TAURT

In Egyptian mythology, Taurt or Touaris was an animal goddess represented as a pregnant hippopotamus, sometimes crowned with a disk, horns and plumes. Taurt was the goddess of midwifery and childbirth and devourer of the wicked, waiting in Amenti for those who failed when weighed in the scales of judgement. Later she was depicted as the consort of Seth and in the Theban form as Apet or Opet as the mother of Osiris.
