Appearing in the seventeenth dynasty, the Sak of ancient Egyptian mythology was depicted as a chimerical creature combining the head of a hawk, the body of a lion, hindquarters of a horse, numerous triangular mamelles, and the tail as a fully bloomed lotus. The sak was always female and had the ability to produce new monsters as horrid as itself, a trait most unusual in hybrids.
