Taweret was the hippo goddess in ancient egypt
It was in Taweret's role of a protector that she was seen as a goddess. As the mother hippo is protective of her young, Taweret was believed to be protective of Egyptian children. She was often shown holding the sa hieroglyph of protection or the ankh hieroglyph of life. She was thought to assist women in labour and scare off demons that might harm the mother or child.
Taweret is the most well known hippopotamus Egyptian goddess, her aspect is because the ancient Egyptian people saw the protectiveness of hippos over their young and used that formidable image as with Taweret a goddess of childbirth; she is identified and often mistaken for several other hippopotamus goddesses. She is said to be consort to Bes or to Set. Ipet, Reret, Shepet, and Hedjet are all identified with Taweret. Ammit, the underworld creature with the head of crocodile, the torso of a leopard and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus devoured the wicked dead.
Popular goddesses included Isis, Hathor, Sekhmet, and Taweret.
In Egyptian mythology, Taweret (also spelled Taurt, Tuat, Taouris, Tuart, Ta-weret, Tawaret, and Taueret, and in Greek, Θουέρις "Thouéris" and Toeris) is the Egyptian Goddess of childbirth and fertility. The name "Taweret" means, "she who is great" or simply, "great one". When paired with another deity, she became the demon-wife of Apep, the original god of evil. However, the Egyptians essentially treated Taweret as a benevolent figure and this deity is attested as early as the Old Kingdom period "when she took three principal names: Opet or Ipy ('harim' or favoured place), Taweret ('the great goddess') and Reret ('the sow'). She has been linked with the demon goddess Ammit" While there is a temple of Opet at Karnak, dating to the Late Period and Ptolemaic era, "it was the cult of Taweret that gained particular importance over time." - Quote from Wikipedia
