In Akkadian mythology the Rabisu ("the lurker"; Sumerian Maškim, "deputy, attorney"), or possibly Rabasa, are vampiric spirits, daimons, or demons. The Rabisu are associated in mythology with the Curse of Akkad. A consistent translation of "Rabisu" is "Lingerers". The Rabisu, whether intending malicious actions or not, linger around those who have been found wayward or to be rewarded by the deity Enlil.
==Description== The spirit identified by the Akkadians as "Rabisu" is not an inherently evil spirit. Despite the Hebrew Bible referring to demons as evil by nature, the demonology expressed by the Akkadians suggests that Rabisu, rather than being an entity of evil, was "a neutral being that is nothing other than a current of wind dispatched by the deities to perform certain duties". Rather, the Rabisu was a spirit sent out to correct the transgressions committed by humans.
