Etymology

Pickeerer's name in Japanese, Valac, is one of the 72 demons listed in the Ars Goetia, taken from the Lesser Key of Solomon, a grimoire on demonology. In some demonology books, he is known alternatively as Ualac or Volach. Valac is described as a mighty president of Hell who has thirty legions of demons under his command. He gives true answers about hidden treasures, reveals where serpents can be seen, and delivers them harmless to the summoner. Valac appears as a small boy with angelic wings riding on the back of a two-headed dragon.
