Ammit

Ammit is a figure from ancient Egyptian mythology known as the "Devourer of the Dead" or "Eater of Hearts." She is depicted as a mythical creature with the head of a crocodile, the body of a lion, and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus—combining the three largest, most dangerous animals in Egypt. Ammit's role was to punish souls in the afterlife. When a person’s heart was weighed to determine their worthiness, if it was found to be heavy with evil, Ammit would devour it, preventing the soul from reaching paradise and symbolizing divine justice for moral conduct in life.
