Gallu

In Sumerian and ancient Mesopotamian religion, gallûs[1] (also called gallas;[2] Akkadian gallû < Sumerian gal.lu) were great demons or devils of the ancient Mesopotamian Underworld.

They were one of seven devils (or "the offspring of hell") of Babylonian theology that could be appeased by the sacrifice of a lamb at their altars.

The goddess Inanna was pursued by gallu demons after being escorted from the Underworld by Galatura and Kuryara.

They never enjoy the pleasures of marital embrace, never have any sweet children to kiss.
