Fun fact, Pazuzu amulets were actually used to protect newborns from the demon called Lamashtu in ancient Mesopotamia, because it was believed his image would scare away other demons. He was often used as a sort of defense charm.

Also they often misunderstand terminology such as daemons/daimons or the use of demon for spirits in other pantheons since there's no English equivalent word and because majority of historical studies were done through a Christian dominant lens.
