Asag

In the Sumerian mythological poem Lugal-e, Asag or Azag (Sumerian:𒀉𒉺 a₂-sag₃ Akkadian: asakku[1]), is a monstrous demon, so hideous that his presence alone makes fish boil alive in the rivers.

[citation needed] He was said to be accompanied into battle by an army of rock demon offspring—born of his union with the mountains themselves.

[citation needed] He was vanquished by the heroic Akkadian deity Ninurta, using Sharur, his enchanted talking mace, after seeking the counsel of his father, the god Enlil.
