In one tale, Erra threatens him when he neglects his duties, but conflict is averted by the priest Ishum. The "King of the Igigi", his weapons include Imhullu the tempest and the Abuba, the volcano. He rides a chariot pulled by Slayer, Pitiless, Racer and Flyer, and he was born as an adult with four eyes and four ears. He split the Anunnaki into 300 to guard the sky and 600 to live on earth, and Marukka and Tutu are among the fifty names given him by Anshar. His mother was Damkina, and his father had earlier killed Mummu, and used a sleeping spell to kill Apsu. After Anu's failed peace-keeping attempt, he succeeds in killing Kingu and then seizes the Tablet of Destinies. Then he defeats Tiamat, using her to make the heavens and the earth. For 10 points, name this central figure of the Enuma Elish, the chief god of Babylonian mythology.
