 * Matt 12, Mark 3:23 satan would not drive out demons? beelzebul
 * Matt 12:43 when spirit exits, looks around, comes back to empty house, Lk 9:42. Demons desire houses.
 * Demons can inhabit animals. The pigs of legion. Satan serpent Gen 3.
 * Demons might be able to appear as creatures. Satan dragon Rev. Locust of Rev 9:2-3. Frogs Rev 16:13. Since these examples are only in Rev, perhaps God is stopping them from doing so now. No examples of demons appearing as humans (in contrast to angels)
