Furis Rubian (Latin: Red Devil/Red Fury)

In their woged form, Furis Rubians have often been mistaken as the Devil throughout history. In fact, during the dark ages, the Pope helped propagate this mistaken identity by chaining some up in the basement of St. Peter's Basilica, occasionally bringing them out for the general public to see, to instill the fear of Hell into the masses.

Despite their intimidating look, Furis Rubians are not violent creatures, nor do they condone violence either. Normally having a calm demeanor, they only become aggressive as a last resort, typically in self-defense. Some Furis Rubians choose to use their woged appearance for good and attempt to help others through spiritual and religious healing.

So in Aunt Marie’s Book of Lore, the entry on Hexenbiests and Zauberbiests has a retelling of the Grimm story “The Girl Without Hands.” The implication, it would appear, is that the Devil/Evil Spirit in that fairy tale is actually a Zauberbiest.

This brings up the interesting idea that most, if not all, Devils in fairy tales are actually Zauberbiests in the Grimm universe. There are a lot of variations of the tale where someone makes a deal with the Devil to have wealth or have a bridge built, among other stories.

Within the show itself, the only Wesen singled out as being mistaken for the Devil are the Furis Rubians. But it seems really likely that a few other Wesen had the same influence over human folklore. My other guess would be the Ziegevolk, since the idea of the Devil having goat horns and legs is a common image.

Just my thoughts on this subject.
