Who doesn't know Paimon from Genshin Impact? The mascot character of the Genshin Impact game has always been an adventurous friend and also as a traveler's navigation. But did you know that the name Paimon cannot be separated from horror stories in our world?

Curious about what kind of story is attached to the name Paimon? Come on, let's find out together!

Paimon the Emergency Food

Before we start discussing the main topic, let me remind you again about this one character. Paimon is a non-playable character who always accompanies Traveler on adventures in the world of Teyvat.

He was first found drifting in the river when Traveler was fishing. Since Traveler's encounter with Paimon, they have traveled together in the world of Teyvat while searching for the protagonist's missing brother.

Paimon is often referred to as Emergency Food by Genshin Impact players. The summons appears early in the game when the Traveler calls Paimon an Emergency Food. Since then, the name call will not be separated for Paimon as an emergency provision.

After discussing the outline of Paimon, let's just start our main topic of discussion.

Paimon from The Lesser Key of Solomon, Ars Goetia

The name Paimon cannot be separated from fiction, forbidden books and horror stories from various media. In a book called The Lesser Key of Solomon, Ars Goetia, Paimon or in this case King Paimon is one of the 22nd list of Pseudomonarchia Daemonum demons.

King Paimon appears as the 9th demon in Goetia who is manifested as a human riding an Arabian camel. He is always seen wearing a crown which many people think is a noble man. Not many know what King Paimon's real face looks like. But many say he has a handsome and beautiful face for a man.

He is also one of the kings of Hell who is obedient to his leaders including Lucifer in that world. Has 200 troops in Hell and has the leadership to control all the troops he has.

King Paimon

Called King Paimon has extensive knowledge to cover all the magic and the greatest secrets on earth, from water to even air. According to Abremalin, King Paimon has knowledge from the past to the future. In addition, he can dispel doubts about someone, make spirits appear and make him a servant, revive the dead to last several years and much more.

Paimon in The Lesser Key of Solomon, Ars Goetia, looks more sinister and OP than the one we know in Genshin Impact. He usually just complains, eats, likes to show off, talks bluntly and much more.

Paimon in Horror Movie

Several big screen films with the horror genre also took Paimon's name as one of the concepts. There are at least 4 horror films that use Paimon's name in the story. The following are the names of the films:

Ghoulies, a horror comedy film directed by Luca Bercovici as his first debut. First aired on January 18, 1985.
Hereditary, a supernatural horror film directed and written by Ari Aster. First aired on January 21, 2018.
Last Shift, a psychological horror film directed by Anthony DiBlasi. First aired on October 25, 2014.
The Last Exorcism, a supernatural documentary horror film directed by Daniel Stamm. First aired on June 24, 2010.

Meanwhile, the Paimon we know in Genshin Impact actually has a cute and funny impression.

That's the discussion about Paimon from Genshin Impact which cannot be separated from horror stories in our world. If miHoYo takes the concept of the name Paimon based on the story in The Lesser Key of Solomon, Ars Goetia, there is a possibility that we will get a plot twist or surprise in the story of Genshin Impact later. We still don't know much about Paimon's real identity in the game.

Paimon Ehe Te Nandayo

There are also many theories from Genshin Impact fans that Paimon will be the last boss game. Or Paimon's real identity is A or B. Whoever she is, let's just wait for the development of the Genshin Impact story in the future.
