Historical Background

In Christian demonology (Late Medieval- Early Modern European), Vapula (also spelled Naphula) is a demon with the rank of Great Duke of Hell (not a Baron), commanding 36 legions of demons. Vapula often appears as a lion with griffin's wings (e.g. giant eagle's wings since that is where a griffin's wings derive from. See Hippogryphs for more information on Griffins). He is renowned to teach philosophy, mechanics, and other sciences to conjurers who call him. Vapula is 1 of 69 demons listed in the Pseudomonarchia Dæmonum and 1 of 72 listed in the Ars Goetia (the first section of the Lesser Key of Solomon).
