What a hero. The Lion Man of the Latrine, the Protector of Pottygoers, the Beast of the Bathroom, the Best in the Restroom. When nature calls, he protects the stalls.

Oh so THAT is why my kitties wanna watch me when I’m on the porcelain throne! They are descendants of Urmahlullu! 😂

Only the Summerians could make guarding the toilets sound like a badass job.😂

Toilet Guardian

If these guys can keep my nightmare scenario of spiders hiding under the toilet seat from happening, then I salute them 😊

Urmahlullu is truly The People's Protector. May his mane be foever revered, his paws clean, and his pride unblemished.

When using the toilet you really are at your most vulnerable so for those times you really do need a guardian.

As a man currently on the toilet watching this, I approve. Thanks Urmahlullu

7:41 The bathroom/toilet is actually one of the most common places/rooms to die in!(it has something to do with how your heart rate and blood pressure drop when your ‘doing your business ‘ and shoot back up when you go back to standing)

I like to think whenever a toilet flushes, that's Urmahlullu roaring in approval.

Crazy that so early in human history we made such creative and nuanced stories

Midway through this it occurs to me Urmalula's post is a fairly noble if not glamorous one, folks are at their most vulnerable on the pot so having a hulking man-lion at the ready is pretty clutch

one must imagine the mythical toilet guardian happy

This has to be one of the most bizarre myths I’ve seen in this show.

I would like to point out, in Japan, oni often do get turned to doing good like guarding temples and the like. That's definitely a thing that (mythically) happens!

If you're watching this while on the toilet may the Lion man give you strength

Sometimes the toilet really is a battleground

"Eat s----, Šulak." - Urmahlullu

So you're telling me when i hit the tacobell i unintentionally start a battle between to lion dudes?

From now on .. anyone who has problems in the bathroom should say "I have a touch of the Shooluck" in honor of the OTHER lion man.

As someone with a poop disease, I appreciate Urmahlullu's fight for us.

This is a lesson itself. No matter your job, you have a strong purpose and many people may need or be thankful for you, but many may not. Be proud because what you do is what you make of it. PS: BTW ty so much for protecting my toilet, i fear what may become of me if not

I have a deep fear of being on the toilet during an emergency (fire, earthquake, etc.) so maybe I should toss the liondude a few prayers.

Is this the weird time to tell you I'm the songwriter for a metalcore/deathcore toilet themed band and you just gave me a new song idea 😅

A guardian that protects us when we are at our most vulnerable? He might be a lion man but he's a GOAT in my books.

Urmahlullu, not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need!

Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.

So that’s where the scorpion man that Gilgamesh encountered came from. Thanks

Now this is real mythology

He is a guardian that protects all men on their peaceful “Thrones”

Guarding you from lion attacks while on the toilet seems like a weirdly niche and unnecessary role, but he's actually just really good at it. If he took a week off, it'd be lion central. The amount of cat hair in the sewerage alone would be a distaster. Its a real Odin and Frost Giants situation here. You ever see a frost giant?

Urmahlulu: "NOW I FIGHT AS URMAHLULU, WARRIOR!" Loathesome Dungeater: "...understandablehaveaniceday" THE LOUSY, LEACHEROUS LOO-LEACHER.

Seeing an episode on the Mead of Poetry would be amazing: The Norse God's spit in a cup and that spit becomes the smartest of all God's. He then travels around the world helping people until 2 dwarves kill him and brew some mead with his blood. Drinking this blood mead turns them into natural poets. One day a man and woman come by, the dwarves drown one at sea and smash the others head in with a rock. Their son threatens to kill them so they give him the blood mead. He then stores it in the middle of a mountain guarded by his daughter. Odin, after hearing all this, goes to get the mead. He finds 9 labourers and offers a magic scythe to the one left standing after a fight to the death. They all kill each other and Odin offers to till the land for the entire summer in exchange for a 3 sips of the mead, since the landowner was the brother of the owner of the mead, he accepted. One summer later the land owner helps Odin get into the mountain and after turning into a snake and seducing the daughter he drinks all of the mead and flies away. He then barfs all the mead back up, most of it out of his mouth but another portion out of his anus, thus creating 2 different meads of poetry. Odin then gave the Mead that came out of his mouth to the God's.

So THAT'S why bathroom spiders are always so docile...

Nobody needs a toilet guardian until a reticulated jormagandr comes out of the drain

it's really strangely nice that urmahlullu and his "brothers" weren't the usual "enemies" that heroes have to be killed for the good of the world, but it's a bit ridiculous that a "leon-taur= leonine centaur" was the guardian of the WC, I hope for him didn't have to check the sewers too, where that demon of Šulak, remain to rot there.

Who would have guessed that monster would become protector of my ass

Urmahlullu being guardian of toilets reminds me of how in Game of Thrones Tyrion Lannister was put in charge of all the plumbing in Casterly Rock by his father Tywin. A most highborn plumber.

He lost one of his fights at Erfurt in 1184

This might be my favorite extra mythology ever

Tywin Lannister: The very sigil of my family is a lion, yet you let me die on the toilet? Urmahlullu: I protect people from Shulak, not their own sons. Should've been a better dad!

"I AM THE GUARDIAN OF THE TOILET!" 😂😂😂 Epic! 🤣🤣🤣

With the amount of time I spend on the can, Urmahlullu has definitely been looking out for me. Thank you for your service, Guardian of the Toilet! 🤭

The Lion in the Loo. Urma-Loo-Loo. I had heard a lot about Mesopotamia (Gilgamesh, Inanna and the Underworld, Enuma Elish, that corrupt copper merchant, the "dog walks into an alehouse" joke), but this guardian of the privy has sadly been forgotten. Thank you for rescuing him for oblivion. Like the Japanese Akaname, this one has potential. Think about him the next time you are doing your business on the potty. Oh, and BTW, Loo is British English for toilets.

The guardian of sanitation

Sadly, Urmahlullu was unable to protect Elvis.

I love toilet gaurdians

Well if he keeps away the giant toilet spiders, I salute him.

I actually had to use the toilet as soon as the video started, so thank you Urmahlullu for keeping me safe enough to enjoy this awesome tale!

Now we know what the noise in the toilet is.😅

I love these midweek episodes guys! They always make my day 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

"It's a crappy job, but someone had to do it."

Why do they call it a restroom? I'm fighting for my life in here!

The WHO “Diarrhoeal disease is a leading cause of child mortality and morbidity in the world” sounds like it’s a fair fight

Best. Myth. EVER!!! 😂❤

Is that the reason dogs and cats follow you to the toilet? To help in the fight against evil.

I love the idea of the guardian also showing up to threaten those with subpar hand hygiene after doing their business 😅

"What do you think when you hear that there's a monster in the story?" Me: New friend! "Yeah, you usually think it'll die. Me: Am I too optimistic, or is it just that I've been playing pokemon recently? ... Nah, I just want a monster friend. :)

This story was written by a person whose cats fought under the door 😾😼😸

Prev unknown benefit to my being incontinent: I am immune to attacks from Shulock :P

Lion man of Babylon, there he sat down,...

Great, now I'm thinking of Urmahlullu if he was created by Shin Megami Tensei fusion. Not sure what class he would fall into, but I'm thinking he'd be a fusion of Pazuzu, Barong, Kanbari, and Belphegor.

You missed a trick not making the pun 'Guardians of the Lavatory'

I wonder if this is where Lionel gets his toilet fascination from in Animal Crossing...

As odd as it sounds, the Egyptian t it a step further and made it an actual job: the Guardian of the pharao's anus. It was considered an extremely influential and respected duty and highly regarded

3:28 Ah, I see someone knows their Mummy franchise. :)

Not the toilets noooo!

Missing from Steven King's "Dream Catcher Movie" Also "AAAHHH Real monsters"

Sorry if this is TMI, but I think Šulak was haunting me today, I’ve had some painful diarrhea!

Loved this!

I mean. The person who guards you when you are vulnerable. Sounds like a proud job.

.... did the babylonians personify the sound of their echoing farts in the latrine?

Marduk seems like a really chill god-king

This is my new favorite myth! ❤

Damn. That is some good work.

This was HILARIOUS, THX FOR THE LOL😂😂😂😂

Shulok has been kickin my rear for awhile after some great tacos last night.. Where are you Urmahluullu, you are my only hope

7:23 That jokes about Elvis being taken by the toilet demon caught me off guard 😂😂😂

Would honestly be down for more toilet themed myths

I think the monster stories of Babylon are interesting not because of what they contain, but what they teach, they seem to have the moral of reformation and not condemnation, which is strange for an ancient civilization

He protects us at our most vulnerable.

Amazing video! Never stop beign awesome guys!🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊

I need to buy a lion-centaur figurine to decorate my bathroom with.

Tywin lannister died on the toilet. That day he truly shat gold

Thank you Extra History for giving me the perfect myth to watch whilst on the toilet.

A monster getting a job? So an autobiography?

Tyrion Lanister can bribe anyone, it seems.

Ah… finally an explanation of where the term “loo” (UrmahlulLU) came from! 🧐

I'm now realising how much of Datk Souls 1 seems to be based on Babylonian mythology... So I guess we have Seath to thank for half the boss battles...

Damn scibidi toilet in ancient times

The hero we need

PANR has tuned in.

Best....story.......EVER!!!!!!

I thought this was going to be about some myth that inspired that Legend of Zelda Hand in the Toilet asking for Toilet paper, but I am not disappointed with what I watched.

Beautiful

So springing this on a player next time I DM. "Right I gotta go to the latrine..." *COSMIC LION MAN FIGHT ENSUES*

That a very interesting myth. I love it. Man-lion protek me from Lion-man.😂

Cool to hear abought these guardian monsters👍

That episode was priceless. 😏 ⚔️🚽⚔️
