What animal is symbolic of satan/the devil?

Answer 1

goat

Answer 2

You mean the masters of all devils ? The name Satan is a Hebrew name that we use instead of our name for Devil.
The Devil is supposed to be a He-goat with a forked tail, his pictogram is the symbol of Capricorn. The ancient Egyptians had the hieroglyph of an "unidentified black animal" with a fork tail and cut up ears in points. But there is many other little devils representing the evil spirit of a fox (Anubis), a hyena, a crow or a camel, or any other animal of different countries and different cultures.
The Pagan European Devil is a horned god all right but it is a Deer with Deer Antlers, His name is Cernunnos.(from Cerf in the forest, serf and serve).

Answer 3

Snake and Crocodile (dragon) The goat or ram is more associated with Jesus, as in the story of Abraham going to sacrafice his son, a ram was there because God provided the sacrafice, and the goat that the Jews sent out after they put the sin upon it, that is Jesus being crucified for our sins outside the camp. And Christians know that these animals are not evil, they are animals.

Answer 4

Lots of animals are associated with Satan. Goats are particularly associated with the devil because we draw our modern idea of what Satan looks like from the Greek god Pan, a cloven-footed horned man. The bible actually gives no description of Satan and makes no inference that the serpent of Eden was Satan in Genesis. This occurs later, in the book of Revelation written in the 2nd Century CE, possibly as a reaction to Gnostic Christian's interpretation of the serpent as a positive figure, even a saviour.

Satan is often depicted as a goat, a dragon and even a female temptress. One reason for this is biblical propaganda against rival religions such as the Greek Pan, the fertility god Baal and goddesses such as Babylonian Tiamat and Ishtar. Indeed, one explanation for the etymology of the word "devil" (and also "demon") comes from the Sanskrit word "devi" meaning goddess. Because of this association, modern Christians often assume that the Pagan Horned God is evidence of devil-worship.

Other animals that are associated with Satan are cats, frogs, weasels, crows and rats. Such animals were also accused of being familiars of witches.

Answer 5

Usually all the black cats,dogs,snakes ,goats,anything scary but for sure not the donkey.When Jesus came to some city,he was riding a donkey and if you look at the paint of his birth in the barn,there are cows,a horse,donkey so that leaves the donkey alone.Another popular belief is that the evil has his hoofs split so all animals with split hooves are having the evil's seed in them.Hope I helped.
