    Anime & Manga 
  • Devilman uses the Goetic designs for all its demons and explains why they look that way. The Goetia also provides the names of two demons, Caim and Amon (the later of which is the demon Akira fuses with to become Devilman).
  • In Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, Baul and Modeus are a pair of brothers from the Demon World. Their names are respectively derived in reference to Baal and Asmodeus.
  • Digimon has a 'mon named Murmuxmon, who appears as the villain of the Digimon Frontier movie.
  • Fairy Tail has Mirajane Strauss, a mage that uses Take-Over: Satan Soul to transform into demons. Two of her forms are named Halphas (Malthus) and Sitri.
    • In addition, an organization of dark guilds that the members of Fairy Tail and other legal guilds tangle with over the course of the series is called the Balam Alliance.
  • Gundam franchise:
    • Mobile Suit Victory Gundam started the trend with a mobile suit known as the Abigor.
    • Gundam X had the evil Frost brothers piloting the demonic-looking Gundams Virsago (Vassago) and Ashtaron (Astaroth).
    • Gundam SEED: The "Druggie trio" of Shanu Andras, Orga Sabnak and Clotho Buer are all likely references to Andras, Sabnock and Buer.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans: All of the Gundams are named after the 72 Demons, and their model numbers line up with the numbering from the Goetia. This list includes the Barbatos, Gusion, and Kimaris (first season), Astaroth, Vual, Dantalion (an odd case since it was shown on Try Age before appearing on the series proper), Gremory (manga side-story Steel Moon), Bael and Flauros (second season). The second season reveals that this was completely deliberate: since the human-slaughtering mobile armors were named for angels like "Hashmal", the machines designed to defeat them were named for demons.
    • SD Gundam G Generation introduced the Gundam Belphagor, which is said to be machine that the Virsago and Ashtaron from X were based on. Later games introduced Gundams that used the naming theme before Iron-Blooded Orphans came along, including Barbatos and Halphas (Malthus).
  • In High School D×D the main protagonist's master is a part of the Gremory household and is also a woman. Later on, the head master of Phenex and Baal also show up.
    • All 72 demons get name-dropped as the 72 pillars, the royal families of pureblood devils that rule the underworld. Although many of them were wiped out in the Great War, at least half are still around in one form or another.
  • Several characters in Shakugan no Shana are named after Goetic demons — Marchosias, Dantalion, Valac, etc., while the third season adds many more: Decarabia, Stolas, Purson, Uvall, Haborym, Orobas, and others.
  • Slayers borrows the symbols in the Ars Goetia to symbolize the higher level Mazoku.
    • Duke Eligos (15) is Dynast Grausherra, Prince/Prelate & Count/Earl Ipos (22) is Greater Beastmaster Zellas Metallium, Duke Bune (26) is Chaos Dragon Garv, Duke Astaroth (29) is Hellmaster Filbrizo, and Duke Vepar (42) is Deep Sea Dolphin.
  • Sword Art Online has PoH (short for "Prince of Hell"), whose real name is Vassago Casals. His mother gave that name to him as she despised giving birth to him.
  • Amon of Witch Hunter Robin. Not actually a demon, though.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! has a couple. "Versago the Destroyer" is a mangling of "Vassago"; more recent is "Gaap the Divine Soldier". Gaap made an appearance in the Big Bad's deck in Yu-Gi-Oh! R, which included Leraje, Caassimolar, and Botis as Cannon Fodder.
    • The card game also has the "Nouvelles" archetype, where each of the main six ritual monsters are combinations of a demon and a dish or cooking technique.
  • Adelicia from Rental Magica specializes in conjuring demons of Solomon. She even is the head of an organization called Ars Goetia.
  • Barring Ugo, all of the Djinn are named after the demons in Magi: Labyrinth of Magic.
  • In Future Diary, the right hand servant of Deus Ex Machina is named Murmur. She doesn't actually serve Deus, and even takes his crown towards the end of the series.
  • The six fists of the Hellas Kataphrakt in Aldnoah.Zero are named Botis, Marax, Ronové, Halphas, Räum, & Viné.
  • Purgatory Of Cartagra features a battle among seventy-two humans, each contracted to a different Goetic demon (with the protagonist contracted to Belial), for the right to bear the ring of Solomon and become omnipotent.
  • BUER (Base of Unearth Extra Resources) is a a giant boring machine equipped with a powerful laser in Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn. Its Central Nervous Unit takes the form a cute little Chivalrous Pervert of a robot who insistently calls himself "the philosopher of Hell". Like the Goetia's description of Buer, he has five goat legs and the head of a lion. (He walks on two legs, uses another two as his arms, and acts as if the fifth is his penis.)
  • In Future Card Buddyfight, one of the two main factions of Magic World are the 72 Pillars of Solomon, usually shortened to just the 72 Pillars. Tetsuya Kurodake uses them, along with his buddy Demon Lord, Asmodai.
  • The short-lived manga Samon the Summoner has Samon summon Glasya-Labolas right in the first chapter. Samon values him for his invisibility powers.
  • Stolas, the perverted penguin obsessed with Seiji's younger sister Aqua in Love Tyrant, is named after the demon king.
  • In Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun, almost every demonic family bloodline in the series has a surname taken from one of the 72 Goetic demons, ie. Alice Asmodeus and Clara Valac. The Ring of Solomon also plays a big part in the in-story mythology about the Demon King, with strong implications that the Ring of Gluttony stuck to Iruma's finger, which is gold, is actually said ring.
  • Magika Swordsman and Summoner: Summoners gain powers by forming contracts with supernatural beings, which include the demons of the Ars Goetia. Kazuki Hayashizaki ends up contracted with Lemegeton, the personification of Lesser Key of Solomon and leader of the Ars Goetia, in the form of a little girl.

    Comic Books 
  • Andras and Marchosias — two of the demons most associated with battle and manslaughter — start off the action in Promethea by being set up as hitmen by a conjuror who doesn't want the latest version of the title character to go on living. Later on, he somehow gets the entire retinue to possess someone. How he got some of the ones who definitely don't have possession/mind control/temptation in their repertoire, like Orobas and Haures, to do it is unknown.
  • Pre-Flashpoint, the demon Nebiros was responsible for the existence of two heroes. Blue Devil fought him while he was wearing a suit of devil-themed Powered Armor and got magically fused with it thanks to Nebiros' flames. Sebastian Faust lost his soul to Nebiros when his own father Felix sold it for arcane power. Nebiros messed with Felix by giving Sebastian the power instead.
  • Several demons from the Ars Goetia appear in Hellboy, with Astaroth in particular being a recurring antagonist.
  • Vampirella: Seventeen note  of the seven servants of Chaos are more or less (don't complain, the names in the original change too) named after their Ars Goetia counterparts.

    Fan Works 
  • Eligos is references in a short story written by Chloe Cerise in Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail. In The Midnight Car, Lexi, who based off his human form after a character Chloe made that was the son of Eligos, uses his papers to form a lance and even shapeshifts into a skeletal horse. One of the symbols of Eligos was a lance, and he's depicted as a ghastly white knight riding on a skeletal horse. Other chapters have her bring up Vine, Zagan, Ose, and Parker references a Pokémon version of Valac. Chloe even paints the seal of Marchosias for the scabbard of her donut holer, Cheshire and later obtains a cloak that can let her transform into him. According to Parker, Marchosias is her favorite demon.
    • In a later chapter, Chloe, Lexi and Atticus are tasked to find the Brass Vessel of King Solomon (supposedly the item that sealed the Ars Goetia demons away), and one puzzle in the Hidden Temple is to figure out which book in a crypt activates the door (which is the seal of Astaroth).

    Film 
  • The villain of The Conjuring 2 and The Nun is the demon Valak.
  • Paimon, Vepar, Procel, and Astaroth are invoked by Jonathan in Ghoulies.
  • The demon Paimon is the being that Ellen Leigh's cult worships in Hereditary.
  • The demon Naberius is the primary villain of I, Frankenstein.
  • The demon from The Last Exorcism is allegedly Abalam, who is identified as an assistant to Paimon in the Ars Goetia.
  • The cult from Last Shift worships Paimon.
  • In The Rite the demon Baal possesses Father Lucas.

    Literature 
  • The Devilblades of the Black Sun series are all named (and somewhat based) after Ars Goetia demons. So far, the only ones that have fully appeared are Astaroth, Forneus, Berith and Zagan, but it is confirmed that there are seventy-two of these weapons in existence and at least five of them are in the possession of the main protagonists.
  • The Bartimaeus Trilogy namedropped a few - all of them famous djinn in Solomon's ranks.
  • In Naamah's Kiss, the main character gets involved with a group of academics attempting to summon members of the Goetia, though they aren't explicitly called that, and ask them for various magical powers.
  • The Otherworld: Hell is ruled by various demon lords whose names are taken from the Goetia, including Balaam, Baal and Ashmondai. In turn, their day to day tasks are carried out by various dukes serving under them, some of whom are also from the Goetia, like Dantalion.
  • The Shadowhunter Chronicles series has the titular characters fighting against some demons named after those found in the Goetia, usually in passing, such as Raum, Shax, Malphas, Abaddon (who is a more major antagonist in City of Bones), and Marbas, to name a few.

    Tabletop Games 
  • In Ars Magica 5th Edition, the Goetic Arts (Summoning, Ablating, Binding, and Commanding) are infernal powers that allow their possessor to conjure and coerce demons and other spirits. Actually, Summoning can be associated with any realm (Magic, Faerie, even Divine!), the other three powers, however, are always Infernally aligned (although not everyone who has these powers necessarily knows that...)
  • Early editions of Dragonquest had lists of these demons and their game stats.
  • Delta Green has Impossible Landscapes, a campaign in which Agents can learn to summon the Ars Goetia demons, each of whom can grant a unique supernatural gift. They are perfectly ordinary people (including several children) being forced to play the role of a demon for the duration of the summoning and are all in thrall to the King In Yellow. Barbas and Bael play a particularly important during the campaign, the former being a compromised Delta Green who leads the player characters into a trap and gets them potentially burned and hunted down by the rest of DG due to being exposed to the King in Yellow and the latter is a director/stage manager of sorts in charge of the "play" the player characters are now an unwitting part of. And both Barbas and Bael have left running commentary scribbled on the ''Impossible Landscapes'' sourcebook. It's that kind of campaign.
  • Dungeons & Dragons:
    • From 1st Edition on, the Nine Hells of Baator have been ruled by Archdevils, many of whom take their names from the Ars Goetia. Most notable is Asmodeus as supreme ruler of the Nine, but books have also introduced Alocer, Bitru, Bael, Belial, Glasya (here presented as Asmodeus's daughter), Focalor, Caarcrinolaas (as a separate figure from Glasya), Chamo, Balan, Bathym, Agares, Barbatos, Abigor, Zepar, Bileth, Bifrons, Adrammelech, Buer, Buné, Morax, and Zagan (spelled as Zagum), among others. Many of these figures would also show up as vestiges in Tome of Magic, while Asmodeus himself was elevated to full deity status from 4th Edition on.
    • The 3.5 Source Book Tome of Magic has the "Binder" class that gains powers by binding vestiges with seals. In addition to being the base of the concept of the class, most of the vestiges (Ammon, Leraje, Naberius, Ronove, Malphas, Sabnock, Andromalius, Focalor, Paimon, Agares, Andras, Buer, Astaroth, Balam, Dantalion, Haures, Ipos, Shax, Zagan, Haagenti, Halphax, Eligor, Otiax, and Marchosias are used), along with their seals, are taken directly from Ars Goetia (another good portion are Continuity Nods like Acererak). The descriptions of the vestiges' manifestations don't always match perfectly with their descriptions in the Lesser Key of Solomon, though. For example, Zagan is described in the Lesser Key as an eagle-winged bull (well, gryphon-winged, but how does one tell the difference?), just like Haagenti, here an eagle-winged minotaur. In the Tome, he's a great yuan-ti priest who tried (and utterly failed) to achieve godhood, and manifests as a gigantic yuan-ti (i.e. a snake-man). Oddly in this instance, there is an unused Goetic demon, Botis, who manifests as a hideous viper...
    • 4th Edition has the Vestige Pact Warlock, who can bind Shax and Leraje as a Continuity Nod.
  • In Fabula Ultima, the Ars Goetia is one of the sample rare "arcane" weapons from the core rulebook. It's a two-handed book which deals light damage when used to whack enemies in melee, and it gives its wielder bonuses to various checks made against demons.
  • In Nomine uses some of the Ars Goetia's names for its Princes, although these do not usually retain the appearences and associations that they have in the original. For example, Andrealphus is the Prince of Lust instead of being associated with geometry and measuration, Furfur is the Prince of Hardcore instead of being a deer-like figure who creates and controls weather phenomena, and Haagenti is the Prince of Gluttony instead of being associated with the transmutation of substances. Two Goetic originals do appear with roles fitting their original writeups, however. Vapula, who teaches philosophy, mechanics, and sciences, is the Prince of Technology, while Valefor, who tempts people into thieving, is the Prince of Theft.
  • Mage: The Awakening features goetic demons, embodiments of a character's own Vice that can be given form in order to divest them of unsavory impulses... but that means there's a primal incarnation of Vice walking about. One Legacy, the Clavicularius, draws heavily upon the Ars Goetia and works to draw power from their Goetic demons while keeping them tightly bound. Another Legacy, the Bene Ashmedai, let their base instincts have a measure of free rein and gain power through excess. The latter legacy is a splinter faction of the former, and they tend not to get on well.
  • Pathfinder, like Dungeons & Dragons before it, features Asmodeus as an out-and-out god and ruler of the Nine Hells. Besides him, Barbatos and Belial appear as archdevils; Forcas/Furcas, Alocer, Bifrons, Crocell, Gaap, Haborym, Malthus, Ose, Sabnacke/Sabnach, Vapula, Zaebos, and Zepar appear as dukes of Hell; and Haagenti, Flauros, and Shax appear as demon lords.
  • Warhammer 40,000 has at least two daemons named after Ars Goetia: Mamon, a daemon prince of Nurgle, and the Nurgle daemon lord Scaibeithrax (aka Papa Ga'ap).

    Theatre 
  • Cross Road: Niccolo Paganini gains his musical talent in a contract with the Devil of Music, Amduscias, number 67 on the list.

    Video Games 
  • In the original Japanese version of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, Caulder is called Stolos—a variation of Stolas, an owl-demon (all right, or possibly a raven-demon, but other than Andras, the other birds aren't usually alternately owls).
  • Aquanox's ultimate enemies, the Old Ones, were variously named for Goetics, the two strongest being Crocell and Forneus (the latter being the first game's final boss).
  • Bayonetta has Malphas being one of the titular witch's summons in the form of a giant crow. The sequel adds Labolas (a demonic dog) and Baal (an oversized toad) to her arsenal.
  • The portable chapters of Castlevania such as Portrait of Ruin name many enemies after the Goetic demons, such as Vapula (a winged lion), Glasya-Labolas (a winged bulldog), Stolas (an owl monster), Buer (a fiery rotating wheel-thingy) and so on.
  • Castlevania's Spiritual Successor, the Bloodstained games, liberally include a lot of Goetian demons as part of the games' setting of demonic invasion.
    • Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon has Focalor, Valefor, Valac, Andrealphus, Bathin and Gremory being the names of some of the bosses. The sequel adds Vepar who's previously already a boss in the below-mentioned Ritual of the Night.
    • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night goes to town by having no fewer than twenty enemies named after Goetian demons, with appearances alluding to their original Goetian forms and then some. Not only we have lesser Goetian enemies, we also have a few Goetian bosses, and Gremory as well as Baal are key characters.
  • Two of the chest emblems available for your City of Heroes character's costume, specifically "Mystic1" and "Mystic2", are in fact the seals of, respectively, Gusion and Astaroth.
  • Devil May Cry:
  • The Random Name Generator in the Disgaea games seems to have at least some of the 72 demons listed in it.
  • Two of the Final Boss' Elite Four in Dragon Quest IV are named Aamon and Barbatos. In the remakes, Aamon becomes Dragon with an Agenda and becomes Superboss named Ashtaroth.
  • Drakengard has Seere (described as being neither good nor evil, but indifferent in the Ars Goetia, and also manifesting as a beautiful man...although riding a pegasus rather than a golem) and, arguably, Caim (another name for Camio, who somehow communicates with burning embers and allows one to converse with animals. Remember who Caim's synchronized with?).
    • In fact, this extends to nearly all of the characters. Leonard, Arioch, Verdeletnote , are all named after Demons, and Inuart is named after the leader of the infernal Angels, Iuvart. The prequel manga reveals Caim and Furiae's father's name: Gaap. Yeah.
  • Fittingly for a game inspired by the Satanic Panic, FAITH: The Unholy Trinity features a few names borrowed from the Ars Goetia. More specifically, the possessed girl that serves as the crux of the plot is named Amy, Malphas appears as a major antagonist, and Gary, the Big Bad, is all but stated to be Astaroth incarnated as a human.
  • Final Fantasy:
    • Final Fantasy III introduced a Non-Elemental giant named Glasya Labolas with high attack power. Other enemies of the same name throughout the series fit into the same mold of a giant with very strong physical attacks and no particular weaknesses.
    • In Final Fantasy VIII, the Guardian Force Doomtrain was originally named Glasya Labolas, and the monster Buel appears to be based on Buer.
    • Most of the Demon enemies in Final Fantasy XI who are given proper titles are named after demons in the Goetia.
    • As a direct example, in Final Fantasy X, the first summon that Yuna receives is named Valefor, though it only borrows the name and has little else to do with the original demon. Also, Buer is the name of a species of winged eyeballs.
    • In Final Fantasy XII, Buer is the name of a type of blue imp that appears in the Zertinan Caverns. Ose also appears as a Coeurl variant inside the Great Crystal.
    • Final Fantasy XIV has several. The Crystal Tower series of of raids, include Vassago, Amon, and Glasya Labolas. Bune, Ose, Forneus, Dantalion, Stolas, and Haagenti are also used as names for other bosses and mobs. In addition, a location of the Weeping City of Mhach is called "The Shrine of the Goetic" and Black Mages have Goetic Gear as their i200/210 armor.
  • The Fall from Heaven mod for Civilization IV includes a couple Ars Goetia references. Agares, as the Angel of Despair, is the Greater-Scope Villain behind all the ills in the world, and Flauros is one of the potential rulers of the Calabim. There's also a hero unit named Gibbon Goetia.
  • Genshin Impact has quite a few characters you meet named after the demons, with the main fairy being Paimon. The Archon of Mondstadt is known as Barbatos who values freedom, while one of the many names that the Archon of Liyue goes by is Morax. The first Archon of Inazuma was known as Baal while the current one is known only to a few as Beelzebul (Beelzebub). The Archons in Sumeru and Fontaine are also named Buer and Focalors respectively.
    • The other non-Archon gods also have this naming convention. There's Decarabian, Osial (for Ose and Belial), Andrius (for Andrias), Havria (for Havres, the feminine name of Flauros), Asmoday (for Asmodeus), and so on.
  • A later Big Bad in the Ghosts 'n Goblins series is named Nebiros, an alternate name of Naberius; the name Nebiros is also used for the final boss in Psikyo's Dragon Blaze. It's worth considering that the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum identified Naberius with none other than Kerberos.
    • Astaroth (with various alternate spellings) shows up as the penultimate boss of Super Ghouls n' Ghosts.
  • In Golden Sun, two of the Summon Spirits accessible in Lost Age are Zagan (early on) and Haures (much later on). They show up again in Dark Dawn, and rather appropriately, the Ancient Devil can summon Haures himself.
  • Andras, Marchosias, and Amon (and maybe Phenex; the question is whether the original bird Phoenix or the demon knock-off is meant) appear as Mooks in La-Mulana, with Buer appearing as a Mini-Boss.
  • In Guild Wars 2, Ars Goetia can be crafted, and is a component for the legendary weapon "The Binding of Ipos", itself a reference to the demon Ipos.
  • Some of Infernax's demonic bosses are named after the Ars Goetia demons, such as Paimon, Halphas, and Crocell.
  • In League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra, the demon that Swain uses is named Raum. Raum replaces his arm, conjures ravens, and tells Swain secrets gleaned from others.
  • The Ogre Battle series of video games uses this trope frequently, especially in Episode VII, where a large portion of the characters are named after Goetic demons (Barbatos, Andras, Haborym, etc.).
  • R-Type Final has a couple of ships named for Goetic demons, Andromalius and Dantalion. Dantalion is particularly appropriately named, since the thing was the beginning of ships that included Bydo tissue for more than the Force itself...
  • Realm of the Mad God includes Malphas as one of the higher-grade bosses.
  • Shadow Hearts: Covenant allows the player to equip demons' crests on party members to bestow them with magic. Asmodeus, Astaroth and Amon are all major figures, and a logic mini-game allows players to earn extra rewards by placing the demons of the Lesser Key into their proper places based on clues.
  • Lemegeton, once all four episodes are published, will feature appearances by all 72 demons.
  • SD Gundam G Generation World features Halphas (based on the spelling of Malthus) Gundam, and later "his" boss Barbatos.
  • RomancingSaGa3 has Sinistrals named after the Demons Alloces, Bune, and Forneus, it is hard to tell what Aunas is named after as his name does not appear in the Goetia.
  • Various members of the 72 Demons of Goetia appear as demons most of the Shin Megami Tensei games, almost always as part of the "Fallen" demon family. Some of the demons also appear as Personas.
    • While the franchise generally recreate the demons faithfully according to their source materials, it sometimes tampers with the mythos, such as portraying a couple of Goetic demons being friends when the original texts made no mention about the relationships among them.
      • The most famous pair is arguably Belial and Nebiros, caretakers of the recurring Creepy Child Dark Magical Girl Alice. In Shin Megami Tensei I, they sacrifice an entire freakin' town to resurrect her, and then keep them as zombies so that she isn't lonely. In some other games, they also become bosses just like her, often superbosses.
      • In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Forneus and Decarabia are depicted as friends. Perhaps because in SMT Forneus is a demonic ray and Decarabia is a starfish with an eye... In Persona 3 you even get a Fusion spell named Best Friends when the protagonist has both of them.
      • Another pair of Goetic demons occasionally seen together are Ose and Flauros, if perhaps they are the only clearly leopard-like demons among the bunch. Tellingly, these two are the only Goetian demons so far who have angelic, Gold and White Are Divine alternate forms as a nod to at least some Goetian demons being Fallen Angel.
    • The main villains of the spin-off Giten Megami Tensei are members of the Ars Goetia. They are separated in two groups, Datenshi and Futenshi. The former meaning "Fallen Angel" while the latter means "Non-Angel".
  • Barbatos Goetia from Tales of Destiny 2 is named not only after one of the demons, but the Ars Goetia itself. The game also features bosses named Buer, Vassago, Forneus, Sabnock, Ose, Vepar, Glasya-Labolas, Dantalion, Halphas, and Gaap.
  • A pretty fair number of Zafina's moves in Tekken are named for Goetic demons (and quite a few other mythical characters and weapons).
  • Being a Crossover Cosmology not unlike the aforementioned Shin Megami Tensei, Tokyo Afterschool Summoners has a few Goetian demons as playable characters: Bathym, Marchosias, Ose, Sitri, Astarot, Bael and Amducias.
  • Ronove and Gaap show up in Umineko: When They Cry, where their status as part of the 72 is regularly mentioned. As well as Zepar and Furfur., and a few of the Seven Stakes of Purgatory.
  • Wild ARMs also has quite a few enemies named for the Goetics. Although, for at least the first game, the less-than-admirable romanization can make things thorny (e.g. Ayperos is rendered as "Aipeloss").
  • A few bad guys in World of Warcraft take names from Goetics, including Naberius (a lich in the Outland), Murmur (a sound elemental), and Sabnok (a Scourge Mad Scientist).
  • The superpowered undead that Nessiah summons in Yggdra Union and Blaze Union have names taken from the 72.
  • Fire Emblem:
    • The most powerful Dark Magic tome in Fire Emblem: Awakening is called Goetia.
    • Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia has Forneus, an alchemist who created Grima, the main antagonist of the above entry, and the Risen. The DLC-exclusive Guru class (named Solomon in the Japanese version) has access to the white magic spell Lemegeton, which summons monsters to serve as temporary allies.
    • The protagonist of Fire Emblem: Three Houses is named Byleth by default. Hilariously, they can respond to one of the earliest dialogue prompts by saying "I'm a demon." Cindered Shadows reveals that their mother's name was Sitri. The ultimate mage class of the same game, exclusive to women, is the Gremory.
  • All of the Sovani weaponry in The Last Remnant are based off of the demons. They can also be upgraded to include Latin suffixes: Princeps, Rex, and Dominus- or High, King, and Lord.
  • In Tales of Vesperia Karol's fell arm is Glasya-Labolas. The Disc-One Final Boss is named Barbatos.
  • In the the Metroidvania roguelike Rogue Legacy, all minibosses are named after the 72.
  • The Greater-Scope Villain that the Starcraft II trilogy is building up to is named Amon.
  • All Humongous Mecha of the Shura in Super Robot Wars Compact 3 are named after Goetic demons, such as the Valefor, Agares, Glasyalabolas and Andras.
  • Xenogears features the Gaetia Key, a mistranslation of "Goetia Key" - a Doomsday Weapon wielded by one set of antagonists that converts humans into wels.
  • Many of the Unique Monsters in Xenoblade Chronicles 1 are named after Goetic demons, such as Wicked Sallos, Banquet Vassago, and Mischievous Naberius.
  • One of the antagonists of Xenoblade Chronicles X is named Goetia. There's also a model of Skell called the Amdusias.
  • Throughout Fate/Grand Order, the player fights several demons that seem to be named for ones from the Ars Goetia - particularly Flauros, Forneus, and Barbatos. Eventually, it turns out that they are amongst the ranks of the actual 72 demons, and answer to King Solomon, the true Big Bad of the game...or rather, Demon King Goetia, the Anthropomorphic Personification of the ritual that summons the demons itself that possessed the corpse of King Solomon.
  • Puzzle & Dragons has Belial, Amon, Astaroth and Baal along with Lucifer as part of the Archdemon series of the Rare Egg Machine.
  • Freespace names many Shivan capital ships after Goetic demons, in keeping with the Theme Naming of Shivan ships after demons and other supernatural entities from various religions.
  • Phantasy Star Online 2 has a number of planets named after Goetic demons, including the starting area Naverius (from Naberius; it's where Dark Falz Elder is sealed, fittingly enough) and the volcanic planet of Amduskia (from Amdusias), Dark Falz Luther heavily reflects the demon Stolas (Owl headed demon with a crown, teaches those who make a pact with him astronomy (Can stop time in his Dark Falz form), Minerology (Gems on his cape in Dark Falz Form that can be broken), and Herbology.
  • Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the main setting of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is the planet Halpha, derived from Halphas.
  • Pony Island has Buer as a well-hidden Daemon Process.
  • Panzer Paladin has Furfur as one of the bosses, who attacks you with spells cast from Instant Runes. In a nod to the book, he becomes vulnerable for a period if he casts a triangle rune, as a triangle rune was needed to bind him into speaking the truth.
  • Cult of the Lamb has severeal midbosses named after the demons (e.g. Barbatos, Gusion). Played with in that after defeating them you can indoctrinate them into your cult, even stripping them of their infernal names should you desire.
  • Amanda the Adventurer: The last secret tape contains audio of Rebecca Colton (Amanda's in-universe VA) being asked to recite some cutesy "test phrases" during a recording session that are actually phonetic incantations of Bael, Paimon and Balam. Rebecca then complains that "the man in [her] headphones" is telling her to do something that she doesn't want to do...
    Rebecca: Bye yell, bye yell, bye yell... Pie man, pie man, pie man... Baa lamb, baa lamb, ba-

    Web Comics 
  • Several characters in Floraverse are named after demons listed here, including Furfur, Beleth, Orobas, and Amdusias.

  • Stolas is a recurring character in Helluva Boss, being the one who provided I.M.P. with their means of traveling to the mortal realm (in exchange for sexual favors from a greatly annoyed Blitzo). Several other Goetia demons make appearances throughout the series as well.
