The Moosifer is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Moosifers are satyr-like demons, having the upper bodies of muscular red-skinned men and both sturdy lower bodies and curved horns of goats. They have purple beards and pointed ears, along with bat-like wings on their backs. When they first appeared, the moosifers' human bodies had purple skin and would turn pale when they became frightened and close to death's door. Their pale appearance would go on to be used for the Abullddon's colour scheme in some spinoff games, while moosifers adopted their red-skinned appearance. Moosifers have a variety of different spells in their repertoire, particularly ice and explosive spells, and often have the ability to breathe out fire. They have a propensity for becoming enraged and making violent charging attacks.
