Character
Pazuzu
Pazuzu in Futurama (1999), played by David Herman.
Pazuzu appears as a minor figure in the sprawling world of Futurama, voiced by David Herman, one of the show's ensemble players known for filling out its background with odd, memorable one-off characters. Details of a specific storyline are thin, but the name itself carries an air of menace borrowed from older mythology.
Futurama's strength has always been its willingness to toss out strange, evocative names and voices for characters who exist only briefly, trusting a small vocal turn to land a joke or a mood. David Herman's versatility as a performer for the show means even a fleeting role like this one arrives fully formed, odd and specific rather than generic.
Pazuzu is Professor Farnsworth's gargoyle. He is dark red with dark purple wings, yellow eyes and light red horns and has a son. He escapes Professor Farnsworth and flies off to an unknown place. Professor Farnsworth goes after him, but then forgets and Pazuzu isn't then mentioned until the end of the episode.
