Wepwawet

Wepwawet

Ancient Egypt's lone wolf is top dog. Not only does he scout out Pharaoh's enemies, he also has keys to every door in the universe as the Opener of Ways. Wepwawet's the original jackal god in Egypt—even older than Anubis, though sometimes they're considered brothers or even the same god. We guess when you can be everywhere, you can also be everything?
