Profile

Origin

Gaap is a spirit in European demonology first attested as Caap, the 26th spirit in the Livre des esperitz, where he is said to be a great prince with 20 legions under his command, and he appears in the form of a knight. He answers truthfully whatever question is asked of him, and brings gold and silver.[1]

Gaap is elaborated upon as the 37th spirit (labeled 36th) in Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, which draws from earlier sources. Gaap, also known as Tap, is said to be a great president and prince who is the guide of the four principal kings, and to be as mighty as Byleth. He is said to grant wisdom in philosophy and the liberal arts; to cause love, hatred, invisibility, and consecration of those under the domination of Amaymon; to deliver familiars from other exorcists; to answer truthfully questions of the past, present, and future; and to carry a person places most swiftly. He has 66 legions under his command and was of the order of the Powers.[2]

In the Ars Goetia section of The Lesser Key of Solomon, which is heavily based on the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Gaap is said to be the 33rd spirit summoned by King Solomon of Israel.[3] The Lesser Key lists him among the four chiefest spirits (along with Belial, Bileth, and Asmoday).[4]

Design

Tap in the Dictionnaire Infernal

Gaap's Shin Megami Tensei II design appears to be loosely based on the illustration of Tap/Gaap by Louis Le Breton in Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal.
