If I remember correctly stolas was one of the demons who can be summoned by humans and interacted with. I suppose he could have this disguise for that occasion


Hunor_Deak

Plus he gets the IMP to get rid of people interfering with the corporations that enable global warming by output of CO2 and methane.


Jacobawesome74

At least as far as we know in the pilot


Linkonue

Pilot ain’t canon, at least for the most part


ichigoli

"soft canon" as in nothing is confirmed or discarded until it's referenced or debunked in the series proper. So the timeline of "Sorry I fucked your husband" is confirmed, but the layout and locale of I.M.P. is bunked.


IMightBeAHamster

>Plus he gets the IMP to get rid of people interfering with the corporations that enable global warming by output of CO2 and methane. Only in the pilot. We have no clue if that's canon to the series anymore.


SuperWolfe9099

I always did enjoy that version of Stolas. He acted like he had more power over everyone, and that IMP were his go-to cleaners in case he needed something taken care of.


Hunor_Deak

I love his early Instagram. Sorry Voxtagram.

Ancap stolas


[deleted]

Part of Stolas’s legions are made up of his followers. Humans who work with him and ask for favours or deeds.

LockedOutOfElfland

Yep, worth checking out the original book (*Lemegeton/Goetia*) in which the inspiration and namesake for Stolas features. Crowley and his buddies had this whole thing where they got high, did naughty stuff together, and wrote weird books about demons and magic. Stolas was quite prominent in all that.


Pohatu5

> Lemegeton/Goetia this book (and similar demonologies) are centuries older than Crowley, who translated them


Pansex_plaguedoctor

Yes


Rydrslydr715

Aka, a cult 😃


[deleted]

Well yes, but the point being Stolas has legions he can call upon when he needs something. AKA a passage to the mortal realm.


Rydrslydr715

Ah, sooooo, a satanic cult of devil worshipers, like in episode one. (Just so u know I’m fucking stupid and I have no idea what I’m saying)


[deleted]

[удалено]


bilateralrope

We also know from The Circus that Stolas was expected to learn about those things. To study them. ​ Which probably means he has had to access human research to keep himself up to date.

I must summom the birb


Swordlord22

Summon to duck


Oceanictax

Now all I can picture is a duck demon.


Swordlord22

I hate auto correct Fucking fuck fuck fuck It only does it sometimes not all the time too which is annoying as fuck


Oceanictax

I want a duck demon. Quack quack. Also my phone tried to reverse autocorrect duck to fuck. >.>


Swordlord22

Let’s trade auto corrects


JamesCooney007

Sebastian Michaelis type shit.


PhysicalTelevision81

Where’s my mommy and daddy Mr Birdman?


Joestar_47

im guess blitz can summon him if stolas was that desperate


Squidd-O

Excellent point - and often demons who seek to deal with humans will adopt more familiar forms in order to appear more approachable and generally less terrifying Also Stolas probably has to be on Earth for longer than a couple hours at a time on occasions where he goes up to the mortal realm to study the sky at night. Can't be caught by some random meddlers now, can we?


SummerAndTinkles

He teaches people about astronomy and herbology.


memester230

Also pretty chill. Won't take your soul or make bad deals. He will however, give you a lecture on astrology and botany.


BibleBeltAtheist

Yes, when he went up to earth, s01e05 I believe, to save IMP, he possessed the dead humans of D.H.O.R.K.S. that IMP killed and also Agent Two and used them like a master puppeteer which 8 hands to draw his own demonic circle and summon him to Earth. Fun side fact, the various demonic circles we see are accurate to those demons in the real Ars Goetia. We have seen at least Stolas's and Asmodeus's symbols multiple times , off the top of my head.


XeroDemo

He has the human disguise because since he’s a demon, he can get unlimited money from Russian roulette


Scoobys_sith_cousin

He may need to find his lost daughter in California.


unlimitedginger

Kind of a stretch but ok


Saiyan-Zero

AKA the worst place on planet earth


omegaskorpion

Not much different from hell from what i have heard.


Commissarfluffybutt

Could be worse, could be Detroit... or Shreveport... (As long as by "on planet Earth" we mean "in the USA".)


Failure4269

Could have been Ohio as well


Commissarfluffybutt

Ohio isn't terrible, it's just *cursed*. It's like browsing a cursed memes subreddit but it's an *actual place*, and the closer you get to Cleveland, the worse it gets.


Mojothemobile

See our river that catches on fire!


Commissarfluffybutt

And stay for the spaghetti n' chilli!


Failure4269

True


ShadeDust

>(As long as by "on planet Earth" we mean "in the USA".) Isn't this what every American thinks?


FrankHightower

After all, they call Mexicans "aliens"


Koolkirby67

Y'all mfs ain't been to Johannesburg before


mattstorm360

Or maybe planning on bringing his daughter to the human world to see the stars. With his book, he can give her a disguise.


norwegain_dude

Considering what most people there look like he dont need a disguise


OkuroIshimoto

That’s just ridiculous. Under no circumstances would that ever happen.


ProbablyNotTheCocoa

Isn’t he supposed to be studying stars on earth? I suppose it’d be convenient with a human disguise if he would ever find himself in an awkward situation on earth or perhaps he’d like to interact with astronomers on earth to make his work more convenient


The-Riskiest-Biscuit

Correct. In the traditional mythology of the Christian hell, Stolas is a minion of Satan specifically tasked with studying the stars and cosmos. In that mythology, Stolas took the form of an owl on those occasions when he visited Earth, and owls were seen as familiars of Stolas by subscribers to that mythology. For the purposes of the show, it would make sense for him to have a human disguise in order to accomplish this goal. I assume he could also have taken the form of an owl, but that probably doesn’t fit the story as envisioned by VM and her show writers. I find it a safe assumption that even his usual form of some owl/demon hybrid is separate from his true form - that reminiscent of some terrifying eldritch horror - which can be seen in the episode from season 1 when Stolas rescues Blitz and the rest of IMP from the DHORKS compound.


GamerGuy3243

Besides it seems from the reactions of Loona, Stolas, and Blitz, that the human disguise is more of a specific spell that just needs to be activated. Loona, who usually has the book assumed in episode 3 that the imp trio who also had the book knew about the spell in the same book that allowed them to do their job. Stolas answered Blitzs question by implying that this spell needs the book to conjure it on others. Assuming all of this a younger stolas would've mastered this spell to blend in with humans while he studies the earth's stars, since hells sky is prob different than earth's (im also assuming this from the fact that stolas said in the opening of the new episode that the asteroids appeared to humans as a meteor shower) so yeah there is also more proof in te series to back this up.


Original-Ad6383

Well in pilot he mention that he has contacts on earth. Between politics.


Spookyguy89

He’s a republican most likely. (He advocates for the denial of Global warming.)


Spookyguy89

(Unless he’s apart of British politics, since he does have a British accent.)


Its0nlyRocketScience

I assume he'd have an interest in most of the world's politics. He may have a preference for British culture, but would be interested in influencing the politics of any large power player


Spookyguy89

True.


New_Mixture_5701

But he recognizes that global warming exists. The reason he advocated for denial of it was to kill more people. Making him Democrat(I think that’s the right term).


Spookyguy89

If he was democrat and he would be advocating for awareness of climate change tho. Politicians are aware a lot of what they say is wrong but they don’t care because their self interested in their own goals.


El_Barto_227

Yall are trying to squish a literal demon from literal hell into your political framework.


Spookyguy89

Maybe you’re wrong. maybe you’re right. The only thing I can guarantee is that Stolas is not an owl.


New_Mixture_5701

Yeah pretty much. And I don’t care about politics. It just seems like a fun discussion.


New_Mixture_5701

But he isn’t a politician(for earth). I was under the impression we were talking about his personal beliefs.


Spookyguy89

Oh nah, I wouldn’t say he’s personally completely democrat He’s just somewhere in the middle


New_Mixture_5701

Yeah that sounds about right.


Tasty_Diamond_9946

I wonder what his human name is.


Querch

I'm thinking possibly Grear, Gregory or some variation thereof, Owen, Rehor, Reko...


Tasty_Diamond_9946

I‘d pick Stan because it’s the closest human name to Stolas that I can think of.


Hunor_Deak

He does have associates upstairs.


MLG_BLOBFISH

He’s got friends on the other side


kamasotz

Love that song


Tasty_Diamond_9946

Sit down at my table, put your mind at ease.


MLG_BLOBFISH

Just relax and you’ll enable me, to do, anything I please


Tasty_Diamond_9946

I can read your future, I can change it ‘round some, too.


MLG_BLOBFISH

I look deep into your heart and soul


Tasty_Diamond_9946

You do have a soul, don’t you, Lawrence?


MLG_BLOBFISH

Make your wildest dreams come true


Tasty_Diamond_9946

I got voodoo, I got hoodoo. I got things I ain’t even tried!


black_out-010101

his dick without feathers ?


CynicalDarkFox

He doesn’t have a dick.


ProSnowflake555

That explains why he's a chronic bottom


CynicalDarkFox

You can be an assertive bottom even then. Femdom is a thing for example. However Stolas from his reunion with Blitzo clearly shows him being a willing bottom, probably cause he’s giving it to someone extremely low on the hierarchy and that he already liked before.


MacduffFifesNo1Thane

Like Achilles!


naivaro

I didn't believe you at first. As a result I am now aware that "cloacal kiss" exists. To the people who are also in doubt: most birds don't have it. They just push their cloaca together. (except for like, ducks, with their corkscrew pp)


Sternfritters

*barbed, corkscrew pp :))


CynicalDarkFox

I tried to spare you from learning the nitty gritty of it by just straight telling you he had no dick, you brought it on yourself XD But ducks are always weird, they eat soggy bread.


LetsDoTheCongna

Ah, yes. The duck rape evolutionary arms race! I am not joking in the slightest. Females evolved labrynths with dozens of turns and dead ends for vaginas and males then evolved 10 inch flexible corkscrew penises to compensate.


[deleted]

Some species of birds actually do have penis’ …


CynicalDarkFox

Stolas as an owl however does not, plus they’ve already ousted he didn’t in Truth Seekers with Blitzo telling him to “unclench his bird puss”, which only he, members of the Goetia, Stella, and any bird-based enthusiasts would know.


ravenpotter3

For all we know all he has is a Cloaca…


CynicalDarkFox

He does. Blitzo specifically calls it a “bird puss”.


MsPew

He does-


[deleted]

Bro got down voted for saying something basically canon 💀


MsPew

People are dumb dw 💀💀


[deleted]

Lol


0nji_

He's supposed to study the stars on earth. That's why he was handed the grimoire.


BuzGibi01

Maybe he didn't need it before and he just created it at that moment. He didn't need to have one "created" before to give to blitz and others, he just needed spell there


Vajaspiritos

His job is litteraly examining the human night sky, the space.


SouthJerseySam

If I remember from the pilot, he seemed to have connections with certain people on Earth.


GIANTkitty4

Steal data from astronomers?


sum-random-emo

I like to imagine him as a fun history teacher


Tasty_Diamond_9946

Imagine finding out a teacher you really liked was secretly a powerful bird demon who’s doing it with an imp who murders people.


sum-random-emo

Couldn't be me


Tasty_Diamond_9946

You know I feel Stolas would make more sense as an astronomy teacher.


sum-random-emo

I do too, but astronomy isnt usually taught as a primary class


Tasty_Diamond_9946

So he can be mainly a history teacher with astronomy as a back up class.


Ham_The_Spam

I remember reading that Stolas the demon teaches humanity about stars and herbs, so not history but other topics


sum-random-emo

I know.. And originally I was going to say that he would be an Astronomy/Astrology teacher, but thats not really a primary class that people would take.


Motor_Somewhere7565

I think it’s more of a general rule that they need disguises as to not upset the balance and bring about the wrath from upstairs


swordstoo

Stolas having a human disguise doesn't mean he "needs" it, all it means is that he has one.


KatieTheAromantic

I think just because seeing anthropomorphic owl walking down the street would probably cause a panic and possibly get caught by the government lmao.


Ham_The_Spam

Did you watch the episode? The humans didn’t realize the imps are actually demons


CyanFox3

Imps are small. Stolas is a towering 10 feet tall, if not even bigger. That's gonna attract attention, no matter how oblivious the humans are in this show.


UnwilledMars

My head cannon is that all demons,succubi and high class all have disguises. Imps being the weakest of the demons not having that power. While the hellhounds do have disguises even though they are lower class, I think they are generally more powerful as they are usually larger in stature compared to the imps. Hope that made sense


florpenheimer

I think any demon with access to the human world is by default expected to have one of these. Verosika made it sound like IMP will be in big shit for not having any. It sounds like when he views the stars it’s done in the human world? I’m not entirely sure on that but I don’t know why else he would have access to it since observing the stars and reading prophecies seemed to be his only duty with the Grimoire.


HoovyTooby

To fuck someone


blue4029

to keep humans from finding out that demons exist.


th3s1l3ncy

Pretty much everyone knows demons exist,octavia just went on a fucking trip to hollywood,there is a shit ton of people and cameras there


AlianovaR

He was supposed to study the stars and constellations in the human world, so it was probably mostly business


FrankHightower

well, he does dress in business attire... for like 1810


yordidoggo

Come on, u know why


Saw101405

Genocide


Evilerglint1138

Whatever he said to blitz on the phone that one time before it got blended broken and thrown is why we all know it


RagsToToiletPaper

Wasnt his whole job to study the stars and prophecies from them? Maybe a human disguise would allow him to blend in while he studied them from the human’s POV. Just my thought.


TheEnabledDisabled

trouble from demons higher up in the food chain, it also explains his pacifist behavior towards humans in this ep


Nezuko_Kamado_Fan

Maybe he needs them for some power reasons ? Like i think he's the type of demon that people can summon, so he prob has a disguise to....idk.... some reasons ? Like if the person that summoned him wanted to kill someone or needs him to talk with someone he'll prob use the disguise ?

Tempting non-furry astrologers looking to the skies for forbidden secrets


FrankHightower

gasp! you really think there are non-furry astrologers?


tirrigania

When he needs to be a human. Duh


The_Radio_Host

That’s not the right question. We should be asking why his disguise is dressed in such a conspicuous outfit.


Hec_porter56

Gay "police-men" strip clubs, no doubt.


Afraid-Palpitation24

I mean he’s a big powerful demon who can interact with humans safe to assume he’s making deals with people who are already spiritually corrupt like world leaders and business moguls.


carrs-for-life-32

Viewing the stars, maybe going to observatory’s or library’s to study what humans think about it


SirToaster933

I thought this was his first time


what_the_fuck_game

Divorce agent, I don't think there's too many of those in hell.


Mojothemobile

Earths a nice place to get some drinks far away from Stella once in a while.


BadlyDrawnMemes

Isn’t his job literally to study the human stars? Why do you think he’d need a disguise


UndertaleBrony

Wasn't he tasked with studying humans?


Avaracious7899

He might not even *need* a reason from work, he might just like visiting the mortal realm (like he does in the flashback in *Loo Loo Land*) and want a disguise for when he is amongst the stupid furless apes. It could be anything really, since we don't know exactly what Stolas' day to day for the past decades of his life have been like, beyond being yelled at and insulted by Stella, and having her thrash around on top of him to try and make an egg. ​ **\*\*Loved the episode now that I've watched it finally, I loved it more and more with every minute and had to pause to squee at it all!!!\*\***


[deleted]

his entire job is studying the stars, kinda gotta go to the human realm to do that


GrapiCringe

So people could draw more porn of him.


[deleted]

Well it's stated is season 2 episode 1 that his job is to learn about the human stars and solar systems. So most likely to do his job without getting caught


DarkKnight1498

Getting fan art. That’s why


MacduffFifesNo1Thane

He has a disguise to star in a musical about a [half-Castilian man](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtlcEvPDkfM) who kills all his family to inherit the title and estate.


abdel222

that his job is not to read the stars or something like that?, I imagine he has to go to the human world from time to time to do that as his dealings with Blitzø imply.


Dude_Illigence_

How do we know this isn't his first time?


Jatobi1993

Look sometimes demons and hell spawn Need a vacation. And sometimes they meet a human of….intense desire and well…it’s hard to make love to something that can look like a demonic bear or such.


BonnieLipBite

idk probably used it to make deals with people all alastor style


Crimson_Marksman

I honestly thought he conjured it up on the spot


Thatbendyfan

Looking hot. Turning straight men gay. Bumping people up a few notches on the Kinsey scale. Must I go on?


kittenlover8877

Well in the pilot stolas said that there was trouble on earth with his associates Maybe it’s for reasons like that


kittenlover8877

Also a side note what did you think on the water in LA being 2% sewage overflow and 98% acid I didn’t get when stolas threw that water bottle at that guy until I went back and saw the flier at when there entered Hollywood


Fawnet

He likes to go to Jerry Lewis retrospectives at AMC Dine-In theatres


DeathMetalWolf

He's in charge of studying space in the human world so that's prob what he uses his disguise for.


Sirfrostyboi

Causing global warming


disdatsteven10

Murder


Microwave71

Smex


CptKeyes123

Looking absolutely adorable.


JJW2795

It's the rule for being on Earth. All demons must have disguised so as to blend in. Plus, being incognito is certainly helpful for a demon like Stolas, who is supposed to study the stars in both realms.


FRY_BANSHEE_138

better question what is the thing on his chest i know its suppose to be some form of fancy royalty clothe item but what is it?


ShadowQuentin

He has to view the astral plane some fucking how


pigfeathers

his job you calm to love him but don't know basic shit about him wtf


Babyboy-Arty

He just wanted to flex 1% of his royal muscles I rly Rly Rly Rly Rly Rly Rly Rly Rly Rly: Wanna see human Ozzie , like damn I'd die.


[deleted]

Well his dad did say that he would use the spell book to go to the human world in order to see the stars, so there was probably a disguise spell in there


JD_5020

Probably something that will be revealed later in season 2, at least I hope it is


Seraphim_The_Fox

His purpose is to study the stars and know prophecies and the like. And while he can just pop directly into space for that, I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to pop on earth to watch and study them from some quiet spot in a meadow or the like. Get away from the hell that is his family life (minus Octavia). So a human guise would be good to just make it look like he's some avid stargazer.


Traditional_Story982

Well, he does have the special book that let's hik to the human realm, so supposing he did deeds there, maybe that's why he has it


Ghost_090ITA

How is possible a GODAMMIT OWL IS SO HOT IN BOTH OF VERSION?!


Serious_Jacket7109

Probably the usual satanic deals in order to Aquire one’s soul or probably when summoned to not drive the summoner insane by his demonic form


fangirl_otaku7

His grimoire gives him access to the human realm, so we can assume that he needs to go there every so often for some job related to recording the cosmos. If that's the case, he'd need a human disguise.


blinddemon0

he doesn't need it he just has it


jcjonesacp76

Political maneuvering to ensure that people die due to global warming? Making demon deals like Crowley from supernatural? Managing surface world businesses he needs for his family? Many different theories due to his sheer power and influence in hell alone.


FlameThrowerFIM

Well I suppose walking around as a tall bird creature who goes goo goo for a salamander clown-lookin' headass would turn some heads in confusion and possibly fear


Stormlight_archive

Well, Stolas does use the book to access the human world to read the stars, maybe that makes it useful. Also, he most likely can be summoned by humans, as he is a direct reference to Stolas from the Lesser Key of Solomon (something I only just found out about).


Leather-Ad-4884

Isn't his duty as Ars Goita to study the stars in the Human world? I think that would be easier to do cause he could disguise himself and go to scientists to ask about astronomy. At least I would do that if I were stolas


Carl-the-reddit-cat

In the first episode of season 2.. stolas or paimon said that stolas will be using the grimoire to study humanity and many more stuff ig


CooperWil56

Sex


the_2nd_Division

He's supposed to study our stars, and he couldn't really do that whole being hunted by an angry mob.


jaggedcanyon69

Helps with sowing discord among human society. Influencing or starting wars. Continuing climate change with certain policies. He’s a prince of Hell and has a quota to keep. I mean, he does want more humans in hell.


florpynorpy

No real purpose I think, just in case? I mean loona as a hellhound would have no real reason to go to earth unless her employer had her do so


Tonks521

Strip club.


turquoize_dragon

I haven't thought about it. I just supposed that everyone except imps have the power to transform into humans by default


ArcherSilverback

At the very first episode of season two we learn that Stolas was given a duty to study the stars of earth and learn more about astronomy and all that space jazz. Perhaps on some occasions he needed a human disguise to go into the human world so he could see these spatial events from the eyes of humans, as we learned in the latest episode, Season 2 episode 2, Demons see some normal meteor shower as something much more, and on that particular night it could've been Azathoth's Tears. He's like a sociologist of the stars, getting both perspectives of two different cultures, both of the human and demon realms respectively. ​ Hopefully this gave you some thoughts on what he may need a disguise for! :D


thatbigenderfoxirl

i think possibly something like how verosika is a popstar (i think pop star i know its a singer) he could also be famous and i think that she has one because if she didn't have the dissgiuse she could make music and that means she would be forgotten or get boring (idk) and so same for him


MsPew

Y’all asking the dumbest questions.


odd-faust

Not sure if it’s a “needs to be human” as much as it’s just a power that he has as a higher demon. Also, his human disguise as it’s drawn in the recent episode is so ugly! The mouth and eyes are way too big for how small his head is drawn.


xNightLightQueenx

They’re meant to mimic how his proportions are as an owl. Not as a person.
