While in Hell , Harry was turned into a pillow by Belial , Etrigan's father. During this time he became relatively bitter and even joined Klarion 's team of supernatural villains in their quest for revenge against Etrigan. He also learned a bit of magic --enough to provide the final bit necessary for Klarion to stop Etrigan and Lobo from destroying the world with a special bomb. He was retrieved from Hell and spent time relatively contented in Jason's apartment while his friend searched for a cure for his condition. For a time, Harry had the companion ship of 'The Thing That Cannot Die', a pink shaped demon about his size that was only eager to please. He was eventually returned to human form. At one point, he froze his left arm with liquid nitrogen, and it broke off.
