The ancient Egyptians worshipped a pantheon of  gods, many had temples created to them and were part of state religious practice.  Others, like Bes and Taweret were worshipped principally in the home. They both take a rather terrifying form, with Bes’ image encompassing leonine and dwarfish features, while Taweret was represented as a hippopotamus, one of the most aggressive creatures on the Nile.
