Pazuzu, King of the Southwest Wind

The King of the Wind Demons, Pazuzu looks like a fiendish combination of lion, bird, and scorpion. He brings plagues, storms, and drought. In dry seasons, Pazuzu brings famine. In rainy seasons, he brings locusts. He revels in death and starvation, and glories as humans die beneath him.

 

Pazuzu's chief rival is his sister, Lamashtu, and invoking him can protect against her evil deeds and murder of children... but at what cost?
