1. Ammit – Devourers Hearts! (The most Terrifying God in Moon Knight)
This deity was more feared than being worshiped, and it is not hard to see why. Having the physical characteristics of a crocodile, this goddess desires to bring death to all sinners before they commit their evil acts. She is also known as the Devourer of Souls.
In Egyptian mythology, she is said to have eaten the hearts of souls not found to be justified by Osiris. Moreover, she is said to possess a potent form of dark magic, and she is surely the stuff nightmares are made of. She ranks as the most terrifying goddess amongst all the deities in Moon Knight.
2. Hathor/ Sekhmet – Bloodthirsty!
Hathor is the goddess of love and beauty. However, she has a dark side to her. In the comics, the story goes, that she was sent by her father to punish humanity. This made her hungry for death, and she became bloodthirsty. This transformed her into Sekhmet. Sekhmet ranks as the second most scary Egyptian Goddess on this list. Her transformation from such a benign deity to something so monstrous is terrifying!
