Legend had it that the beast was created by the Egyptian god, Sobek, who imbued the creature with his own immense power. Sobek was the god of fertility, water, and renewal, and was often depicted as a crocodile-headed man.
He was revered by the ancient Egyptians for his power over the Nile, which provided the life-giving waters that sustained their civilization.
Sobekhemoth was a manifestation of Sobek's wrath, a fearsome beast that could wreak havoc upon any who dared to challenge the god's authority.
According to the myth, the Sobekhemoth would only awaken from its slumber when the Nile was threatened and would emerge from the depth to defend its patron deity.
The Sobekhemoth turned and looked at the humans that looked like ants and growled and took a step forward.
