Types of Demons (and angels)

“Mesopotamia”

The Levant is arguably the homeland of demonkind, or at least the first civilization to take detailed notes on their religion.

Rabisu, Rabasa

(wiki) Lurker demons (Akkadian: Rabisu = “the lurker,” Sumerian: Maskim, “deputy/attorney”). These demons lurked near the entrances to houses or in dark places. They’re also called “seizers,” or “crouchers,” possibly related to the spirit mentioned in Genesis 4: 6-7, “if you do well, you can hold up your head, sin is a demon lurking at the door.” These are demons that lie in wait and pounce on their victims. One named rabisu is Sulak, the demon of the lavoratory.
