The demon that possesses Regan MacNeil is named Pazuzu in both the novel and the script; director William Friedkin confirms this on the audio-commentary track. However, this name is never mentioned in any cut of the film, being first used on-screen in the sequel L'esorcista II - L'eretico (1977). During the film, Pazuzu lies to Father Damien Karras by claiming to be the Devil/Satan, but conversations with Father Lankester Merrin show this claim to be false.
