For reasons that I will be keeping personal for the most part, I will be leaving the Kemetic Pagan path and moving to a more Norse-centered one. This means I won't be posting Kemetic-related things anymore. I'm very sorry if that's what you primarily follow me for! But for me it's time to move on to something else.

I will be adding all of my Kemetic tags to this post so you can see things about specific Kemetic deities or topics if you would like to.

Thank you to everyone who has joined me on my journey so far! It's been a pleasure, and I hope you stick around 💕

Mythology Fact #1 - Sobek, Egyptian Crocodile God

NEW SERIES! Mythology Facts will explore many elements of world mythologies, but with a particular focus on Greek, Egyptian, and Norse, especially at the start.

Easily the winner of the first poll about this new series as held on my Patreon is Sobek, the ancient Egyptian crocodile-headed god!

Head of a limestone statue of Sobek, as previously on display at the Met as part of a special collection; Met info on the statue head here

In ancient Egypt, like many ancient cultures, the most fearsome of beasts were highly regarded for their awe-inspiring endurance, power, and ferocity - a concept often little-understood today, as animals are now often seen as obstacles to be conquered or put out of the way, hence why it can occasionally be difficult to detail to the modern mind the relationship between men and wolves throughout history (but I'm not on that right now, so I'll stop). The people of ancient Egypt held great reverence for many animals, not least among them being the obviously very dangerous crocodile.

An integral part of life in ancient Egypt was the rise and fall of the Nile. Sobek was a centerpiece of the Nile life - crocodiles were abundant, a testament to their fertility and virility, and they were fearsome, strong, and enduring. Sobek's nature is intensely complex and his "domains," as we so often think of deities as having, were extensive, including but not limited to fertility, virility, illness, health, strength, pharonic power, military might, protection (especially protection from, essentially, bad luck), and the dangers and wonders of the Nile. By nature, he was considered animalistic, unpredictable, strong, protective but dangerous, and highly sexual, aspects frequently associated with the most powerful predators in a given region (notice all those things are also associated with wolves). Sobek was depicted variably as a crocodile and a crocodile-headed man, and holy crocodiles were kept in his name.

Given his association with the Nile and so many other things, Sobek was and mostly remained a very important figure, especially with his later fusion with/association with both Horus and Ra, two extremely important deities...

This is quite the lengthy post! More under the cut.

Among many other things, Sobek was said to have power of the fertility of the Nile's soil, as well as its waters, and thus also had great power over disease, as the Nile could also cause illnesses. Like so many ancient Egyptian deities, Sobek also had an association with the dead, being called upon to bring them sight and return their senses in the afterlife, as well as to assist in protecting them (along with many other deities, including but certainly not limited to Isis, Nephthys, and Anubis).

Sobek's strong association with fertility is found in his many epithets and even the name we use for him most - "Sobek" is thought to perhaps even come from a causative of "to impregnate" (though some scholars contend it instead means "to unite," especially in relation to the pieces of Osiris). Perhaps the first instance we have of Sobek in a text comes from the Pyramid Texts, in which a spell refers to Unis (the pharaoh) as a living incarnation of Sobek - the pharaohs were very often living incarnations of assorted deities at various times - and says that Unis "will copulate" very specifically and that he is the lord of something that would probably get this post censored, "who takes women from their husbands to the place Unis likes according to his heart's fancy."

Mummified crocodiles found in the Temple of Kom Ombo; we have found mummified crocodiles of all ages, even including fertilized eggs

Now let's talk about a thing called the petsuchos. Mummified crocodiles served as images of Sobek in various forms, one of which being Petsuchos, meaning "son of Sobek." It is thought one crocodile in particular took on the aspect of the petsuchos and was kept in Shedet, replaced by a new petsuchos whenever the previous died. Following the death of a holy crocodile, a great ritual took place to mummify the creature and then put it on display, as it remained ever sacred. Living crocodiles were sometimes kept in other temples and holy places, even including outdoor pools. They were adorned with gems and fed delicacies; some were even considered attractions, as feeding the holy crocodile brought good luck, given Sobek's apotropaic nature. There was even a divine crocodile breeding center established by Amenhotep III (who pushed the Sobek cult quite energetically).

There are many depictions of Sobek found throughout what we have of ancient Egypt, including many of its time periods. He is perhaps one of the oldest gods of ancient Egypt, having appeared as early as during the reign of King Narmer in the first dynasty. His importance during the Old Kingdom, as well, can be found in the Pyramid Texts. The entire region of Fayum was a cult center of Sobek, so great was his importance, the seat of which was - of course - the capital, Crocodilopolis or Shedet.

Also very worthy of note is Sobek-Ra, a combination of the gods Sobek and Ra, that appeared in very late-age Egypt in the New Kingdom (1150-1069 BC), and even continued into the Ptolemaic Period (around 332 BC to 390 AD). Sobek-Ra (or Sobek-Re if you want to go that way) may have first appeared during the reign of the first king of the Middle Kingdom, Montuhotep II, as addressed in the Coffin Texts used during the Middle Kingdom (in which Sobek is addressed as "he who rises in the east and sets in the west"). As a combination, depictions thereof often had the head of a falcon but the body of a crocodile, often wearing the solar disc and uraeus (cobra).

He combined aspects of both deities, which is also perhaps thanks to Sobek's association also with Horus. When Horus took on the aspect of a crocodile during his retrieval of Osiris's bodyparts, Sobek became associated with him, even considered an aspect of Horus. Likewise, however, Sobek also was said to have assisted Isis during Horus's birth. Such deity fusions, aspects, and deities becoming an aspect and/or appearing in various myths in nebulous forms were not uncommon in ancient Egypt, and Sobek was also combined with Horus at assorted other points. All of this continues to point to the association between Sobek and kings (pharaohs), especially when you reach the point of learning about Sobek of Shedet-Ra-Horus, but I won't go into all that here due to time constraints.

So, obviously, there's so much more to say that it's, frankly, crazy and almost overwhelming. The study of ancient Egypt is a complex undertaking, hence why we have an entire field called Egyptology. So, consider this very much a simplified overview. Hope you enjoyed the post!

Swimming Lessons.

(Sobek x Twin! GN! Reader)

The Egyptian god and new father Sobek teaches his two twin toddlers how to swim, starting with you!

It was particularly hot and sunny in Faiyum today. The midsummer sun was unrelenting, so much so that even the local crocodiles decided to dwell in the river that day, watching the proceedings with lazy eyes peering above the surface. The air was thick with the smell of dust, sand, and river mud. The Hawara pyramid loomed above the channel, though it provided no shade to retreat under.

Sweat dripped down the bronzed expanse of Sobek's back as he cast his golden eyes toward the water. His bare feet sunk into the silt of the riverbed, cool dark water lapping over his skin. The channel water was calm today, though that did little to calm his suspicions of water snakes or monitor lizards or Nile perch. Normally, these creatures would be inconsequential to such a god, able to compel fierce crocodiles with only a scalding glare and an utterance of his tongue. But, his children have yet to command such obedience from their subjects. They hadn't even fully grown into their scales yet.

At 16 months, Sobek's twins were still small and weak, little more than wobbling bundles of freckles and giggles. On their tanned shoulders and backs, emergences of reptilian scales found a similar pattern to their father's. Though they had yet to show any more signs of their godly heritage, Sobek was still proud of them.

"Alright, my little croclets," Sobek rumbled, his voice a comforting purr that echoed across the river. He tossed a stick into the water, satisfied with the lack of response from below. Stepping away from the mucky shore, he approached his twins in the reeds.

His little boy contentedly munched on an immature lotus stalk, while you were busy creating small mounds of slippery mud. Sobek, with a casual air, plucked the chewed-up stem from his son's mouth.

"Today, we're going to learn how to swim!" Sobek declared, the excitement in his voice contagious.

You and your little brother looked up with wide eyes at the sound of your father's voice. Your brother, though, was more concerned about the confiscated lotus, and his tiny lips trembled as Sobek continued. You, on the other hand, returned to your architectural endeavors, mud dripping down your small arms.

Your father continued, his booming voice and showmanship something you were deeply accustomed to. "Now, some may argue, 'Sobek! Your little ones are too young to swim!' But I beg to differ! For the offspring of The Lord of the Waterway carry the river in their veins, a birthright bestowed upon them by the oasis of Faiyum itself!"

With an air of theatricality, Sobek gestured dramatically toward the river, as if the water itself were a stage awaiting his divine command. The midsummer sun glistened on his skin, accentuating the regal aura that surrounded the god of the waterway.

Sobek continued his dramatics, his voice resonating over the hills and scattered palm trees with a force that even the birds found unsettling. Yet, you had long tuned it out, more entranced by the intricate mote you were trying to create around your mud pyramid.

"In the ages of our ancestors, we—hey, hey! Are you even listenin' to me?"

With a huff, you reluctantly tore your gaze away from your artistic endeavor, only to find your father's snout inches away from your button nose. His golden eyes bore into yours with an intensity that demanded focus. "I'm tryin' to give you both a pep talk here, and I'd appreciate the attention, aye?"

With all the cuteness and distraction your toddler self could muster, you giggled, extending a mud-covered hand to rest on your father's snout.

Sobek's stern expression softened at your endearing gesture. A chuckle rumbled from his chest, the sound a blend of paternal pride and amusement. "Alright, little river architect, I suppose the charm offensive works."

He playfully nudged your hand with his snout, the mud smearing onto his scales. As he stood back up, he wiped off the mud with a short, dramatic gesture.

"Now, back to the grand announcement!" Sobek proclaimed, his voice carrying a hint of theatrical flair. "Swimming lessons commence!"

With a flourish, Sobek reached up to take off his atef crown, stepping over his toddler son to place it on a high branch where his mischievous and teething children could not get it. The crown gleamed under the harsh sun, a symbol of his godly authority temporarily set aside for the more pressing matter at hand – teaching his little ones the ways of the river.

You, engrossed in your architectural endeavor, were content to continue building sentries around your mud pyramid. However, your plans were abruptly interrupted as your father's strong hands scooped you up from under your arms. A whine escaped your lips as he lifted you, carrying you away from your mud-crafted masterpiece.

"Now, [Y/N], as the firstborn, it's your duty to show your brother the ropes," Sobek declared with pride, his steps deliberate as he moved toward the channel water. You kicked your chubby legs in a display of toddler disdain, wishing you could argue that being born three minutes earlier didn't necessarily make you the teacher.

Sobek, undeterred by your protest, maintained his firm hold as he waded into the water. Your brother, clutching another pilfered lotus stalk, observed the scene with wide eyes, curious about the impending swimming lesson.

As Sobek ventured deeper into the channel, the cool water embraced his legs, its refreshing touch a stark contrast to the blistering heat on the banks. In his secure grasp, you squirmed, your chubby legs kicking in a futile attempt at rebellion. The water's coolness sent a shiver through your tiny frame, the temperature difference momentarily discomforting.

"Now, my Nile niblet, watch closely," Sobek urged his voice a blend of encouragement and excitement. "Feel the water, let it become a part of you."

With deliberate care, he gently lowered you into the water until your legs were completely submerged. Another shiver passed through you as the cool sensation enveloped your small form. You whined softly, your small muddied fingers gripping your father's warm chest as you stared into the murky water, the mysteries below hidden from your curious gaze.

"There you go, my little river sprite," Sobek praised, his voice carrying across the water like a gentle breeze. "Now, let's see those little legs of yours do their thing."

With that, Sobek began to guide your movements, your stout legs attempting to find purchase in the gentle current. You felt the water supporting you, and with each wobbly kick, the uncertainty dwindled.

Sobek, the proud father with the closest thing he could get to a smile on his crocodile head, adjusted his grip. He held you securely against his chest, your little legs finding purchase on either side of his sturdy torso. With one hand supporting you, the other reached down and scooped up some water, letting the cool river water cascade over your head. The refreshing sensation wet your hair and face, mirroring the tender moments when he bathed you and your brother.

"Now, little Nile nymph, feel the river's touch. Let it embrace you," Sobek whispered, his voice a soothing rumble against the backdrop of gently flowing water.

With gentle movements, he began to wash off the mud caked onto your hands and arms from your earlier excursions. The water trickled down your hair and your eyelids as your father scrubbed between each tiny finger. The tickling sensation of Sobek's hands rubbing your fingertips elicited joy, and you couldn't help but giggle, kicking your feet that were still partially submerged in the water.

Sobek's eyes, gleaming with paternal pride, met yours as he finished up his gentle washing. "There you go, my little crocodile-in-trainin', clean as a whistle, you are."

He hugged you close to him, pressing your cheek against his damp chest. The weight of his snout resting on the top of your head was a comforting embrace, and you sighed contentedly.

Then, he pulled away slightly, as if remembering the task at hand. With a tender smile, he lowered you back into the water, this time up to just above your belly button. The cool river embraced you once more, and your tiny hands explored the ripples on the surface.

"Now," he murmured with a deep, rumbling voice. "Let's see if my little one knows how to float."

With a gentle nudge, Sobek encouraged you to lie back in the water. Your chubby arms stretched out, flailing momentarily, fingers splaying and creating playful ripples as you adjusted to the sensation of floating. Sobek, with a watchful eye, supported your back with a large hand.

"There you go, my river sprite," Sobek encouraged, his deep voice resonating with pride. "Feel the water beneath you, supporting you. Just like that."

You basked in the sensation of weightlessness, the gentle current rocking you back and forth. Sobek's eyes, attentive and filled with paternal warmth, watched every movement. Slowly, he let his hand off your back, leaving you floating on your own. His hands stayed beneath you, a safety net of reassurance, as you figured out how to keep afloat.

After a few moments, Sobek, with a beaming smile, scooped you up from the water. "Well done, my Nilebud!" he said with a burst of raucous laughter, nuzzling your tiny cheek with his snout. You giggled as he continued, holding you up above his face.

"You are such a natural," he cooed, his ancient accent adding a melodic touch to the words. "A true child of the Nile, just like your old man." Sobek's golden eyes, radiant with pride, met yours as he lowered you and cradled you in his strong arms.

He began wading back to the shore, where the little boy was waiting, chewing on his lotus stem. "Now, let's see how your mischievous brother fares with the art of floating," Sobek declared with playful anticipation, more than ready to continue these swimming lessons.

[milky-rozen]

Sobek, the mighty lord of appetites, is the uncontested ruler of the Nile. With his insatiable thirst for all sorts of pleasures, he is the strongest water deity and a very popular one, not just among humans and especially women who pray for fertility, but also among gods.

A role model to the Young Horus, whom he saved when he was just a child, he is feared and respected by everyone, who can't help falling in love with his immense charisma!

[hearthfirehandworks]

Sobek is an Egyptian god associated with fertility, protection, the Nile, and the military He had a particular center of worship in Crocodilopolis. Sobek is depicted here as a man with the head of a crocodile. He carries the was staff, a symbol of power, in one hand and the ankh, a symbol of life, in the other. Sobek may also be depicted in the full form of a crocodile.

Sobek who made the herbage green, lord of dark waters, mender of a damaged world, I praise and honor you.

[talonabraxas]

He was the lord of the crocodiles and was depicted with a crocodile head. Some ancient Egyptian sects believed that Sobek created order in the universe and the world when he arose from the “Dark Water” and that he was the creator of the Nile River. He was often associated with fertility. Sobek was often depicted as having a crocodile head, ram’s horns and an elaborate crown, as seen on this statue in the Crocodile Museum next to Kom Ombo Sobek Midjourneyart/P.S Talon Abraxas

[the-bandit-brood]

Oh Sobek, Lord Between the Reeds, you lift me up from the dark and treacherous waters that are your home, keeping me safe in my own delving to darkness. Praise to you, and your glorious scales and claws and teeth, may you always be full, and never hungry, and may your teeth never feel the need to bury themselves into our skin.

May you instead feast on all of my shame and fear, and may it fill you with the strength you deserve.

Dua Sobek!

[hesy-bes]

If you are still accepting requests, may I have one for Sobek? Thank you and have a wonderful day or night! 🐊

O' Sobek,

Lord of the Marshes,

it is you who guides my way through the waters,

leading me to safe land.

It is you who I raise my arms to in praise,

that you might guide my ba through the rivers of the Duat,

so I may be judged in the Court of Wesir.

It is you who fills my ka with vitality,

bringing the essence of water to my lips.

Dua Sobek!

[meseh-aha]

Hi,

I have a question about Sobek-Ra!

He recently appeared in my dreams and would like to for a connection (via worship).

What are some upg experiences you have had with him?

And I can’t find many…if any really, resources about him.

So I’m a bit lost?

Thanks,

J

Hello, J!

Yeah, I can attest from personal experience that it's very hard to find information about Sobek-Ra. But in my experience with my Father, I hope I can help! He's sometimes similar for those I've spoken with, He's sometimes different.

For me, He is the Creator King Who Fights His Own Battles. He is the massive driving force of the world, His back is the mountains, His footsteps are the valleys, His breath is the sky; His dragging tail made the rivers and streams, His body flows with the oceans. He is every bit the crocodile you are told to be on the look out for, for He is Creation, and Creation is violent and loud and sudden. He will not hesitate to use His strength and teeth if He feels the need, a thunder crash of jaws and dark waters.

While He maybe intimidating this way for some, He means well. He is caring underneath the hardened scales. He is warmth and kindness, a firm hand at your back to keep you going, the Sun above to light your path. His strength is your strength, He will push you to strive for your best, and will be proud for putting forth the effort.

For me, He has been my Father, my protector, my stalwart guide through life. He has been gentle as He has been firm, and I do my best to carry Him with me in all that I do.

Over the years, I've found what He prefers with offerings from me:

Flowers and plants. Sobek-Ra has many a plant related epithets, including the Lord of Flowers. I give him lilies often, but if you have cats, roses or succulents work just as well! (As well as any other plant you may think He will like.)

Food and drink wise; chicken and rice, fish, steak. If you aren't one for meat, fresh fruits and vegetables! I find a cream peach wine for Him often, but if alcohol isn't your thing, water and fruit juice works perfectly. Milk and bread are wonderful as well.

Exercise and physical fitness. This one isn't really needed, as not everyone has the capability to do this. There is no shame in this! Managing yourself as best you can will count, He knows your limits, and He will not push them.

Outside time. As simple as just basking in the Sun, listening to the world around you, maybe dipping your feet in a stream or pool, planting vegetation.

Music, and the more bass, the better. The deep rumbles to the beat are a wild enjoyment when it catches His attention.

Hope this helped in some way, but if you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask! My Ask Box and DMs are always open. (:

Nora Kingston + Mythical Symbolism, for @purplehairsecretlair

Sobek was among the oldest deities named in the Pyramid Texts, the texts inscribed on the walls of tombs. He was the lord of the crocodiles and was depicted with a crocodile head. Some ancient Egyptian sects believed that Sobek created order in the universe and the world when he arose from the “Dark Water” and that he was the creator of the Nile River. He was often associated with fertility. Sobek was revered for his ferocity and quick movements; however, he was an unpredictable deity, as were his crocodile counterparts. The people of ancient Egypt worshiped Sobek in order to appease both him and crocodiles in general, and also to ensure the fertility of their people and crops. Many mummified crocodiles, of all ages and sizes, have been found in Egyptian tombs. Sobek was associated with both Seth, his father, and Horus, whom he helped birth. He was also considered to be the army’s patron because of his ferocity.

Sobek | He Who Makes the Herbage Green

"I am Sobek, who dwelleth amid his terrors. I am Sobek, and I seize [my prey] like a ravening beast. I am the great Fish which is in Kamui. I am the Lord to whom bowings and prostrations are made in Sekhem."

-The Book of the Dead, The Chapter of Making the Transformation into the Crocodile God (Sobek)

Sobek was the Ancient Egyptian god of protection, strength, and fertility. He is often depicted as an ordinary crocodile or a man with a crocodilian head. While being considered a patron of the pharaoh's army, Sobek is seen holding the uraeus, the Royal Authority's symbol.

He was a longstanding presence in the Egyptian Pantheon from the Old Kingdom (2685 - 2181 BCE) through the Roman Period (30 BCE - 350 CE). Although he was known and worshipped in the Old Kingdom, it was in the Middle Kingdom (2055 - 1650 BCE) he gained prominence. The Twelfth Dynasty Pharaoh, Amenemhat III, had taken quite an interest in the Faiyum, where Sobek's influence originates. As a result of this interest, Amenemhat, as well as many of his contemporaries, engaged in building projects promoting Sobek.

The ambiguous nature of Sobek led some to believe he was a repairer of evil already done rather than a force of good itself. An example of this would be Sobek venturing into the Duat to repair the damage done to the souls of the dead by their method of death. Sobek is also known to call upon appropriate gods and goddesses required to protect people in various situations, maintaining a more distant role by nudging things along rather than getting directly involved.

Due to these factors, he is often characterized as a primal god and an avatar of Amun-Re. Amun, at the time, was considered the chief god, and eventually, his characteristics merged with those of Sobek. This merging resulted in the creation of the avatar Sobek-Re (also known as Sobek-Ra); this is a syncretism, which is an entirely different entity.

Sobek-Egyptian River God

The Egyptians revered crocodiles. Their river god Sobek is modelled after one. Entire crocodile families were mummified and placed in sacred tombs with gold bracelets placed on their ankles.

Sobek was the lord of the crocodiles and was depicted with a crocodile head. Some ancient Egyptian sects believed that Sobek created order in the universe and the world when he arose from the “Dark Water” and that he was the creator of the Nile River. He was often associated with fertility.

Sobek, Lord of the Waters

Drawing and painting by Jonna Hyttinen

[marine-indie-gal]

Figure that I'd give the Bikini Bottom more Rulers, this time adding in More Water Deities from Foreign Mythologies of Different Cultures in a Group of Seven Sea Gods ruling over Each of The Seven Seas. From Left to Right; Poseidon (from Greek Mythology), Neptune (from Roman Mythology), Ryūjin (from Japanese Mythology), Mac Lir (from Celtic Mythology), Varuna (from Hindu Mythology), Sobek (from Egypt Mythology), and Njǫrd (from Norse Mythology). We pretty much already know much about Poseidon/Neptune behind Greco-Roman Mythology. Greek/Roman God of the Seas, Son of Cronus/Saturn and Rhea/Ops, brother of Zeus/Jupiter and Hades/Pluto, Husband of Amphitrite/Salacia, yada, yada, yada, ect. pretty much you Greco-Roman Mythologists out there who have watched SpongeBob and seen Sponge on The Run would defiantly would know who Poseidon/Neptune is. But what about the Water Deities from Different Mythologies? Who are they? Well, here are some personalities for our new guys. Ryūjin (Japanese Water Deity and Third Ruler of The Seas) The Master of the Serpents and King of a Sea Dragon. Ryūjin has the ability to take both in Three Forms; A Dragon (his Actual Species), An Anthro Fish (to civilize Fish People like from the Bikini Bottom), and Human (Only for the Surface Land). Ryūjin is a Cunning Wise-Cracking Dragon who's often to take hold of his responsibilities of being King and as well as creating fun for his own. He enjoys to have a slice of life such as eating some Krill or Plankton, he even has the power to make Gemstones glow. Whenever he gets furious or angry, storms would usually come in out of nowhere as he also controls waves to make them very big and crazy like a hurricane. Voice Actor: John de Lancie (Discord from "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic") Mac Lir (Celtic Water Deity and Fourth Ruler of The Seas) A Wise, Kind, and Noble Deity. Mac Lir is also known as "Manannán", he was a Brave Warrior of a Deity who fights in Wars and is also part of Another Deity Tribe, "Tuatha Dé Danann". Mac Lir is not really all that fearsome of a God but he's often very nice as he protects to those who had a rough life as he is willing to give anyone who deserved something much better a chance. He often rides on Sea Horses throughout the Seas and claims that All Sea Creatures are very good-natured animals. Voice Actor: Christian Bale Varuna (Hindu Water Deity and Fifth Ruler of The Seas) Basically the Hippie Type out of the Group. Varuna is Very Peaceful, Laid-Back, and Enlightened. He is mostly rather Chill but outside of being a Water God, he's also a Ruler of the Sky Realm and even upholder of the Cosmics, known for being a Chief of the Adityas. He can tell and predict the future with his highest knowledge with great power behind a thousand eyes. He sometimes enjoys to visit Parties such as visiting a Festival with the Gods and is very respected by the Fish who he is welcomed to. Voice Actor: Khary Payton (Rafiki from "The Lion Guard") Sobek (Egyptian Water Deity and Sixth Ruler of The Seas) A Lord of Crocodiles and even God of the River Niles. Sobek has the ability to control Waters as well as being in command with a pack of his own Crocodiles. Like Poseidon, he is very Vain and Self-Centered but unlike Neptune's Greek Counterpart, he isn't lazy and is often busy doing his Job protecting the Nile. He can allow his Crocodiles to not eat People for those who fear death unless if you pray for him to make Crocs get out of the Water. He is also able to protect anyone who obeys him from Evil and hate if anyone would dare try to screw his Job of being a King of the Nile Rivers, usually he gets pissed at that when someone tries to mess things up around him. Voice Actor: Kevin Hart Njǫrd (Norse Water Deity and Seventh Ruler of The Seas) Njord is very stoic at nature. Like Neptune, he is very regal to control both the Waters and is able to give people who obey him the riches with Great Wealth. Needless to say, he is often very mature and tends to focus on his responsibilities of being King such as doing the Royal Stuff, he is soft-spoken and gentle. He would punish others who are Evil such as the Monsters around from the Sea. He doesn't necessary like people who are greedy or selfish as he is willing to pay them with Karma such as an Important Moral Lesson; If they want great wealth, they must learn to be a better and respectful person without being selfish and Greed at heart, only use Charity at Heart. He is very faithful and respectful towards anyone, even to those like his Wife, Skadi (The Goddess of Winter). Voice Actor: Billy Zane (John Rolfe from "Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World") I made each of the Men-like Water Gods (except for Ryūjin and Sobek) into Merman like how the show does with Neptune and Poseidon because since some Gods have Titles of being in charge of Waters, wouldn't they also be depicted as Merman too? Also, I should be such further noticed that I don't really consider the Other Neptune from the First Movie part of the Rulers of the Seven Seas. In my AU, he's just a King of Merpeople, not a God since Most Gods don't generally wear Royal Medieval Outfits. Also, for the Backgrounds that I used behind these versions of the Other Foreign Gods, I just googled up each Foreign Waterland/Ocean/Sea to resemble what Country that they are from. I do NOT own these backgrounds, credit goes to each of the Backgrounds that I have found for Google. SpongeBob SquarePants (c) Stephen Hillenburg Water Deities (c) Mythology
