The demon Envy was one of the seventy-two Spirits of Solomon that were used to build Solomon's Temple. He is described in the Testament of Solomon as a headless man. Desiring a head of his own, he finds a head that he would want for himself, removes it from the victim, and then consumes it. He haunts crossroads, creating sores, mutilating feet, and making children deaf and mute. Envy is repelled by a flash of lightning.
