When one hears "Unusual Ancient Egyptian God" you rarely ever think "Snake With Legs" but this one is just that, and was considered a demon!

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the snake is both a protector and a symbol of chaos. The cobra, for instance, was associated with royalty and divine power, often appearing on the pharaoh's headdress.

The oracular tradition may have originated with the oracle of the Egyptian goddess Wadjet at Per-Wadjet (modern-day Desouk, near Alexandria). Wadjet was depicted as a snake, usually an Egyptian cobra.

Archaeologists have discovered the "richly decorated" tomb of an ancient Egyptian dignitary that is filled with magic spells aimed at protecting against snake bites.
