Mesopotamian demon

She thus bears some functions and resemblance to the Mesopotamian demon Lilith.

Marc Cramer and others believe the term to be etymologically related to Gallu, a Mesopotamian demon.

Other Mesopotamian demons such as the Babylonian goddess Lamashtu, (Sumer's Dimme) and Gallu of the Uttuke group are mentioned as having vampiric natures.
