Ammut, also known as Ammit or Ahemait, is a demoness and goddess in ancient Egyptian religion with a body that is part lion, hippopotamus and crocodile, the three largest "man-eating" animals known to ancient Egyptians. A funerary deity, her titles include "Devourer of the Dead," "Eater of Hearts" and "Great of Death."
She is a mystical beast awaiting in the Halls of Judgment before the afterlife. She lives near the scales of justice in Duat, the Egyptian underworld. When humans die, their heart is weighed at the court of Osiris, deciding their fate. Should the heart of the judged soul be heavier than the Feather of Truth, Ammut devours the sinner. Those whose hearts are eaten cannot continue their journey toward immortality. Ammut was also sometimes said to stand by a lake of fire.
Ammut was not worshipped; instead, she embodied all that the Egyptians feared, threatening to bind them to eternal restlessness if they did not follow the principle of Ma'at.
Ammut can teach Nanashi the Energy Drain, War Cry and Nihil Claw skills through its Demon Whisper. It benefits from learning Physical and support skills.
