cloven feet
Devil's traditional appendages
Cloven feet are hooves divided into two toes, as in cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs.
The cleft distinguishes them from solid hooves like those of horses.
In religious and folkloric tradition, cloven feet mark the devil and demons—Satan is often depicted with goat's feet.
Someone with cloven feet may be hiding evil nature beneath a respectable surface.
