So this thing isnt really satan?


Is it satan, pretending to be satan, or does it really believe its satan? I remember the professor explaining that it gains the knowledge of anything it eats and can take its shape. So did the creature eat satan?

SPOILER FOR BOOK!!!








It has been a while since I read the book but I remember that No it didn't eat the the devil. It ate a good deal of people, some of which were cruel, disturbed or downright evil. One of which was a heavy Satan worshiper who believed he was the devil, which in turn made the creature think that it was the devil.

It knew about it from the first dead deputy.

It wasn't the devil and it didn't think it was the devil, it just enjoyed toying with people through a medium that they would understand and fear.

It did also absorb the psychosis of people, so yeah, it was pretty disturbed.
