Amelouith was the demon of the Egyptian magicians. Together with the demon Ephippas, they created a column out of some unknown purple substance that they raised out of the Red Sea. This is also the demon who hardened Pharaoh's heart when Moses asked him to set free the Israelites. When Moses and his people fled through the parting of the Red Sea, Amelouith traveled with Pharaoh's army to capture them. The sea closed up and washed away the army, but Amelouith was trapped beneath the water under the gigantic column he and Ephippas had created. He remained trapped until Ephippas found him and only with their combined strength were they able to lift it off him.
