The myth
The lioness, a fierce hunter who endures the desert heat, inspired some of the most feared deities of Egypt. Sekhmet, whose name is usually translated as the powerful one, was a goddess of war and destroyer of the enemies of the sun god Ra. She appeared as a lioness or as a woman with a lioness head, with the sun disk and uraeus on her head. She was associated with both disease and healing and medicine. This card's Red Desert Lioness is a MYTHENOR animal carrying that solar strength.
Why it has this power
An uncommon level 6 Beast of Fire with 1950 ATK and 1400 DEF: it hunts alone, with plenty of attack. Sun beats Moon and Scarab beats Leviathan. Joined with any Fire card, it awakens Sekhara, Lioness of the Raging Sun, an echo of Sekhmet herself.
Did you know
Sekhmet was at once the goddess who brought plagues and a patron of physicians and healers.
