"Your Queen Bee brings the sweet stuff, so keep making me that motherfucking honey!"

- Beelzebub

Beelzebub, more commonly referred to as Queen Bee-lzebub, or simply Bee, is a minor character in Helluva Boss who made her debut in "Queen Bee".

She is the girlfriend of Vortex and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, embodying the sin of Gluttony.

Appearance
Beelzebub is a tall, fox-like demon with insect-like features, such as multiple arms, a pair of antennae attached to her ears, and a small pair of insect wings. She has yellow and pink-striped fur, and black markings that give a dripping appearance down her four arms and digitigrade legs.

Her hair and tail seem to be made of either honey or lava lamp fluid and glow bright pink, blue, and orange, with her stomach also being a lava lamp. She has a pink stripe on her head that opens up into a third eye when she enters her full demon form.

Her outfit consists of a black choker around her neck, a pink off-the-shoulder crop-top with a heart-shaped cutout, white markings underneath turning into a paw with claws, a black low-cut bra, and a pair of lighter pink short shorts with trim the same color as her top.

Personality
Beelzebub presents herself as a highly extroverted and energetic party girl. With her lively attitude, she keeps a bright environment for her guests, allowing them to heavily indulge in food and alcohol, such as her beelzejuice.

She is also shown to be competitive when challenging Blitzo to a drinking contest, but shows respect to him when losing. She has shown to care about others' well-being and also concern for her guests, and does not like it when they indulge for self destructive reasons.

Trivia

 * Beelzebub is based on the popular known for having multiple renditions, which are referenced in the character's depiction in the series.
 * In, Beelzebub is one of the seven Princes of Hell, representing Gluttony. Likewise, Beelzebub in Helluva Boss is the embodiment of Gluttony.
 * The name "Beelzebub" is derived from Hebrew meaning "Lord of the flies". This may have influenced Beelzebub's interpretation as an insect, although in Helluva Boss she's a bee instead of a fly due to their association with honey.
 * Beelzebub is the second of the deadly sins to debut.
 * The emblem in the episode thumbnail and Beelzebub's mansion interior is the Seal of from the Ars Goetia, but with some minor design modifications and the name "Beelzebub" rather than "Bael" encompassing it. This implies a relationship between Beelzebub and Bael, however it is unclear if they are the same or separate individuals.
 * This connection is drawn from the name Beelzebub, being derived from Ba'al-zəbûb, and associated with the Canaanite god, with "Baal" being an alternate spelling of the Ars Goetia demon, Bael.
 * Additionally, Beelzebub (and Belphegor) of the Hellaverse are portrayed as female, as opposed to their real-life demonology counterpart, who are males.
 * Beelzebub's design resembles the Zoophobia character, JayJay, who is known for appearing in Vivienne Medrano's well-known animated music video adaptation of Kesha's song "Die Young". This is most apparent during "Cotton Candy", where Beelzebub is briefly blue underneath the neon lighting.
 * According to Vivziepop, Beelzebub's lava lamp theme was for a few reasons, the main one is that Vivziepop wanted her to have "a very 60s' hippy free spirit kind of party vibe", and adding that her belly is essentially constantly burning what she consumes, keeping her constantly indulging.
 * In a reply to a Tweet, Sam Miller states she calls Beelzebub the "Queen of the Never-Shuts-The-Fuck-Up Club".

Development

 * Beelzebub's ears are designed after beehives and end in antennas, and she is a fox to slightly separate her from Hellhounds.
 * When Beelzebub goes full demon form, the insect aspects are more on display, which makes her eyes insectoid.
 * According to Vivziepop, originally Beelzebub's tail had more stripes, but for sake of complexity they were removed.
 * According to Sam Miller, Bombproof was designed with the fire mane and lava belly as a test to see if Beelzebub's hair and lava belly were possible to do.
 * Additionally, as revealed in the rough drafts from the official artists, Beelzebub's lava lamp-like body is green screened onto her character.
 * Beelzebub's lava lamp hair and tail had a rigged looping asset which was used by the animation team for her appearances throughout the episode.
 * According to Vivienne Medrano, each of the Seven Deadly Sins represents a circus act, with Beelzebub representing the animal tamer/animal shows, with her mansion being decorated with circus hoops and rings.
 * In one of Vivziepop's Instagram posts made some time before the premiere of "Murder Family", several sketches of Beelzebub can be seen around her traditional drawing of Blitzo.
