In Akkadian mythology the Rabisu ("the lurker"; Sumerian 𒉺𒁽Maškim, "deputy, attorney"[1]), 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.[2]
