Demona wields the Green-Eyed Monster

The Green-Eyed Monster is a magical idol capable of exploiting envy and jealousy. ("The Green-Eyed Abyss Gazes, Also...")

History

Under the influence of the idol.

The green-eyed monster is William Shakespeare's metaphor for jealousy which first appeared in Othello spoken to Othello by Iago:

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;

It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock

The meat it feeds on; that cuckold lives in bliss

Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;

But, O, what damned minutes tells he o'er

Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!

The monologue personifies jealousy as a predatory beast that will make those afflicted by it behave irrationally in its service.
