Kulullû

Kulullû, inscribed 𒄩𒇽𒍇𒇻, "Fish-Man", was an ancient Mesopotamian mythical monster possibly inherited by Marduk from his father Ea.

In later Assyrian mythology, he was associated with kuliltu, "Fish-Woman", and statues of them were apparently located in the Nabû temple in Nimrud, ancient Kalhu, as referenced on a contemporary administrative text.

[1] He had the head, arms and torso of a human and the lower body and tail of a fish and was portrayed in sculptures found in palaces and on kudurrus.

With a bitumen smeared clay figurine, he seems to have found special purpose attracting prosperity and divine benevolence to households, as his icon was inscribed ri-da hi-ṣib KUR-i er-ba taš-mu u ma-ga-ru, "come down abundance of the mountain, enter intercession and compliance".

He is one of the demons listed in tablet VIII of the Šurpu incantation series, the ritual to counter a curse of unknown origin.
