Locust God

The Locust God is one of the three gods who were captured and distorted by Nicol Bolas to serve his interests during the Hour of Revelation. The original functions and appearances and even the names of these gods have been lost.
==History==
The function of the Locust God was to consume and destroy the Hekma through his "children" (locusts) during the Hour of Promise.
When Hazoret rebuilt the Hekma, the Locust was confined outside Naktamun.Greg Weisman (April 2019). "War of the Spark: Ravnica". Del Rey. It's unclear if it was unwilling or unable to destroy this new Hekma.Greg Weisman (April 2019). "War of the Spark: Ravnica". Del Rey.
Amonkhet was a target in New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse. Warned of the incoming invasion, the survivors of Amonkhet went into hiding, hoping to evade Phyrexian notice, but it turned out to be futile. To their surprise, when they arrived at Naktamun, they found the Scarab God and Locust God already there, engaged with the invaders. With the insect gods' undead hordes distracting the Phyrexians, Hazoret used her flaming spear to ignite the glistening oil within the Phyrexians' veins. As they writhed in agony, Djeru led a crop of elite fighters to dismember them, making sure they were out of the picture for good. In the aftermath, the inscrutable insect gods departed for the deep desert without a word.
===After the war===
Originally appearing to be nothing but thralls of Bolas, both the Scarab and Locust God demonstrated unusual agency after the God-Pharaoh's death. They saw themselves as the true gods of the plane, with the later ones such as Hazoret and Ketramose being tainted by Bolas's legacy. Still, they see no need to act with hostility; the Chitin Court, as they are termed, collects more undead followers and seeks to revive their otherwise buried compatriots. Only when their numbers are sufficient will they reclaim their plane.
==Inspiration==
In Egyptian mythology there is no divinity related to locusts, however, the Locust God may have been inspired by the Plagues of Egypt, specifically the Plague of Locusts.
