Crocodile God

Sobek, also known as Suchus, was an ancient Egyptian deity with a complex history and nature. He is associated with the Nile crocodile and is often represented as a crocodile-headed humanoid, if not as a crocodile outright. Sobek was also associated with pharaonic power, fertility, and military prowess, but served additionally as a protective deity with apotropaic qualities, invoked especially for protecting others from the dangers presented by the Nile.
