Lamassu are also known as Shedu or Sedu in ancient texts, they are a species of ancient guardians and protectors. They have the body of a lion or ox (depending on the region & time period), enormous bird wings that can take them into flight, and a human head (male or female) which is usually accompanied by ringlets of black curls topped with a decorative turban or hat. They are watchers who pay special and particular attention to everything around them.
They can see into the hearts of others and know their true intentions, this gives them a decided edge over their enemies. They are intense protectors who take magickal measures to combat anyone who comes into their territory with evil intentions. They are large in size and were formidable opponents for most evil beings. Because of their incredible capabilities they were often tasked with guarding sacred sites, temples and caches of treasure.
