On the subject of fantasy crap's sources, I always wondered where whole spade tipped demon tail came from. The cloven feet and horns I get cause of goats, and goats are assholes.

From what I can gather it's based on Greek mythological satyrs, goatlike beings who also had a tail. The bible itself does not depict the devil or demons as goats, although it does reference a number of goat worshipping cults. The image of Satan/demons as a goat-like creature as we know of today originates from medieval times as far as I can tell.
