In Akkadian mythology, the utukki were seven evil demons, the offspring of Anu and Antu. They were siblings of the Anunnaki. They were in the service of the underworld, and were required to fetch home the fruit of the sacrifices and burnt offerings, which generally consisted of the blood, liver, and other 'sweetmeats' of the sacrificed animal.
Compare with the Sumerian utukku.
Utukki: Babylonian Mythology Was Never So Bishounen is a manga web comic based on the myth of the utukki.
