A cacodaemon is the opposite of a good spirit known as an agathodaemon (also known as the Greek god of vinyards, health and prosperity).
It is said that the cacodaemon once the figure that represented the twelfth house of the horoscope. It was driven by the belief that the twelfth house was ruled by a demonic spirit, though these assumptions were later dismissed.
Nobody knows the true shape of the cacodeamon as it is supposed to have the power of shape changing and appears to people in different forms.

A shape shifting daemon. Sounds like danger hiding in plain sight right there.
Looks like a kid's worst nightmare to me! (and maybe not just kids either!) Gruesome!
A demon that can change shape has got to be the most dangerous kind, right?
That's a good demon!!
Yikes!
How creepy!
Awesome graphics. I like your blog's design. Very fitting for your macabre point of view.
I LOVE that the 12th house was ruled by a demon. So cool!
Interesting post! It almost fits in with my A to Z theme of mythology - but that picture is enough to give anyone nightmares, surely?! :-)
I have never heard of this mythical evil demon. I love the design and theme of your blog. I just stopped by from the challenge.
Very cool. But the geek in me has to point out the monster there is an Astral Dreadnought. ;)
I am trying to read all the A to Z blogs, but coming back to the ones I really like.
Looking forward to seeing what you do all month!
