An uncommon myth describes this figure's clash with the Great Tom Cat under the ished tree. Because he was born from his mother's saliva, Romans believed his name meant, "he who was spat out." Priests created wax sculptures of this character in order to burn them while reciting spells from a text found in the Bremner-Rhind Papyrus. This character has a head made of flint, and he is sometimes depicted with twelve heads that represent the souls that are freed when he is defeated. During the tenth hour of the Book of Gates, fourteen deities use magical nets to control this figure while Geb ties chains around him. Mehen's coils defend against this creature, who often clashes with Set and other gods standing at the prow of the solar barque. For10 points, name this serpent god who attacks Ra each night.
