She has been mentioned in two sources in Lore, but having her weakened and imprisoned by Pazuzu is kind of boring since she's supposed to be a powerful demon god in her own right, so maybe there could be an adventure where a demonic cult sets her free. I would associate her with Monstrosities and Monstrous Humanoids like her portrayal in Pathfinder since that was somewhat implied in what little lore there was about her in D&D. I would also associate her with seduction, death and disease like in her actual mythology. I might also associate her with Vampires due to her drinking blood in mythology.
Well, I had thought of that a little while ago. And it is weird how D&D Lamia are based on both the Greek mythological figure, Lamia and the Middle Eastern Lamia.
Like I said before my version of Lamashtu will have traits of the Pathfinder version which is like Lilith being the Mother of Monsters and the Mythological version which caused diseases, miscarriages and cot deaths as well as seducing and devouring men. She has an affinity for Demons such as succubi, incubi, nalfeshnees, barlguras, dretches, hezrous and manes.
Maybe if I use her as a basis in an adventure her worshippers could be Lamia, Minotaurs, Gnolls, Medusae, Harpies and Vampires. Maybe I could adapt the Ekimmu from 2nd edition into the adventure since it was also inspired by Babylonian Mythology. Another thing I could do is use lilitu demons that were sent by Lamashtu to corrupt congregations into worshipping her.

I would associate her with lamia, since the D&D lamia is pretty confused anyway.

Besides the Lamia I would take a page out of pathfinder and have Lamashtu also be worshipped by Minotaurs, Gnolls, Medusae and Harpies.
Yeah, it's pretty dark.
