Pazuzu is a demon-God entity from ancient Mesopotamia, a personification of the southwestern wind, and a recurring character in the Gorillaz universe. He usually appears as a statue, as graffiti or as printed design sometimes with the words "Choose Pazuzu" underneath.
He is depicted with a mix of animal and human parts making up his anatomy. He has a serpentine penis, horns of a gazelle, human ears, two wings and bird talons. He is also usually shown with his right hand up and left hand down.
