Amemait

Amemait a violent divine being linked with Egyptian mortuary rites and  customs, the creature disciplined the head of a crocodile, the  fronts of a large Cat, and  the rear of a Hippopotamus. called the Great of dying or the Devourer, Amemait was female. The illustrations of  the beast in the book of the dead depict Amemait ready beside the scales in the judgment halls of osiris, where the god Osiris pressed the hearts of the gone against the feather of the goddess Maat. The hearts of those who were evil in life were given to  Amemait as food. The negative confessions, claims of not committing individual crimes or sins, were fashioned to protect the late from Amemait, who was distinctly a dispenser of justice, not of mad terror. Amulets and spells were as well employed to support this divine being from devouring the dead. The horror taken in Amemait's dining on the dead deducted from the Egyptians fear of going into nothingness, or the straight void.
