Humbaba

Humbaba is a character in King of Heroes, a fearsome demon who guards the Cedar Forest forb idden to mortals. Humbaba's seven garments produce an aura that paralyzes with fear anyone who would withstand him. He is the personification of awesome natural power and menace. His mouth is fire, he roars like a flood, and he breaths death, much like an erupting volcano. In his very last moments he acquires personality and pathos, when he pleads cunningly for his life.
