Alal ("destroyer" or "spirit") is one of a group of seven demons working in unison from Chaldean and Sumerian demonology. Named in the Magan Text as one of the servants of Ereshkigal, the goddess of death and gloom, this Aerial Devil cannot be prevented from entering into a person's home, and when it does so will induce men to sin. He also has the ability to possess a person. Alal lives in the desert and in abandoned places of worship where sacrifices took place.
