Are Labubus Haunted: If you haven’t spotted a Labubu dangling from a saddlebaglately, are you even online? These cute furry monster dolls are taking over feeds everywhere and have quickly become the accessory of the moment, with celebrities like Rihanna, Cher, Lisa, and Kim Kardashian flaunting them on their handbags.
However, these same dolls are now being linked to Pazuzu, a Mesopotamian demon. Conspiracy theories circulating online claim that Labubus carry “demonic energy,” and some people have even started burning them out of fear. Several theories are making the rounds on social media, adding to the panic. But why exactly are these cute dolls suddenly being called demonic? Let’s take a closer look at this controversial theory.
Are Labubus Haunted?
We are living in an era of strange trends, and one of the latest is Labubu dolls. These mischievous, rabbit-like toys were created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, inspired by Nordic folklore. Originally designed as playful forest elves, Labubus have recently taken a dark turn online, with some people now claiming they are demonic.
Though Kasing Lung has explained that Labubu dolls are inspired by Nordic elves, TikTokers and content creators on Instagram don’t believe the story is that simple. Many claim the dolls are cursed, evil, or even dangerous. According to some religious creators, any folklore that doesn’t originate from Christianity is considered ‘pagan’ and therefore, demonic. As a result, Labubu dolls have started to be seen as a threat within certain Christian communities.

Pazuzu is often depicted with a lion-like face, bird talons, wings, and a demon like appearance. The demon even appeared in the 1973 horror movie, ‘The Exorcist.’ The wild online frenzy started on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), where users began comparing Labubu dolls’ features to those of this mythical figure.

One X user dramatically wrote, “Labubu = Pazuzu. Do not invite demons into your home.” Some people are even burning their Labubus or blessing them with holy water to “cleanse” any supposed evil energy. Others believe the demon theory explains why these dolls became popular so quickly in the first place.

“I’m not superstitious, I’m a little stitious, but I’d never buy a Labubu. It’s inspired by Pazuzu, the demon that possessed the girl in The Exorcist,” one person wrote on X.

However, the link between Labubu and Pazuzu appears to be based purely on speculation and misinformation, with no real evidence to support the claims of any demonic connection.
Of course, Labubus are not everyone’s cup of tea, with their sharp teeth and wide grin, they can look a bit creepy but calling them demonic might be taking it a little too far. The theory has gained so much traction that some Christians have started urging people to get rid of their dolls altogether.
While many people are making memes about it, others think the whole theory is completely unnecessary. Either way, Labubu has taken on an almost mythical status in people’s minds, and it looks like it’s here to stay.
