Sokth

In the religion of ancient Nehekhara, Sokth was considered the treacherous God of the Scorpions and protector of the Poisoners, Assassins and Thieves. Sokth may appear as a scorpion, or as a man with dark skin and black eyes.

Although their sacred animals were scorpions and scorpions, it was considered that of all species, the black scorpion of the desert were the sons of Sokth, and that they liked to take refuge among the living and to torment them with their frightful stings. The venom of the black scorpion made a person's body stiff as a stone, dying in distressed silence, unable to utter a single sound as the venom made its way to his heart. The ancient Nehekharians believed that scorpions never stung Sokth's followers.

Yet, despite being the protector of the thieves, Sokth forbade stealing from the dead, so his legions of black scorpions used to protect the royal tombs. Today, the lifeless carcasses of these creatures can be seen in funeral swarms.
