Visual Description
A horned, red-faced devil stands center frame with bat-like yellow wings, a blue furry body, and cloven red hooves. He holds a staff in one hand and a cluster of writhing serpents in the other, while a snake tail coils from his hip. Small human faces appear at his knees and on his torso, and a larger pale human face is embedded in his belly. Flames lick the ground around his feet beneath a sky dotted with stars and a crescent moon, and the Roman numeral XV crowns the top of the card.
