Devourer of the Dead

[ethertrinity]

If people partake in acts of evil and seemingly recieve no visible punishment, trust that their heart’s will be weighed by the scales of Ma’at and then truly, Justice will be done.

Ammit is a creature from ancient Egyptian mythology. A funerary deity, she combined the features of the three largest man-eating animals known to the people of the time; the lion, the hippopotamus and the crocodile.

Known as "the Devourer of the Dead," Ammit lived in the underworld near the scales of justice. She would weigh the hearts of those who died against a feather from Ma'at, the goddess of truth. If the heart was judged impure, Ammit would devour it, cursing the deceased to limbo.

I have had a concept for an animated short for awhile that I hope to someday create. Ammit is involved, so here’s a design reference.
