She is the Devouress, Eater of the Dead, Devourer of Souls, creature of the netherworld- crocodile head, lion's foreparts, hippo's hindquarter- she is feared even by the one called Blood Drinker. Ammut the Devouress crouches by the scales while Anubis weighs the heart of the dead one against the Feather of Maat. Toth, Osiris, and the pantheon observe but do not interfere.
A scream tears itself from the throat of the dead one who stands at the scales.
