Ab-She/Ab-Shaw/Āb-Shau

Ab-She is a monstrous giant crocodile from Egyptian myth. It exists in the seventh hour of the river of the night. It was seen as the warden of symbols in a particular city in the Duat. It devours the souls of any who become lost in this hour, unless they know the image of him consuming his own body as Ra travels through the night.
