Apis

Apis is a recurring demon in the series.
==History==
Apis was an Egyptian bull-deity worshiped in the Memphis region of Egypt. According to Manetho, his worship was instituted by Kaiechos of the Second Dynasty. Apis is named on very early monuments, but little is known of the divine animal before the New Kingdom.
Ceremonial burials of bulls indicate that ritual sacrifice was part of the worship of the early cow deities and a bull might represent a king who became a deity after death. He was entitled "the renewal of the life" of the Memphite god Ptah; but after death he became Osorapis, i.e. the Osiris Apis, just as dead humans were assimilated to Osiris, the king of the underworld. This Osorapis was identified with the Hellenistic Serapis, and may well be identical with him.
Greek writers make the Apis an incarnation of Osiris, ignoring the connection with Ptah.
