Serpopard
A mythical creature with the body of a leopard and an impossibly long serpentine neck. Depicted on the Narmer Palette, it represents the chaotic forces tamed by the pharaoh.
Egyptian Sphinx
A benevolent guardian with the body of a lion and head of a pharaoh. Unlike its Greek counterpart, it protects sacred sites and represents royal power and divine wisdom.
Bennu
A sacred phoenix-like bird associated with the sun god Ra and rebirth. It created itself from the fires of a sacred tree in Heliopolis and inspired the Greek phoenix legend.
