Ilulu is a being in Mesopotamian folklore, from Mesopotamia. Ilulu is a name attested for two distinct referents in the supplied sources: (1) a historical rival claimant (also rendered Elulu) in the Sumerian King List who, with three others, contested the kingship of Akkad during a brief post‑Shar‑Kali‑Sharri interregnum in the early 3rd millennium BC; and (2) a contemporary fictional character — a dragon called Ilulu — appearing in the Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid franchise as a 'chaos dragon' who takes human form and becomes a maid in Kobayashi's household.
Mesopotamian: In the Sumerian King List tradition Ilulu (also rendered Elulu) appears as one of four rival claimants—alongside Igigi, Imi, and Nanum—who vied for the kingship of Akkad during a three‑year period following the death of Shar‑Kali‑Sharri; the chaotic episode ended with the accession of Dudu. The King List frames Ilulu as a mortal political actor rather than a supernatural origin figure. Modern fictional: In the Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid franchise Ilulu is introduced as a dragon from another world who enters the human world, adopts human form, and becomes a maid in Kobayashi's household; this is a creation of contemporary media rather than a traditional mythic origin.
Mesopotamian: The King List sources provide no physical description and present Ilulu as a named political claimant. Modern fictional: Ilulu is depicted in franchise coverage as a dragon who can assume human form; in that form she is described as a petite girl with an extremely ample bust and youthful stature, design elements emphasized in episode coverage and fan commentary.
Mesopotamian: No supernatural abilities are attributed in the King List summaries; Ilulu's recorded behaviors are political—contending for kingship during a three‑year period of rivalry. Modern fictional: Sources describe Ilulu as a dragon from another world with a mischievous and chaotic temperament who causes trouble but seeks social bonds and undergoes a partial redemption arc; specific supernatural powers commonly associated with dragons are implied by franchise context but are not detailed in the supplied materials and therefore remain undocumented/uncertain in these sources.

Abel Cain

The supplied materials do not present Abishai as a supernatural being within a living cosmology.
