This is the monster of your dreams - or more precisely, your nightmares! Karnak is a large powerful Egyptian monster, with a square head and a mouth full of sharp teeth. In each hand he holds a human skull. When these are clashed together, he can create violent storms which will ravage the countryside. The skulls also provide the great Karnak with the psychic power to control the minds of his victims. He directs them to destroy his enemies and commit diabolical deeds. If you encounter Karnak, trick him into putting down his skulls, because without these, he's just another big, ugly, run of the mill monster.

Origin[]
Karnak is named after an Ancient Egyptian temple complex near the city of Luxor, but its physical appearance could be based off of Maahes, the Egyptian god of war, protection and weather, who had the body of a man and the head of a lion. He was as the sun of the creator god Ptah as well as the feline god Bastet whose nature he shared.
