The Ahmet (also known as Ammit and under many other names) is an opponent first appearing in Tomb Raider The Last Revelation and returning in Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. They can also be regularly found within Custom Levels.

Appearance

The Ahmet is a demoness from the Egyptian netherworld. It is usually depicted with the head of a crocodile, the foreparts of a panther (with a lion's mane) and the back of a hippopotamus.

The hearts of the dead were weighed against the feather of Ma'at. Those that weighed more because of their evil deeds and therefore were unfit for the afterlife were consumed by Ahmet.
