Not The Devil, But A Devil

The Malebolgia is as very close to pure evil as one might encounter, short
of meeting Evil Incarnate.  It resides in Hell in the Eight Sphere, dubbed
"the Malebolge" after it defeated the previous resident, another unknown
devil, sometime in the past.

You don't want to meet the Malebolgia.  You don't want to hike through the 
Malebolge.  Be a good hitchhiker.  Obey your parents and all posted speed 
limits.

Malebolgia is of interest for both it's seemingly fathomless capacity for 
evil and it's creation of hellspawns.  It has created an army of hellspawns
(see Spawn) throughout time-space which it plans to use in battle against
the forces of Heaven at Armageddon.

Strangely enough, some patches of time-space actually sell action figures 
of the Malebolgia.  They are limited to extremely small production runs,
causing collectors and other assorted riff-raff to seek after them all
the more ardently.  Memo Diligent, a world-class collector, reportedly
spent the price of say... Iowa on the famed variation "Malebolgia with
small yellow fleck of paint."
