Parvabub

Parvabubs are a type of hellspawn within the novel ''Dark Blaze. ''They are creatures, once human, who had sold their souls to the rex daemon, Beezlebub, who had transformed them into his own physical agents on Earth to collect souls for him through the devouring of their victims hearts.

The parvabubs are mindless slaves to Beezlebub and are granted certain powers by him, and are also followed by a swarm of flies, Beelzebub's favourite insect.
