Renenutet

Renenutet

Renenutet runs around all over Olympus in many guises. She's sometimes a snake, sometimes a mother goddess, and always awesome. Watch out for her venom—she bites hard when someone threatens the pharaoh. Renny can be a good egg sometimes, though—she oversees the harvest, which keeps Egypt's people alive. Who doesn't love grain and the goddess who protects it?
