Apophis
This great serpent is a child of Jormungandr The World Serpent. Because of such, its in Apophis' nature to want to bring upon destruction and an end to the Southlands. Many of the gods have battled this beast but non more than Horus and Set. Despite every time the beast is struck down and killed, it will always eventually come back being birthed from the sands of the desert. It's up to heroes and gods alike to strike down the beast every time it is birthed, because if they don't it will only grow in power and size to the point where even the Ascended would start to worry for their own saftey.
Depiction. Aposis is an enormous serpent, often depicted as a massive cobra. Most depictions of Aposis show a serpent at least 20 feet tall and more than 300 feet long, but its size is highly variable. Aposis has wide jaws, the better to swallow the sun or whatever else it desires. It hungers always, and its enemies are legion, for it seeks to destroy the world and bring on the apocalypse.
Worshippers. The followers of Aposis are fanatical supporters of the end of all things and the world’s destruction. They include human cultists, lizardfolk, some trolls and trollkin, as well as subek and werecrocodiles. Not all these supplicants are evil; some are simply stoic and fatalistic about what will happen once Aposis begins devouring the mortal world and the World Trees crash to earth.
