MAFDET
Egyptian Protection Goddess
Also known as Maftet
Mongoose Goddess of Protection
Particularly helps against snakes and other venomous critters.
We assume her form is that of the African mongoose or ichneuman, although she could be a civet or an ocelot according to some naturalists. As nothing zaps snakes like a mongoose, we feel this would be the best beast on offer.
Mafdet also does a shift of meting out punishment to wrongdoers in the afterlife.
