Appearance[]
The Snaggleback is a pink-furred demon that appears to resemble an ape with yellow fangs and a teal tortoise shell with spikes on his back. The shell can be removed, as Eda regurgitated the shell and demon separately without any known significant harm on the Snaggleback. The Snaggleback mentions that he has a tail, although it is absent due to digestion while he was inside Eda's stomach.
Personality[]
Initially, it was believed the Snaggleback was a ferocious demon with an appetite for tourists and the most powerful demon on the Isles. Contrary to this description, the real Snaggleback is shy, skittish, and demure.
Background[]
The Snaggleback wandered into the Owl House during a boiling rainstorm. As Eda transformed into her cursed form at the same time, King and Luz mistake her for the Snaggleback. King finds the real Snaggleback hiding in the closet, but Eda then devours the Snaggleback and regurgitates the shell before turning her attention to King. After Eda returns to normal, she regurgitates the Snaggleback in an owl pellet, and Luz allows the demon to recuperate in the Owl House until the storm subsides. The Snaggleback also learns about his status from King's demon book but is disappointed to hear of King's plans to edit the entry.[1]
During the Covention, the Snaggleback appears in the audience of the Emperor's Coven theater.[2]
The Snaggleback serves as a disco ball for Grom.[3]
Four years following Belos' defeat, he is seen at Luz's belated quinceañera, hanging from Hooty and acting as the "PAIN-YATA". He is later seen watching the Collector's light show.
