Description Laḫmu (the “Hairy One”) was one of the monstrous children/demons of Tiamat in the Babylonian creation story of Enûma Eliš. Lahmu is typically depicted as a bearded man, but that's a little boring. His name might have meant "the muddy one" long ago in Sumerian times. I was inspired by a mix of an Elasmotherium, a woman wearing 1980's shoulder pads, and Johnny Joestar/Coral Blue Semi-Gloss Lipstick    
He's also one of my favorites

XD "oh no! Not the Hairy one!"

I still kind of like some of these names and how vague and weird they are.
