I think a turtle would be appropriate. Each scale of the shell could 
represent a diffrent BSD. It doesn't have to be a 1to 1 correspondence. 
On second thought they might be percieved as being slow and 
hermit-like.

Strictly incorporating the demon + pitchfork with a sea theme yields 
Neptune. But that doesn't mean anything.

Hammer and anvil? Tools of a blacksmith.. a toolmaker. Or we could go 
more high-tech to like a machinist. I just thought of the calipers and 
maybe it's getting too Masonic here. But I think the blacksmith line of 
thought could go pretty far.
