Decarabia: The Star-Pentagram Entity

Entity Identification: Decarabia

• Classification: Euclid
• Threat Level: 5
• Alignment: Neutral
• Origin: Ars Goetia / The Lesser Key of Solomon
• Rank: 69th Spirit / Marquis
• Category: Infernal Entity

Overview

Decarabia manifests primarily as a star-pentagram in its true, ethereal state. It is a high-ranking Marquis within the Goetic hierarchy, exhibiting a cold, detached intelligence that mirrors the indifferent laws of natural alchemy. Unlike entities that seek pacts for power, Decarabia’s interactions are governed by the pursuit of hidden knowledge regarding the physical world.

“He appears in the form of a Star in a Pentagram at first, but after, at the command of the exorcist, he putteth on the image of a Man.” — Liber Malorum

Abilities & Anomalous Properties

Decarabia functions as an informational bridge between the mundane world and the occult properties of biological and geological materials:

• Botanical/Zoological Insight: Possesses the ability to reveal the “virtues” of all birds. This is not merely biological study but an understanding of the metaphysical signatures of avian life.
• Geological Resonance: Capable of identifying the occult properties and energetic frequencies of precious stones.
• Thaumaturgical Simulation: Capable of animating swarms of flies, which act as semi-sentient drones for the conjurer. These are often described as metallic-hued, buzzing with a sound that interferes with standard recording equipment.

Behavioral Logic & Containment Protocols

[System Rule] When active, the entity must adhere to the following containment constraints:

1. Dimensional Tethering: Decarabia is bound by the fundamental laws of the Ars Goetia. Summoning or observation must occur within a stabilized Solomonic Circle to prevent the entity from shifting into its non-humanoid, geometric state.
2. Containment Radius: A 50-meter perimeter of silence is required. The entity’s affinity for insects creates a “biological feedback loop” that can destabilize local electronics within this range.
3. Observation: Researchers are advised to use polarized lenses when Decarabia assumes its star-pentagram form to prevent retinal damage caused by the entity’s non-Euclidean geometry.

Modern Anomaly Adaptation

In contemporary settings, Decarabia has been linked to unexplained “glitch” patterns in aerial surveillance footage, where swarms of insects form perfect geometric shapes that defy wind currents.

Research Note: There is growing evidence that Decarabia’s knowledge of “precious stones” extends to modern semiconductors and quartz-based circuitry. Future research should prioritize determining if the entity is capable of manipulating silicon-based memory structures.

Any researcher wishing to add to the Decarabia containment logs must first submit to a psychological evaluation to ensure their susceptibility to the entity’s “naturalistic indoctrination” is within acceptable parameters.
