Giving the Devil His Due

I typically list attributes when asked to describe God

I have not attempted the same for the Devil

but now I am tempted

how about a little help?

got some manner to make recognition?
some outstanding attribute?.....only the Devil might be

He has a fabulous rubicund complexion, a stylish prehensile tail
with fashionable barbs on the tip, & those horns....those gorgeous
pointy crowns. And they're no lowly keratin & chitin protuberances.
They're made of pure evil.

I once read a sci-fi story that had the devil as a character. It was described as absolutely back, nothingness, but that still moved and could speak.

The Devil is rumored to have been God's Favored......

so ......very similar to God but one step less in attributes

God would be bigger ,stronger ,faster ,most intelligent and greatly experienced
cannot be pushed aside
cannot be circumvented
cannot be subdued
tricked or cheated

and the Devil would be the same but one step less
each count

It is normal that no testimonies go for Satan.

He is a cherub, a snake, a dragon. Making a noise on a regular basis, which is the gnashing of teeth.

He's desperate (maybe too afraid of accepting a failure), went insane (driven by the same factor that he's going too desperate in facing a failure). He's capable of making a very precise guess on your intention. He's professed in casting fear. When he stares at you, fear is not from his ugliness it's rather the strong feeling that "facing him this way can be an eternity" (you feel that his staring at you that way can maintain eternally, that's where the fear is from).

instruction was given in scripture

go to your closet and close the door
and the spirit that knows you will hear your prayer

alone.....in the dark.....you pray

and would you stay in the closet if Someone answered?

Well compared to god the devil doesn't kill so much, in the OT god is responsible for over 2 million deaths, while the the devil can hold his hands up to 10. That's pretty outstanding eh?
