Ammit is a mythological creature from ancient Egyptian beliefs, often depicted as a hybrid of a lion, hippopotamus, and crocodile. Known as the 'Devourer of the Dead,' Ammit plays a critical role in the afterlife, where she awaits those who fail the judgment of the dead. If a soul's heart is found to be heavier than the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth and justice, Ammit consumes it, ensuring that the unworthy do not continue to exist in the afterlife.
