THEIR TONGUES ARE DOUSED IN LIES
This is the list of specific demons acceptable for summoning at Hogwarts and around the wizarding world! Other demons, if approved by us (And that fall into the list of species posted below this post) may be summoned as well. Be wary in what you summon though, the Ministry will not take kindly to forbidden demons being summoned!
⇢ Amon
Is a Marquis of Hell. He is the seventh of the 72 Goetic demons who governs forty infernal legions. He appears as a wolf with a snake's tail who can breathe fire, or as a man with dog's teeth who is situated inside of a raven, or as a raven-headed man. Collin de Plancy took the artistic liberty of compressing Amon's two forms into one with the head of a dog-teethed raven, the body of a wolf, and a snake tail in place of its back legs. At the command of a mage, Amon may take the shape of man with a raven's head, having teeth of a canine. He tells of all things past and future. He procures love and reconciles controversies between friends and foes. (Note: While he does speak of the past and future, he does not always answer with anything even remotely useful. In fact, unless your intentions are pure, he finds it rather delightful to give out useless information. Not the guy to go for when you want blackmail on someone. He is sometimes seen as a friend to seers, due to his ability to talk of the future.)
⇢ Abezethibou
Or Abezethibod, is a demon and fallen angel described in the pseudepigraph Testament of Solomon. He followed Beelzebub upon his fall from heaven, and became an important demon in hell. However, after his treason, he is left with one red wing. He later travelled to Egypt where he hardened the heart of pharaoh and his advisors, and convinced them to pursue the fleeing Israelite slaves. In doing so, he drowns along with the army in the Red Sea, and become trapped in a pillar of water, though Beelzebub claims he will return for conquest. (Forbidden by the Demonology department of the MOM.)
⇢ Aeshma
(Aēšma) is the Younger Avestan name of Zoroastrianism's demon of "wrath." As a hypostatic entity, Aeshma is variously interpreted as "wrath," "rage," and "fury." His standard epithet is "of the bloody mace." (Highly unpredictable, skilled summoners only, never summon alone.)
⇢ Agares
[/b]
Is a Duke ruling the eastern zone of Hell, and being served by 31 legions of demons. He can make runaways come back, and those who run stand still. He can also cause earthquakes and teaches languages, finding pleasure in teaching immoral expressions. He also has the power to destroy dignities, both temporal and supernatural.

He is also described as being the presiding spirit of the planet Saturn, with Zazel.
⇢
Aka ManahIs the Avestan language name of Zoroastrianism's demon of the "evil mind" or "evil purpose" or "evil thinking" or "evil intention". Aka Manah is the hypostatic abstraction of accusative akem manah (akәm manah), "manah made evil". Here, manah denotes a state of mind, and akem manah may then be described as the state of mind (or being) that prevents an individual from accomplishing his (moral) duties. The objectification of this malign influence is the demon (daeva) Aka/Akem Manah, who appears in later texts as Middle Persian Akoman and New Persian Akvan. (Forbidden for all wizards (especially students) to summon since it was theorized by the MOM that this demon may have had a play in the first wizarding war.)
⇢
Allocer[/b]
Also spelled Alocer or Alloces, is a demon whose title is Great Duke of Hell, and who has thirty-six legions of demons under his command.

⇢

He is depicted as a human with claws instead of hands and feet, the head of a unicorn, and a trumpet to symbolize his powerful voice. According to other sources, this demon is depicted as a unicorn, and changes into a man under the request of the conjurer. 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 can't be seen. He is regarded as being the demon in charge of the cacophonous music that is played in Hell. He can make trees bend at will.

He was also responsible for sowing discord, and commanded 30 infernal legions. He is the 63rd of the 72 spirits of Solomon. Andras was considered to be a highly dangerous demon, who could kill the conjuring magician and his assistants if precautions were not taken. A misstep outside the magical protective circle could mean instant death for the conjurer(s), and Andras was always trying to lure them out. (Forbidden by the MOM Demonology department for all summons.)

He rides a pale horse, and all kind of music is heard before him, according to most authors on demonology and the most known grimoires. When appearing he looks very fierce to frighten the conjurer or to see if he is courageous. The conjurer must be brave, and holding a hazel wand in his hand must draw a triangle by striking towards the South, East, and upwards, then commanding Beleth into it by means of some conjurations. If he does not obey, the conjurer must rehearse all threatens the conjurations said and then Beleth will obey and do all what he is commanded. But the conjurer must be respectful and do homage unto Beleth due to his rank, and hold a silver ring in the middle finger of the left hand against his face, as it is the use of hellish kings and princes before Amaymon. Beleth gives all the love of men and women he is commanded until the conjurer is satisfied. (Forbbiden for students to summon; for skilled summoners only.)

Although the etymology of his name is uncertain, curiously there was an ancient city named "Buer" (now Gelsenkirchen) in Westphalia, Germany. (While he is seen as as benificial, under no circumstances should you take him for granted. He is very powerful, and though he is slow to anger, invoking his wrath could be catastrophic. Forbidden for students to summon, for skilled summoners only.)
⇢
Bushyasta Is the Zoroastrian demon of "Sloth". Her stock epithet is "the long-handed." In scripture as well as in later tradition, Bushyasta is the hypostasis of laziness and idleness.

He is depicted in 19th and 20th century occultist illustrations as appearing in the form of the black bird called a thrush, but soon he changes his shape into a man that has a sharp sword in his hand. When answering questions he seems to stand on burning ashes or coals. The title 'président' of Hell would suggest a parallel with the presiding officer of a college or convocation, which are the only pre-modern uses of the term. Other wizards consider Caim a 'Prince' of Hell instead and depict him as a man wearing rich and elegant clothes, and the head and wings of a blackbird. (Skilled summoners only.)
