He first appears in the form of an ugly viper but at the command of the summoner he can assume the form of a man with great teeth and two horns, carrying a sharp bright sword in his hand.

Overview

Like a majority of the Ars Goetia, he was once an angel that joined Lucifer's ranks during the War in Heaven only to be defeated and cast out of Heaven into the abyss. Upon the establishing of Hell and its governing system, he becomes appointed as a great president as well as an Earl of the Inferno. He governs 60 legions of spirits.

According to the Grand Grimoire, he is a direct subordinate of Agaliarept. He tells of all things past and to come and can reconcile with friends and foes. Botis is known to have a sword that extends at high speed to impale his opponents from a distance. The sword itself behaves much like a serpent in accordance to the theme of its master who is a viper demon.

Original text from the Ars Goetia:

“The Seventeenth Spirit is Botis, a Great President, and an Earl. He appeareth at the first show in the form of an ugly Viper, then at the command of the Magician he putteth on a Human shape with Great Teeth, and two Horns, carrying a bright and sharp Sword in his hand. He telleth all things Past, and to Come, and reconcileth Friends and Foes. He ruleth over 60 Legions of Spirits, and this is his Seal, etc.”

From Tikaboo

“He appeareth at the first show in the form of an ugly Viper, then at the command of the Magician he putteth on a Human shape with Great Teeth, and two Horns, carrying a bright and sharp Sword in his hand. He telleth all things Past, and to Come, and reconcileth Friends and Foes. He ruleth over 60 Legions of Spirits.”

From the Luciferian Goetia by Michael Ford

“Botis is a divinatory spirit whom reveals secrets in the depths of the mind, and how one may obtain secrets from others by language and talk.”

From the Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly

“Most water daemons can be invoked for emotional matters with regards to relationships. Seek Botis to draw new friends or perform divination regarding friends.”
