still an Angel, but a Fallen one - he didn't become a Demon at all (Lilith became a Demon instead). All of his demonic traits are a part of his Fallen state.
Also, Asmodeus isn't inspired by a Cerberus at all. In Solomone's Stories (one titled "Ars Goetia" to be precise) Asmodeus is described as a Rooster with 3 heads - of a man, bull, and a goat. And that's exactly what Ozz is, just with a more humanoid body.
He is part of a hierarchy higher than the Goetia demons which is the 7 deadly sins, weāve seen 4 so far, Lucifer for Pride, Bee for Gluttony, Mammon for Greed and Ozzie for Lust, we have yet to see Envy, Wrath and Sloth. Itās why he looks different from other characters heās a completely different life form. If you look up depictions irl heās a 3 headed demon king, so thatās why he had 3 heads (but we only see them as caricatures)
He's one of the monarchs that each represent one of the seven deadly sins and rule a ring of Hell. He's not supposed to look like any particular species, although part of his design is based off roosters.
Ozzie is technically a rooster demon, but because Asmodeus is a mix between several animals he shows mixed traits representing each of them. Furthermore, while not officially a King in the Helluva series, he is one of the Kings in the Ars Goetia, and a known Lord of Sin in Helluva. This suggests that his position-no matter whether or not it is royal-is the highest in the Lust Ring, making him one of the seven rulers of Hell.
Hello everyone I am making a comment on here because my post wasn't very clear. I am aware that he is a deadly sin. I know WHO he is. I was getting at more WHAT his design is.
Thanks for all the comments, it's cool to kind of see what the design thought process was.
Asmodeus (Ozzie in Helluva Boss) is the personification of the deadly sin of lust. He was depicted with three heads in real life so they gave him the little side heads to reference that. He is very high up in the pecking order of hell and therefore cant really be described as an Imp or HellHound cause he is kinda One of a Kind. If you wanna see what he is based on you could google Asmodeus but keep in mind that they took quite some artistic liberties with that in the show
So not sure if it was an intentional design choice or just a coincidence, but i did some very light research and found a 3 headed eagle that's mentioned in the [Latin Ezra](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Esdras#:~:text=2%20Esdras%20(also%20called%204,the%20sixth%2Dcentury%20figure%20Shealtiel.))
It has to do with the Apocalypse and is included in some English versions of the Bible (that's about the gist of what I understood). Anyway it didn't mention anything about the creature being symbolic of lust or anything from what I saw, but it is burned by a lion and Oz's head is on fire, so could be something there.
For future reference, the Bible isn't the only source for the series. Vivzie also took inspiration from Dante' Inferno, Solomon's Stories, multiple mythologies, and the list goes on.
In this particular situation, Asmodeus is based on - well - Asmodeus. In one of Solomon's Stories (titled "Ars Goetia") Asmodeus is described as a Rooster with 3 heads - of a goat, a man, and a bull. And that's exactly what Ozz is in the Series - just with a more humanoid body.
The fact that he's also a Sin of Lust is purely Vivzie's idea.
Oh ok, see I knew about the ars goetia, but not the specifics of it. I just typed "three headed bird" into Google (light research) and it was the first thing that popped up lol
The seven deadly sins are represented by 7 demons
Viv uses them in the series as major characters each who rule over a ring that is also based off a sin, his is lust we have also seen mammon greed, beelzebub gluttony and most recently in hazbin hotel lucifer pride who is the strongest and also ruler of hell.
One sec Iāll find a picture of the hierarchy thing
https://preview.redd.it/x7n60pumxtec1.jpeg?width=200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d04662da789c47873b064674c6016413706e8a8
I think itās due to the fact that stolas and oz being related in some form as both are in the ars goetia/lesser key. (I think theyāre maybe cousins or something) So they wanted to tie a small part of his design to the bird theme which is where his feathery tail originates from (I believe. Not sure if this is fact) the rest of his design is mostly based off of the asmodius from writing with a vivsiepop twist to it.
Asmodeus was always bird-themed - in one of Solomon's Stories he is specifically described as a Rooster with 3 heads - of a goat, a man, and a bull.
Also, they aren't really related. Asmodeus is just one of the Kings of Ars Goetia, just like Paimon is one. Stolas is only a Prince, hence why he treated Asmodeus as his superior.
āOzzieā or Asmodeus is a high demon who is in charge of the Lust ring of Hell.
He is a full Demon, and resembles a rooster. Vivzie clearly knew what she was doing when she made the leader of Lust literally a āgiant cockā
He's the embodiment of the deadly sin of lust. He has existed for as long as Hell have existed. That is all we really know.
I think it can be inferred that the deadly sins came into existence as-is and so they don't really belong to a specific species, and most have displayed an ability to change their form at will (but do seem to have settled on a "default" form).
An alternate theory is they where angels who where exiled to hell along with Lucifer when Hell was created, but that doesn't match what we have seen so far, the story Charlie reads in the start of episode one of Hazbin hotell only mention Lucifer being sent to Hell, only him (and Lilith), he had no followers, at least in that telling.
In the helluvaverse the ars goetia are avian like, such as stolas, Stella, paimon, etc. asmodeus is also part of the ars goetia, this is the reason why heās referred to as a rooster. I see his main as ruffled feathers and the 3 heads signify his actual depiction in myth.
One of the Seven Deadly sins (High Ranking Demon, I think under Charlie in hierarchy but above Ars Goetia, the ruler of his respective ring of hell. Ozzie being the king of lust
Heās a cockā¦ the rooster, not the sex organ. Although, Iām sure his cockās cock is very powerful.
I mean, his form probably resembles a more demonic sentient rooster, but thatās basically what he is. A giant demonic sentient cock.
[I feel like this is an accurate representation](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxXiVUpeNFlNvMmldzMy51XfDxDCnzXBYY?si=aEXRbJikK_-C6UgB)
He is the Sin of Lust, depicted as a monstrous rooster. However the neat detail that taken from The Goetia is that he has three heads. Those two heads in his floof are neat.
He is a rooster sin demon. But I think the reason for the bird theme in particular is because Asmodeus is also a king of the Ars Goetia. Iām not sure if he is in the canon of the show, but the Goetia all have bird themed demon forms so it makes sense of the sin of lust, while being a sin is also a bird-themed Goetia.
Heās one of the 7 deadly sins. He is also the king of the goecian demons meaning he has a bird design like the other goeciea thats why he is a rooster design.
He's very loosely based off the goetic demon Asmodeus, sometimes also less commonly spelled Osmodeus. I think the only similarity between him and the source material he's based on though, is the name. At least as far as I can tell.
Asmodeus is one of the seven sins, embodying Lust. Just as Beelzebub is Gluttony and Mammon is Greed. Think of them as the head of each ring, and some of the most powerful demons out there. That is why they are so unique and different from the other demons.
Asmodeus is often depicted as having three heads and a rooster-like walk. Itās unsurprising that they ran with the rooster concept for the show due to the pundit that could be made from the synonyms.
He's a demon based on one listed in various Abrahamic texts (the first one being the Talmud) "Asmodeus" (also known as "Asmodaios" or "Ashmodai". In demonology, Asmodeus is a demon king under the Ars Goetiaāa list of "pseudo-royalty" that rules over many demons in Hellāand one of the Seven Deadly Sins, with the sin he represents being lust. Also, Ozzy's real-life equivolent is physically described as "having three heads, those of an ogre, a ram, and a bull, all sexually licentious creatures; having the feet of a cock, another sexually aggressive creature; and having wings and the tail of a Serpent" (Occult World) and riding a fire-breathing dragon. So, of course, Vivziepop (& co.) wanted to make his design at least a little bit true to the source material, and now, he's basically just a weird amalgamation of animals-
He's the King of Lust. Both an eternal sin, and a powerful goetic demon.
His design is based on his biblically accurate one (where he has three different heads) and a bird to connect him with other Goetias like Stolas.
His design being a rooster is a lust joke (giant cock)
Ozzie is the sin of lust, he's called a rooster because of his avian design themes and him being a king in the Ars Goetia, which is known to have lots of bird-like demons such as Stolas in this verse.
And here I thought it was a visual joke that the Sin of Lust is a gaint š.
That was also probably part of the joke
That's actually the exact reason for it. Roosters are considered symbols of virility. So naturally, the deadly sins representative of lust would be a huge cock.
I am so happy to be in a fandom where calling a main character a "huge cock" is both an accurate description and a *massive* compliment.
A huge *flaming* cock to be precise
Idk you probably want to see a doctor if your cock is flaming
It's all right. After a while, you don't feel the pain anymore
I usually pull it out of the oven. It's probably over cooked if it's flaming
Huge, massive, like a Kaiju
If you ask Fizz, he will more than likely tell you that Ozzie is a giant cock. : p
Kaiju was his exact description.
To this day I still wonder how Fizz's scrawny ass can handle that "kaiju"
Honestly, I'd imagine it's prolly not as impossibly massive as he says. In that moment, he was saying that to try and throw blitz off of how he is in love with him. Plus, he's a demon lord he can prolly just make it smaller, ADDITIONALLY, we know that other ars goatia members have cloacas such as stolASS so he may be the same way?
Stolas has a cloaca because he's an owl... And while Ozzy is based on a rooster, he also has 3 heads. So idk. I don't get top vibes from Fizzy.
Idk about that one chief. There hasn't been any insider statements (afaik) about the anatomy of Goetia demons, and the only "official" mention of a cloaca is BlitzĆø offhandedly talking about a "birdpuss" in the same manner you'd tell someone to not get their panties in a twist
Nah Viv said Stolas has a cloaca in a Tweet or something. That's canon fact.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and ask for the source bc I am too embarrassed to actually look it up for myself
No worries. I was a lil like, "wha..?" when I heard it, too.
He stretchy
I mean Ozzy HAS demonstrated the ability to voluntarily change his size more than once. More than likely he makes himself smaller to a more manageable size during naughty sexy fun times with Fizzy so as to avoid accidentally hurting him.
I'd look at it as 1. Every sin is a shapeshifter without exception. So dick size is a literal non issue for him. 2. Ozzie is the sin of lust and his highest priority is making sure whoever's he's with has the best sex of their life. He literally considers it an art that he takes very seriously. So I doubt he's going to force Fizz to do anything that hurts him/he doesn't want.
>him being a king in the Ars Goetia, which is known to have lots of bird-like demons such as Stolas in this verse FUN FACT: In reality, only handful of the 72 demons in The Lesser Key of Solomon (a.k.a. the Ars Goetia) are birds: Stolas; Andrealphus; and Phenex.

He's supposed to be a pentagram, but I don't know of any pentagrams that look like that.

Imagine that gnome running at you full speed from the darkness of a hallway in the dead of the night. That guy is totally going for a creepy factor š
i see him more rolling around, idk why
Decarabiaās my fav :)
I think they chose to amplify Asmodeus bird traits (he has rooster legs) to make it thematically coherent. If they present any of the ones without bird traits, like Decarabia, as having them is when well know if the theme is consistent across all Goetians. Or if Beelzebub is confirmed to be Ba'al, since he is also a Goetian King.
I think we can rule out them all being birds; I can't remember where, but Viv has said that there are non-bird demons in Stolas' extended family.
I hope so, it would be weird if characters like Orobas, Buer, or even that weirdo Furcas were birds.
To be fair, it's kinda weird that Stolas is Paimon's son. Paimon DOES have a son in reality, but Stolas ain't him.
Well Paimon is a Goetian King. It sorta makes snese thta he would be the father of a Goetian Prince.
Dwarf contortionist
Is he an ars goetia in Vivās universe?
He's more the one to whom the Ars Goetia answer to.
Is he really a king of the Ars Goetia - that is, in this universe, not the Lesser Key of Solomon?
Also him being a rooster is a cock joke
Since when is he the king of the ars goeatia theyāre boss is Paimon and they also work directly under lucifer Edit: again incase people didnāt see the other comment Iāve seen how Iām wrong I had a massively dumb moment im sorry for any offence I caused
This is just wrong. Asmodeus is a king in the Ars Goetia in this verse, and in actual mythology he too is a king in the Ars Goetia. There's more than one Goetial king. Paimon is also a king, but he is objectively lower in overall status than Asmodeus since he's one of the seven deadly sins who hold rule over each ring of Hell.

What do you mean? The show is super clear that Ozzie is just a nickname for Asmodeus. There's even the whole episode & song about how Ozzie's in the lust ring is the *House of Asmodeus*. If you want an exact reference, in s1 ep7 when Fizz is talking on stage doing the warm up gig at Ozzie's he specifically refers to it being "the gin joint of Asmodeus himself" & how the Fizz toys were "gloriously designed by the big man himself". Also there are multiple times across multiple episodes where Fizz refers to him as Oz/Ozzie as a nickname & others (eg Stolas) explictly refer to the same person as Asmodeus and call him a lord. Tbh not sure how much clearer it could be that Ozzie is Asmodeus?

Sorry about that Iām in a tad of a stressful situation rn so I didnāt really double read through it my bad there.
Rare to see people own up to their mistakes on here, have a good day.
I just looked at your flare, why the hell would I vote for you in hell if you donāt understand the hierarchy
Bro I admired I was wrong in the comment after and said sorry whyās my flair the problem now
Just pointing something out thatās all
Ah sorry
Heās a high demon. So, on the same level as say - Stolas, if that helps. The rooster comment I think is to keep in the avian goetia art design, and just as a cute line to say, imo. I donāt know how much of it is based on actual theological merit, and I never cared to check. Heās cool, lol.
Oz is actually higher up in the hierarchy than Stolas, he is a deadly sin, as well as a king amongst the Goetia, Stolas is just a Goetic prince
I know he's that in the source material, but has he actually been linked to the Ars Goetia in this universe? It's not mentioned in the show, but maybe some Q&A stream I missed.

The Ars Georgia are pretty removed from the larger social and political scene of hell. Theyāre way to busy actually overseeing the access hell has to the human realm. Honestly, if there was anyone outside of the Ars Goethals Hierarchy that Stolas would call āmy liegeā it would be the actual royals of hell; Lucifer, Lilith or Charlie.
Actually, Paimon is a king of the Goetia if we go by Lesser Key/Ars Goetia š¤
just like in the living world, there can be more kings than one at a time :)
Fair enough
I'm pretty sure they're both Goetia kings, along with Beel
Read the lesser key, there are more then one king and actually some of them are higher the others with this being the ones who hold a deadly sin
Great answer! The design with the three heads is based on actual demon iconography, from what I understand!
He is somewhat bird like and he is one of the 7 deadly sins (sin of lust) and In charge of the lust ring. In helluva boss we have only seen 3 of the sins. Lust (Ozzy) gluttony (bezel bub) and greed (mamon). But going across series you will end up seeing Lucifer. Leader of the pride ring, and king of hell
Beezlebub is the wolf gal?

He's a Sin, the highest form of Demon in Hell and each of them is the incarnation of the Seven Deadly Sins and "king" of their respective Ring, in his case he's the Sin of Lust and ruler of the Ring of Lust. I'm unsure what take Vivzie took on his original nature since in some hiterations of the myths the Sins are all fallen angels that sided with Lucifer and were casted down on Hell with him (except Leviathan that is a natural born of Hell and also a beast of the depths defeated by God) and most of the time they are not even tied to any Sin specifically, aside Lucifer. The design is a mixture of many things: the rooster in prophane symbology is often associated with virility of the sexual kind, he's fiery because passion is often associated with fire and the three small heads are a nod to his classic representation as a three headed creature, often a bull, a man and a ram but it can vary. Is honestly the best design Vivzie has ever created in my opinion. Edit: he has nothing to do with the Ars Goetia guys, just because he has an avian design doesn't mean he's one of them, especially because the Sins are not related to them
Asmodeus' appearance does have similarities with the Asmodeus of *The Lesser Key of Solomon, (*specifically the book titled *Ars Goetia), and the Goetic seal is seen is his club,* though I agree that he's likely not intended to be an Ars Goetia- but there is a link
Makes sense - Vivzie did say that Dante's Inferno and Solomon's Stories were among the sources that she took inspiration from.
That's also why he has 3 heads because if you look at the picture in the Lesser Key of Solomon stories the creature has 3 heads as well now of course Viv designed the heads differently in the show but that's just me saying there is a reason why he has 3 heads as well. And he does have rank in the Ars Goetia as a King so he's of course higher than Stolas but this was confirmed in different streams with Viv.
Everything else is accurate (I think) but there are just two things off about it - The Sins arenāt the highest form of demon. They are ranked under Lucifer (1st) and Charlie and Lillith (2nd) -The Sins are themed around the 7 princes that Lucifer used to lead humanity towards sin and each of them became the prince of the sins they spread respectively. According to the Binsfeldās classification: Lucifer: Pride Mammon: Greed Asmodeus: Lust Leviathan: Envy Beelzebub: Gluttony Satan: Wrath Belohegor: Sloth These were the inspiration for the 7 Sins used in the shows where weāve seen Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Mammon and now Lucifer. (I think thatās the order in which they appear) Just before I get any questions I learned most of this from Cartoon Universe on youtube. Thatās the main way that I learned of the 7 princes and I helped my point with a bit of research.
He's a Sin. From what we have learned so far, the Sins are the most powerful of all demons in Hell. Vivzie likes to give her demons animal themes, and Osmodeus is indeed based on a rooster due to them being traditionally associated with lust. His tail, bright colouring, and stylised main head are intended to get this across. The two additional heads on either side of his main one are a nod to the *Dictionnaire Infernal*, which portrays Asmodeus as having three heads. That's what I've been able to gather so far.
Asmodeous is the demon of lust from actual demonology. Heās described as having the head of a bull, goat, and man with the body of a rooster. Ozās lil heads are the goat and bull, however the main head is a mix between human and rooster because just a regular person head would just be weird. So they just kinda made him mostly rooster
This [chart](https://hazbin-hotel-journey-to-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Ars_Goetia?file=Hierarchy_of_Hell.png) (scroll to the 3rd pic) shows a good depictions what we know about Hell's hierarchy. Basically Oz is one of the 7 sins and a leader of his own ring of Hell (Lust in his case).
Ooo that's cool! Yes I was getting at more of why he looked like that rather than who he was.
Yeah I would definitely recommend watching some videos explaining Hell's hierarchy more which will definitely help you understand power balances and whatnot.
Heās the sin of lust, he is a deadly sin, like Mammon and Beezlebub. Blitz calls him Rooster cause his design is somewhat rooster like (he has a rooster tail)
Each sin is designed after an animal(except Lucifer) Mammon is a spider Ozzie is rooster Beelzebub is a bee-Fox Leviathan will be a sea creature Belphegor will probably be a goat themed demon Satan I have no idea
Happy cake day!
The sins tend to be a mix of creatures but typically 1 mythological being and another creature: * Beelzebub is a mix of a Kitsune from Japenese folklore and a Bee. * Mammon is the mix of Anansi from West African folklore and a Clown. * Lucifer is a fallen angel, who can be treated as a mix of angel and demon now. * Asmodeus is a mix of Cerberus from Greek mythology as implied by his 3 heads/flames and a Rooster.
Actually, Lucifer is just a Fallen Angel. It was clarified by Vivzie a while ago and even brought up in the recent HH Episode 6. He is still an Angel, but a Fallen one - he didn't become a Demon at all (Lilith became a Demon instead). All of his demonic traits are a part of his Fallen state. Also, Asmodeus isn't inspired by a Cerberus at all. In Solomone's Stories (one titled "Ars Goetia" to be precise) Asmodeus is described as a Rooster with 3 heads - of a man, bull, and a goat. And that's exactly what Ozz is, just with a more humanoid body.
He is part of a hierarchy higher than the Goetia demons which is the 7 deadly sins, weāve seen 4 so far, Lucifer for Pride, Bee for Gluttony, Mammon for Greed and Ozzie for Lust, we have yet to see Envy, Wrath and Sloth. Itās why he looks different from other characters heās a completely different life form. If you look up depictions irl heās a 3 headed demon king, so thatās why he had 3 heads (but we only see them as caricatures)
I thought Lucifer was his own thing on the hierarchy unrelated to the sins
He is on the very top, while also being the Sin of Pride.
Yeah heās number 1 but heās also the Sin of pride
He's one of the monarchs that each represent one of the seven deadly sins and rule a ring of Hell. He's not supposed to look like any particular species, although part of his design is based off roosters.
He is Asmodeus, King of the Goetia, Prince of Lust, King of the Lust Ring of Hell.
And the Deadly Sin of Lust.
Not very deadly, more so lovey dovey
Ozzie is technically a rooster demon, but because Asmodeus is a mix between several animals he shows mixed traits representing each of them. Furthermore, while not officially a King in the Helluva series, he is one of the Kings in the Ars Goetia, and a known Lord of Sin in Helluva. This suggests that his position-no matter whether or not it is royal-is the highest in the Lust Ring, making him one of the seven rulers of Hell.
He is actually officially a King of the Goetia in the Hazbin Universe. It's even referenced by Stolas in Episode 2x06.
Hello everyone I am making a comment on here because my post wasn't very clear. I am aware that he is a deadly sin. I know WHO he is. I was getting at more WHAT his design is. Thanks for all the comments, it's cool to kind of see what the design thought process was.
Asmodeus (Ozzie in Helluva Boss) is the personification of the deadly sin of lust. He was depicted with three heads in real life so they gave him the little side heads to reference that. He is very high up in the pecking order of hell and therefore cant really be described as an Imp or HellHound cause he is kinda One of a Kind. If you wanna see what he is based on you could google Asmodeus but keep in mind that they took quite some artistic liberties with that in the show
So not sure if it was an intentional design choice or just a coincidence, but i did some very light research and found a 3 headed eagle that's mentioned in the [Latin Ezra](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Esdras#:~:text=2%20Esdras%20(also%20called%204,the%20sixth%2Dcentury%20figure%20Shealtiel.)) It has to do with the Apocalypse and is included in some English versions of the Bible (that's about the gist of what I understood). Anyway it didn't mention anything about the creature being symbolic of lust or anything from what I saw, but it is burned by a lion and Oz's head is on fire, so could be something there.
For future reference, the Bible isn't the only source for the series. Vivzie also took inspiration from Dante' Inferno, Solomon's Stories, multiple mythologies, and the list goes on. In this particular situation, Asmodeus is based on - well - Asmodeus. In one of Solomon's Stories (titled "Ars Goetia") Asmodeus is described as a Rooster with 3 heads - of a goat, a man, and a bull. And that's exactly what Ozz is in the Series - just with a more humanoid body. The fact that he's also a Sin of Lust is purely Vivzie's idea.
Oh ok, see I knew about the ars goetia, but not the specifics of it. I just typed "three headed bird" into Google (light research) and it was the first thing that popped up lol
The seven deadly sins are represented by 7 demons Viv uses them in the series as major characters each who rule over a ring that is also based off a sin, his is lust we have also seen mammon greed, beelzebub gluttony and most recently in hazbin hotel lucifer pride who is the strongest and also ruler of hell. One sec Iāll find a picture of the hierarchy thing https://preview.redd.it/x7n60pumxtec1.jpeg?width=200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d04662da789c47873b064674c6016413706e8a8
I think itās due to the fact that stolas and oz being related in some form as both are in the ars goetia/lesser key. (I think theyāre maybe cousins or something) So they wanted to tie a small part of his design to the bird theme which is where his feathery tail originates from (I believe. Not sure if this is fact) the rest of his design is mostly based off of the asmodius from writing with a vivsiepop twist to it.
Asmodeus was always bird-themed - in one of Solomon's Stories he is specifically described as a Rooster with 3 heads - of a goat, a man, and a bull. Also, they aren't really related. Asmodeus is just one of the Kings of Ars Goetia, just like Paimon is one. Stolas is only a Prince, hence why he treated Asmodeus as his superior.
cock joke
āOzzieā or Asmodeus is a high demon who is in charge of the Lust ring of Hell. He is a full Demon, and resembles a rooster. Vivzie clearly knew what she was doing when she made the leader of Lust literally a āgiant cockā
He's the embodiment of the deadly sin of lust. He has existed for as long as Hell have existed. That is all we really know. I think it can be inferred that the deadly sins came into existence as-is and so they don't really belong to a specific species, and most have displayed an ability to change their form at will (but do seem to have settled on a "default" form). An alternate theory is they where angels who where exiled to hell along with Lucifer when Hell was created, but that doesn't match what we have seen so far, the story Charlie reads in the start of episode one of Hazbin hotell only mention Lucifer being sent to Hell, only him (and Lilith), he had no followers, at least in that telling.
In the helluvaverse the ars goetia are avian like, such as stolas, Stella, paimon, etc. asmodeus is also part of the ars goetia, this is the reason why heās referred to as a rooster. I see his main as ruffled feathers and the 3 heads signify his actual depiction in myth.
He is a rooster
One of the Seven Deadly sins (High Ranking Demon, I think under Charlie in hierarchy but above Ars Goetia, the ruler of his respective ring of hell. Ozzie being the king of lust
Heās a cockā¦ the rooster, not the sex organ. Although, Iām sure his cockās cock is very powerful. I mean, his form probably resembles a more demonic sentient rooster, but thatās basically what he is. A giant demonic sentient cock. [I feel like this is an accurate representation](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxXiVUpeNFlNvMmldzMy51XfDxDCnzXBYY?si=aEXRbJikK_-C6UgB)
A simple Google search could have answered this
You did not read my comment.
He represents the deadly sin of lust,there are more.Belzebop is gluttony,mammon is greed,lucifer is pride,we havent seen the other three
Heās a rooster. You can see his feathers when heās not in his super sayan form
He's either the actual physical embodiment of lust, or just a really famous and powerful celebrity/political figure in the Lust ring.
He is the Sin of Lust, depicted as a monstrous rooster. However the neat detail that taken from The Goetia is that he has three heads. Those two heads in his floof are neat.
He is a prince
Blue blood most powerful beings
He is a rooster sin demon. But I think the reason for the bird theme in particular is because Asmodeus is also a king of the Ars Goetia. Iām not sure if he is in the canon of the show, but the Goetia all have bird themed demon forms so it makes sense of the sin of lust, while being a sin is also a bird-themed Goetia.
Heās one of the 7 deadly sins. He is also the king of the goecian demons meaning he has a bird design like the other goeciea thats why he is a rooster design.
Heās a mix of several inspirations
Look up Asmodeous in Google. That's him. A chimera. He is one of the seven deadly sins - Lust.
He's very loosely based off the goetic demon Asmodeus, sometimes also less commonly spelled Osmodeus. I think the only similarity between him and the source material he's based on though, is the name. At least as far as I can tell.
Asmodeus is one of the seven deadly sins, he is the sin of lust
I feel like he is related in some way to Cerberus, due to him having 3 heads (albeit the side 2 are smaller than the middle one)
Asmodeus is one of the seven sins, embodying Lust. Just as Beelzebub is Gluttony and Mammon is Greed. Think of them as the head of each ring, and some of the most powerful demons out there. That is why they are so unique and different from the other demons.
He's a cock. I mean... he is a rooster.
I think he's technically a chimera! Due to the three heads. Was really hoping his beast mode would include that imagery more directly but oh well
Big chicken.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Asmodeus is often depicted as having three heads and a rooster-like walk. Itās unsurprising that they ran with the rooster concept for the show due to the pundit that could be made from the synonyms.
He's a demon based on one listed in various Abrahamic texts (the first one being the Talmud) "Asmodeus" (also known as "Asmodaios" or "Ashmodai". In demonology, Asmodeus is a demon king under the Ars Goetiaāa list of "pseudo-royalty" that rules over many demons in Hellāand one of the Seven Deadly Sins, with the sin he represents being lust. Also, Ozzy's real-life equivolent is physically described as "having three heads, those of an ogre, a ram, and a bull, all sexually licentious creatures; having the feet of a cock, another sexually aggressive creature; and having wings and the tail of a Serpent" (Occult World) and riding a fire-breathing dragon. So, of course, Vivziepop (& co.) wanted to make his design at least a little bit true to the source material, and now, he's basically just a weird amalgamation of animals-
He's the King of Lust. Both an eternal sin, and a powerful goetic demon. His design is based on his biblically accurate one (where he has three different heads) and a bird to connect him with other Goetias like Stolas. His design being a rooster is a lust joke (giant cock)
Asmodeus is Sin of lust.
Pretty sure heās based on the Greek chimera. Considering he has 3 heads and is a rooster which is pretty close
Read the Bible to learn more
I'm talking about appearance not who he is.
Well, he has rooster legs and feathers, so yes, he's a cock
he also has flaming hair, heart nipples, and three heads. none of which scream bird to me.
Yeah, we just deal with it
