Demon of the Week 017

In Akkadian and Sumerian mythology, Alû is a vengeful spirit of the Utukku that goes down to the underworld Kur. The demon has no mouth, lips or ears. It roams at night and terrifies people while they sleep. Spirit possession by Alû results in unconsciousness and coma. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Alû is the celestial Bull.
