During the mating season, farmers would try to get their horses to mate with the sabgarifya, because their offspring would never get tired since they don’t have to breathe with lungs. • Unboros was a dragon that was pictured eating its own tail as a symbol of eternity. • Gengen Wer was a giant goose that guarded the egg of life. • Qebehsenuef guarded the pharaoh's intestines. • Chauphis were winged beasts that breathed fire and attacked unbelievers. While you may think this is a bad creature, it was good to the ancient Egyptians. mondfaenger.tumblr.com
