Ušumgallu
Ušumgallu or Ushumgallu (Sumerian: ''ušum.gal'', "Great Dragon") was one of the three horned snakes in Akkadian mythology, along with the Bashmu and Mushmahhu. Usually described as a lion-dragon demon, it has been somewhat speculatively identified with the four-legged, winged dragon of the late 3rd millennium .
==Mythology==
Tiamat is said to have “clothed the raging lion-dragons with fearsomeness” in the Epic of Creation, Enuma Elish. The god Nabû was described as “he who tramples the lion-dragon” in the hymn to Nabû.〔KAR 104, 29.〕 The late neo-Assyrian text “Myth of the Seven Sages" recalls: “The fourth (of the seven apkallu’s, “sages,” is) Lu-Nanna, (only) two-thirds Apkallu, who drove the ''ušumgallu''-dragon from É-ninkarnunna, the temple of Ištar of Šulgi.”
Aššur-nāṣir-apli II placed golden icons of ušumgallu at the pedestal of Ninurta. Its name became a royal and divine epithet, for example: ''ušumgal kališ parakkī'', “unrivaled ruler of all the sanctuaries.” Marduk is called “the ''ušumgallu''-dragon of the great heavens.”
