Pazuzu (/pɑːˈzuːzuː/ pa-ZOO-zoo)

Pazuzu was a powerful demon lord and one of the eldest and most reprehensible of them. He was also called the Dark Angel of the Four Winds and the Prince of the Lower Aerial Kingdoms. He held sway over all evil flying creatures, even among the different layers of the Abyss.

Tongue plucked raw from gaping maw Blood from vein let fall like rain Behold these eyes, your bloody prize And now the fall from vaulted hall These bones! This flesh! Consume it all! Pazuzu! Pazuzu! Pazuzu!
— A sacrificial prayer to Pazuzu

Description

Pazuzu was described as being tall and well-proportioned with unmistakably demonic features, such as avian feet, four wings that both smoked and gleamed with oil, and most notably, a feral bird's beak on an otherwise handsome face.

Personality

He was fond of corrupting mortals, especially the innocent and honest. He enjoyed offering aid that at first appeared beneficial, but which ultimately spelled doom on the victim in the long run. His favorite prizes were the most pure and Pazuzu believed the living world provided the best opportunity for such prey.
