"Oh, Taweret, the hippopotamus who walks. Lady of the Birth House, she is the goddess of fertility and childbirth. Mistress of the Horizon, she brings with her the yearly flood of Ar."
Medjay Bayek of Siwa[src]

Taweret, meaning she who is great or the great one, is a goddess in ancient Egyptian mythology, revered throughout the land as a protector, especially of households and women in labour.

She is often depicted as a bipedal hippopotamus, with feline hands and human breasts, wearing a nemes.

As a protective deity, amulets often bore her likeness.

During his travels, Bayek found a stone circle dedicated to Taweret.
