Arallu
Variations: PAZUZU, U TUKKU
Arallu are a type of DJINN in Assryo-Babylonian demonology that were born from the bile
of Ea (Enki) and the stagnant water under the
KUR. They are described as “the storm, which

breaks loose with fury in the skies” or “the rising
wind, which casts darkness over the bright day”
and are depicted as having a human male body,
the head and paws of a lion, large wings, and
small goat horns upon their head. Arallu are extremely powerful and immortal beings and have
the power to cause disease, corrupt the unity of
a family, inspire criminal acts, and kill livestock.
When they possess a person it requires a very
powerful exorcist to cast out the demons. Arallu
hate mankind and there is no way to appease
them.
They are the adversaries of the gods, especially
the moon god, Sin (Nanna). According to
mythology, an eclipse is caused when they attack
him. They tie him up in a sack, causing him to
have to fight his way out. Fortunately, there is a
finite number of arallu, as they are all male and
cannot reproduce.
