In Turkish, "Dabbe" generally refers to a creature or a being. However, in the context of Islamic eschatology, "Dabbet-ul Arz" is mentioned in the Quran, and it is often translated as "The Beast of the Earth." This creature is believed to have emerged near the end of times with signs related to the Day of Judgment. The term "Dabbe" in the context of the Turkish horror movie series is derived from this religious reference, though the movies take creative liberties with the concept.
