The Scarab God is one of the three gods who were captured and distorted by Nicol Bolas to serve his interests during the Hour of Revelation. The original functions and appearances and even the names of these gods have been lost.

History[ | ]

The function of the Scarab God was to lead the Eternals during the Hour of Eternity and convert Amonkhet's creatures into Eternal soldiers.[1]

When Hazoret rebuilt the Hekma, the Scarab God was confined outside Naktamun.[2]

Amonkhet was a target in New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse.[3] Warned of the incoming invasion, the survivors of Amonkhet went into hiding, hoping to evade Phyrexian notice, but it turned out to be futile.[4] To their surprise, when they arrived at Naktamun, they found the Scarab God and Locust God already there, engaged with the invaders. With the insect gods' undead hordes distracting the Phyrexians, Hazoret used her flaming spear to ignite the glistening oil within the Phyrexians' veins. As they writhed in agony, Djeru led a crop of elite fighters to dismember them, making sure they were out of the picture for good. In the aftermath, the inscrutable insect gods departed for the deep desert without a word.

Inspiration[ | ]

The Scarab God is inspired by Khepri, the Egyptian god who represents the rising or morning sun. By extension, he can also represent creation and the renewal of life.
