Said to been born from the profane intercourse of mortals and demons, he is the demon of Lust and Lascivity. He tempts men and women with pleasures of the flesh, in order to separate them from their souls.
Well, the 3rd prince of hell is Asmodeus, who represents the sin of lust
for his design I went with the most common reference I found.
"It is said the Asmodeus is a demon with 3 faces, one of a man spitting fire, one of a bull and one of a ram, a snake tail and one leg of a rooster, while mounted on a lion with dragon wings or a dragon."
When people symbolizes lust, it is usually represented as a very seductive woman, but, this being "princes of hell", the demons drawn by the artist needed to all be male. As seen, the artist has gone for a very effeminate, androgynous looking man who may or may not be hermaphroditic, everything is possible.
The artist then added the heads and that chicken leg, and made them bones, why may you ask, well, as a symbol of how lust corrupts the body. Everything begins with a very attractive look, but in the end, time and overuse will turn what once was beauty into death and decay.
