Can anyone explain why the big ugly guy in Hellboy had two black puddings stuck to his forehead?
Hellboy grew up to be a large red-skinned demon with a tail, horns (which he files off, leaving behind his signature stumps), and a big stone right hand (the “Right Hand of Doom”). In Wake the Devil, Hellboy meets the goddess Hecate. Addressed as “Anung Un Rama”, he is told that his arrival on Earth signals its end. At the climax of the story, Hellboy is swallowed by Hecate in the form of an iron maiden and some kind of otherworldly conflict ensues, in which he is told that his right hand is a key to open the pit. Again Hellboy refuses, this time breaking off his newly re-grown horns, revealing what those two circles on his forehead are.
