He could protect the justified dead in the netherworld, restoring their sight and reviving their senses. It seems likely that Sobek began as a dark god who had to be appeased, but that his protective qualities and his strength were valued when they were used in defence of the Pharaoh and the people. In some areas, a tame crocodile was worshiped as the earthly embodiment of Sobek himself, while in other places crocodiles were reviled, hunted and killed. He was paired with a number of goddesses in different locations, most notably Hathor, Renenutet, Heqet and Taweret, and was sometimes referred to as the father of Khonsu, Horus or Khnum. According to some myths his father was Set, the god of thunder and chaos, but he also had a close association with Horus. Sobek first appeared in the Old Kingdom as the son of Neith with the epithet "The Rager". However, as well as being a force for creation, he was seen as an unpredictable deity who sometimes allied himself with the forces of Chaos. One creation myth stated that Sobek laid eggs on the bank of the waters of Nun thus creating the world. As the "Lord of the Waters" he was thought to have risen from the primeval waters of Nun to create the world and made the Nile from his sweat. Sobek was a god of the Nile who brought fertility to the land. Some sects believed that Sobek was the creator of the world who arose from the "Dark Water" and created the order in the universe.

Khonsu's reputation as a healer spread outside of Egypt with a stela recording how a princess of Bekhten was instantly cured of an illness when an image of Khonsu arrived. His temple at Karnak is in a relatively good state of preservation and on one of the walls is depicted a cosmogony in which Khonsu is described as the great snake who fertilizes the Cosmic Egg in the creation of the world. He is mentioned in the Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts, in which he is depicted in a fierce aspect, but doesn't rise to prominence until the New Kingdom when he is described as the " Greatest God of the Great Gods." Most of the construction of the temple complex at Karnak was centered on Khonsu during the Ramesside Period. He is sometimes shown wearing a falcon's head like Horus, with who he is associated as a protector and healer, adorned with the sun disk and crescent moon.
