	In ''Dungeons & Dragons'', Baalzebul appears as a giant slug-like creature which trails feces and garbage wherever he goes. Flies crawl over his body at all times, and his arms are tiny and malformed. He also has a dark-skinned humanoid form with compound insect eyes, which is said to be his initial form prior to being transformed as a punishment by Asmodeus. Other media generally depicts Beelzebub as a demonic fly; in ''NetHack'', this is reflected by both his default tile as well as the fly-like shape of his lair. The encyclopedia entry comes from the novel ''[[wikipedia:Lord of the Flies\|Lord of the Flies]]'', named for Baalzebub.

 {{wikipedia|Beelzebub}}
-Baalzebub is borrowed from [[Dungeons and Dragons]] (which uses the spelling '''Baalzebul'''), and in turn is inspired by Christian demonology. Beelzebub was the name of a Philistine god formerly worshipped in Ekron, whose name was associated with the Canaanite god Baal; he was later adopted by some Abrahamic religions as a major demon. In some predominantly-Christian theological sources, Beelzebub is another name for Satan.
+Like the other demon rulers, Baalzebub is adapted from ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', which uses the spelling '''Baalzebul''' and is in turn inspired by Christian demonology.
-Baalzebub is known in demonology as one of the seven princes of Hell. The Dictionnaire Infernal describes Beelzebub as a being capable of flying, known as the "Lord of the Flyers", or the "Lord of the Flies". This is considered to be the result of mistranslating of the Hebrew ''Ba'alzevuv'' (Greek ''Beelzebub''), and as the encyclopedia entry hints, the name may have been mis-transliterated in turn.
