    'I'm Sobek (also called Sebek or Sobki, Coptic: Ⲥⲟⲩⲕ, romanized: Souk) I was an ancient Egyptian deity with a complex and elastic history and nature. I'm associated with the Nile crocodile or the West African crocodile and is represented either in its form or as a human with a crocodile head. I was also associated with pharaonic power, fertility, and military prowess, but served additionally as a protective deity with apotropaic qualities, invoked especially for protection against the dangers presented by the Nile. I has been famed for having been revered by the first female Pharaoh by the Nebty name Sat-Sekhem-Nebet-Tawy Sobekneferu, present both in the female Pharaoh's nomen, Sobekneferu (sbk-nfrw - Beauty of Sobek), and her praenomen Kasobekre (The Ka of Sobek-Ra)."
