God of the desert, storms, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion

Apophis (; from ), also known as Apep () or Aphoph (, ), usually depicted as a giant snake or serpent, is the ancient Egyptian deity of chaos, darkness and fire, and is thus the opponent of light and Maat (order/truth). Ra was the bringer of light and hence the biggest opposer of Apophis.
