Amduscias | Amdusias | Amdukias

Amdusias (also Amdukias or Ambduscias) a powerful Duke of hell has 29 legions of demons and spirits under his command and has the rank of great king. He is depicted as a human with claws instead of feet, the head of a unicorn, and a trumpet to symbolize his powerful voice. He appears in the form of a unicorn.

   He has a number of unusual and    bizarre abilities, most notably the ability  to make the summoner hear all kinds of  phantom musical instruments, and to  make trees bend in strange ways as per  the interests of the summoner. He also  is a good source of familiar spirits.

Amdusias is associated with thunder and it has been said that his voice is heard during storms. In other sources, he is accompanied by the sound of trumpets when he comes and will give concerts if commanded, but while all his types of musical instruments can be heard they cannot be seen. He is regarded as being the demon in charge of the cacophonous music that is played in Hell.

S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1904) quoted,"The Sixty-seventh Spirit is Amdusias, or Amdukias. He is a Duke Great and Strong, appearing at first like a Unicorn, but at the request of the Exorcist he standeth before him in Human Shape, causing Trumpets, and all manner of Musical Instruments to be heard, but not soon or immediately. 

Also he can cause Trees to bend and incline according to the Exorcist’s Will. He giveth Excellent Familiars. He governeth 29 Legions of Spirits. And his Seal is this, etc."

Johann Wier (1583) quoted,"Amduscias a great and a strong duke, he commeth foorth as an unicorne, when he standeth before his maister in humane shape, being commanded, he easilie bringeth to passe, that trumpets and all musicall instruments may be heard and not seene, and also that trees shall bend and incline, according to the conjurors will, he is excellent among familiars, and hath nine and twentie legions."
