So here's a character I've had for a bit but only recently got to fleshing out well enough that I felt I could post it.

For some reason a few of my friends have taken to nicknaming this character things like Growbek or SoBlimpy. Named after the Egyptian god of crocodiles, Sobek, I figured it fit for a few good reasons:

1, he's based on a plush I had when I was super young, so there's the relation to Sobek as a protector.
2, I got him from a doctor as a get-well thing for health issues and this picture was drawn when I was in the ICU getting a good third of my intestines taken out, so there's Sobek's relation to the life-giving waters of the Nile / healing which is also why he's crushing a hospital bed in the image, clearly still growing and swelling against the walls to let his owner know he loves him~
3, Like the god, the plush always helped ward off evil / nightmares.

Unfortunately the plush was given away when I first entered school in kindergarten / first grade because I was 'too old for stuffed toys', and I've never found another, stuffed with little plush pellets that gave him a huggable yet fairly firm feeling, about a couple feet long or so if I remember right.

So since Nox is a plush god of the Norse, it only made sense to have one for Egypt too!

He's got a kind of odd mix of voraciously wild and dominating but sweet and loving. He's the kind of gator that would bury his worshipers under his claws / paws, to sweep whole countries up in his tail, his belly rumbling and roaring intensely from massive godly hunger since Sobek was always described as absolutely ravenous like any croc. So he's a gator that would stomp through his territory, burying whole cities under the tip of his claws as he walked, rumbling hugely to let the whole continent know that they belong to HIM!!! But he'd still be an amazing sweetheart who truly cares for the people under his rule, so him trudging through is seen as a good omen as people's wounds heal, crops flourish, etc with no one being harmed.

As for his temple, it takes the form of a pocket dimension filled with an ocean of healing waters theoretically infinitely deep so the only way across is for the Great Gator to ferry you across like Sobek does with souls to the afterlife along the Nile, a massive island in the middle in which sits an even more absurdly massive pyramid firing a beam of gold light into the sky like a lighthouse, each brick painted with scenes of him being adorable, like gorging himself, sitting on his priests, ferrying people across on his back before pouncing them, etc. So far only have the bedroom described, but it involves a blue bed with wave patterns on the sheets and covers, black pillows designed to look like they're coated in the black, fertile silt 'for good dreams to grow in', the floor made of silky fine sand which magically stops the "It's gritty and gets everywhere and annoying' qualities of normal sand so it wouldn't get everywhere and would stay on the floor unless picked up and put somewhere intentionally for keeping with a similar effect for the healing waters in that you'd only get wet if you wanted to and could come out dry, along with the kaiju-or-bigger sized plushes of the Egyptian animals, like a Godzilla sized fatty hawk / falcon for Ra.

Come on, you know it'd be cute to see him on all fours, purring adorably while his fat tail is wagging thick and heavy, creating little harmless distorted ripples in space with each wag and wearing his little ankh collar with his temple being a tiny speck under one of his soft white claws~
