The Lesser Bot of Solomon offers you endless pages from a text in the style of Ars Goetia and the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.

A few I like:
№ 573 Senator SABAZMONUS, DEMON of: alcoholically positioning cutthroats
№ 567 Saint BARETHOS, DEMON of: riposting footraces
№ 555 Coach AMIKEL, DEMON of: debunked dashes, polytheism
№ 531 Chancellor BALILEL, DEMON of: totes
№ 466 Warden CASSPHESHA, DEMON of: deadly athletes
