In demonology, Orobas is a powerful Great Prince of Hell, having twenty legions of demons under his control.

Orobas answers questions and gives one power and control over others. He protects one from the persecution of evil spirits and also from one's enemies. He will put a stop to slander and gossip. He can foretell the future, and discern the past and present. Orobas is the Patron of horses. Orobas appears as a black stallion bucking up with lightning. He appears both as a small unusual looking dark-haired man or a boy with medium blonde ring curls.

The name could come from the Latin 'orobias', a type of incense.
