Dantalion appears in the grimoire tradition associated with the Ars Goetia and related compilations of named spirits (the corpus sometimes called the '72 Spirits of Solomon'). The figure is known from grimoire-derived sources and later occult encyclopedias which systematize spirits into ranks and legions; transmission and spelling vary across manuscripts and translations of the Ars Goetia and related works.
The supplied sources do not provide a reliable, consistent physical description for Dantalion. Modern encyclopedic entries note the spirit's rank and functions but the excerpts available here are truncated and do not record definitive details of outward form.
Sources in the grimoire/occult encyclopedic tradition attribute to Dantalion the teaching of arts and sciences and knowledge of human thought. He is described as able to 'declare the secret counsel of anyone' because he 'knows the thoughts of all people and can change them at his will.' He is also given a high rank and command over many legions in those listings.
