U<br />
udugg (utukku) A type of Babylonian DEMON who can<br />
be either good or evil. A group of evil ones are known as<br />
the Seven; they are offspring of the sky god, An, and the<br />
Earth goddess, Ki, and they act as assistants to the<br />
underworld god, Nergal. In Akkadian lore, the utukku<br />
are servants of the underworld, whose task is to fetch the<br />
sacrificial offerings made by humans, especially the<br />
BLOOD, liver, and organs of animals. <strong>The</strong> evil utukku are<br />
the ekimmu and the good ones are the shedu.<br />
Ukobach Low-ranking DEMON who invented fireworks<br />
and the art of frying food. Ukobach appears with an<br />
inflamed body. BEELZEBUB assigns him to tend the oil in<br />
the cauldrons of HELL. He throws burning coals on the<br />
souls of the damned or tortures them with flames. In lore,<br />
Ukobach is the lamp oil for the jack-o’-lantern.<br />
Um Es Sibyan Arabian DEMON who, as does LILITH, preys<br />
upon newborn children. Um Es Sibyan has the body of a<br />
chicken, the face of a human, and the chest of a camel. She<br />
flies through the air at night crying, “Warh, warh warh.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> sound is a death omen to any child who hears it. Parents<br />
can ward off the demon by sounding, “Tchlok, tchlok,<br />
tchlok” until it passes by.<br />
