Apep, also known as Apophis, was a gigantic serpentine dragon demigod of fire, darkness and snakes who was believed by his enemies to be a manifestation of evil. On the world of Toril he was worshiped by yuan-ti cults under the aspect Repra, until that aspect was subsumed by the deity Sseth. Apep was said by both his enemies and worshipers to have no creed but destruction, particularly the destruction of the Pharaonic gods of Mulhorand, their temples, their clerics, and their worshipers.
