The fourth episode of Moon Knight was recently released. It ended on a cliffhanger, where we are introduced to an anthropomorphic hippopotamus. While this might at first appear to be Marc/Steven’s imagination or even a drug-induced hallucination, it’s actually Taweret, the Egyptian god of children and fertility, and the protector of mothers and children. Given the show’s Egyptian roots, this new character has created a genuine curiosity among the viewers.
Antonia Salib is voicing this character. Marc/Steven meet Taweret in a mental hospital. How the latter factors in their escape will be seen in the coming episodes. This is not a character who appears in comic books and thus it remains to be seen what arc Tawaret will have in the show. As this new character made its entry into the Moon Knight world, fans took to social media to share what they felt about the new episode.
“What is happening?” wrote one of the Twitter users surprised at Taweret’s confrontation with Marc/Steven.
“Why did the episode abruptly end like that?” wrote a curious netizen and Moon Knight fan.
