The goat image is often used with Baphomet which is also an image of demons. The goat/pentagram is often used in satanism.
Savage Golem - According to the Jewish folklore, a golem is a being made up of nonliving objects. The name came from the Hebrew word that directly means "cocoon" or idiomatically meaning "fool", but other sources tell that it came from the word gelem which means "raw material". The word golem is used in the Bible to refer to an embryonic or incomplete substance: Psalm 139:16 uses the word גלמי, meaning my unshaped form, which then passes into Yiddish as goylem. The Mishnah uses the term for an uncultivated person ("Seven characteristics are in an uncultivated person, and seven in a learned one", Pirkei Avot 5:9 in the Hebrew text, varies in English translations). Similarly, golems are often used today in metaphor either as brainless lunks or as entities serving man under controlled conditions, but hostile to him in others. Similarly, it is a Yiddish slang insult for someone who is clumsy or slow.
Puia - The Harpy (from the Greek "Άρπυια", lit. "Snatcher") is a hideous death spirit with a bird's body and a woman's head and chest.

Orangguerra - The word guerra is a Spanish term meaning war. The Oranguerra term could mean "war monkey" though Arius used monsters as a part of demon army.

Arachne - The name of this demon doubles as a reference to both the Greek myth of Arachne and the type of animal that spiders are (arachnid).

They draw energy from the men to sustain themselves, often until the point of exhaustion or death of the victim.
Beowulf - Beowulf is the Geatish hero of the Old English poem of the same name. This poem is famous for being the oldest known piece of English literature. It appears that Beowulf and Geryon had their names switched, as Devil May Cry 3 Beowulf more closely resembles the description of Geryon given in the Divine Comedy, while the legendary Beowulf would be more similar to the Devil May Cry 3 Geryon's rider. In the Divine Comedy, Geryon was a chthonic demon representing violence and fraud which had the body of a winged dragon, the arms of a lion, the tail of a scorpion, and the face of an honest man. Dante and Vergil force it to bear them further into Hell, and Vergil protects Dante by sitting between Dante and the beast's deadly tail. It is also possible that the Devil May Cry 3 Beowulf is based upon the literary Beowulf's main foe, Grendel. In particular, Grendel's right arm was ripped off by Beowulf to be used as a trophy, similar to how Beowulf's arms and legs make up its Devil Arm form. The design for Devil May Cry 3 Beowulf could also be based on Pazuzu, a Sumerian wind demon with the body of a man, the head of a dog, the legs of an eagle, two pairs of wings, a scorpion's tail, and a serpentine penis.
Geryon - In Greek mythology, Geryon is a giant with three bodies joined to one pair of legs. He appears in the Divine Comedy as a bear-armed dragon with a man's face and a scorpion's tail.

These beetles are frequently depicted as a cartoon character in popular media, much as bears or lions are in the United States.

The 10.000 word rule made me to double post, so here goes the other part.
Dante - Dante's name comes from Dante Alighieri, who was a great Florentine poet of the Middle Ages. His central work, Divine Comedy, is often referenced or used as a background throughout Devil May Cry series.
Vergil - His name comes from Publius Vergilius Maro, who was a classical Roman poet. Dante Alighieri made Virgil his guide to the Hell in Divine Comedy.
Trish/Gloria - Trish's name is a reference to Lady Beatrice of the Divine Comedy, who was based on Dante Alighieri's muse and unrequited love, Beatrice Portinari. The Gloria ("Glory be to God on high" in Latin) is the second part of the Catholic Ordinary of the Mass. It is traditionally sung in Latin.
Lady - Lady shares her original name, Mary, with the Virgin Mary, who called on St. Lucia and Beatrice to aid the poet Dante Alighieri in his sojourn through Hell. As such, her chosen name of "Lady" is likely then a reference to one of the Virgin's other names, "Madonna" (Italian for "Lady").
Mundus - The mundus Cereris was a pit in Roman mythology which contained an entrance to Hades, the underworld, which was ruled by Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld; Mundus is identified as Pluto twice within Devil May Cry. The stone covering the pit, known as the lapis manalis, would be removed three times a year, and when it was removed it was believed that the spirits of the blessed dead would commune with the living. Mundus' three eyes are likely a reference to Satan, who is portrayed with three faces in Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy. Satan is also considered the "prince of this world" and the "prince of darkness", both titles which Mundus shares with him.
Credo/Angelo Credo - The Credo ("I believe" in Latin; also known as the Nicene Creed) is the third part of the Catholic Ordinary of the Mass. It is traditionally sung in Latin.
Agnus/Angelo Agnus - The Agnus Dei ("Lamb of God" in Latin; a traditional title for Jesus Christ) is the fifth part of the Catholic Ordinary of the Mass. It is traditionally sung in Latin. The name of Mission 17 originates from Adagio for strings, a work for string orchestra, arranged by the American composer Samuel Barber from his first string quartet. In 1967 he transcribed the piece for eight-part choir, as a setting of the Agnus Dei.
Sanctus/Sanctus Diabolica - The Sanctus ("Holy, Holy, Holy" in Latin) is the fourth part of the Catholic Ordinary of the Mass. It is traditionally sung in Latin.
Kyrie - The Kyrie eleison ("Lord have mercy" in Greek) is the first part of the Catholic Ordinary of the Mass. It is traditionally sung in Greek.
Yamato - Yamato (大和, Yamato) is a Japanese term referring to the people and traditional nationalistic spirit of Japan, and in the past to the nation itself. Thus, it is appropriate as the name of the weapon symbolizing Vergil's aesthetic and commitment to tradition and power, as opposed to Dante's personality of resistance symbolized by the Rebellion.
Alastor - Alastor, meaning "Avenger", was a genius of familial feuds in classical mythology, and encouraged violent retribution. In this respect, it often referred to Zeus, the lightning god. In Christian demonology, it became the chief executioner of Hell.
Ifrit - In the Qur'an, Ifrit is a Jinn commonly associated with fire.
Gilgamesh - Gilgamesh was a quasi-historical king who is the central character of the Epic of Gilgamesh. He was a superhuman who became bored with his rule, and went on an adventure in which he became friends with the half-wild Enkidu and ended up seeking a method of immortality to prevent his own death.
Lucifer - Lucifer (lit. "Light Bearer" in Latin) is the title of a Babylonian king interpreted in Christian mythology to have been the name of Satan before his fall. Berial is sometimes considered to be his father or son.
Blue Rose - Blue roses, which cannot occur naturally, have long been a symbol for extreme rarity or attaining the impossible. Roses also traditionally symbolize love, while blue flowers are used to signify great faithfulness and loyalty; the combination of the two would thus denote a lasting, faithful love.
Pandora - Pandora's Box was a jar in Classical mythology which held all the evils of the world. It was given to the first woman, Pandora, as a gift for her wedding to Epimetheus, and because of her curiosity she disobeyed her husband and opened it, releasing evil into the world. 666 the supposed number of forms for Pandora is also the Number of The Beast in the Bible.
Artemis - In Greek mythology, Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, twin sister to Apollo and goddess of the forest and hills. The riddle of the Trial of Wisdom is based on the riddle of the Sphinx in Oedipus Rex: "What is the creature that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three in the evening?" The answer is "Man" — who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and walks with a cane in old age.
Dante - Dante's name comes from Dante Alighieri, who was a great Florentine poet of the Middle Ages. His central work, Divine Comedy, is often referenced or used as a background throughout Devil May Cry series.
