Apophis

This is a gigantic serpent of Egyptian mythology and the embodiment of the spirit of evil. Also known as Apep and Apepi, it is likewise the one who directs the powers of darkness against which the sun, whether taking the form of the god Ra or Horus, waged its daily battle. The oldest texts state that, in remote times, it had legs and claws, which it lost in a struggle. It is frequently depicted as a serpent with several coils, each one pierced by a knife.
