Baneb-Djed, Mendes – a deity in the form of a goat, compared to Pan by the Greeks. Originally appearing as a ram, he was later given human form, but the animal form continued to appear indirectly. As a god of fertility, he was worshipped in the Egyptian city of Mendes. However, his cult was not local; he was considered one of the powerful ancestral deities, and as such, he appears in the myth of the battle between Horus and Set. In the Late Period, he was identified with Osiris.

Bata – a bull-shaped god worshiped in the Kyopolitan nome alongside Anubis. The "Orbiney Papyrus" depicts the two deities as brothers, antagonistic to each other. Almost nothing is known about the cult of Bata itself.

Benitu – these were deities depicted as baboons. They inhabited the first circle of the underworld. They guarded the gate, which they opened only for Re-Osiris when he entered the Western Land on his barge.

Bes – a popular folk deity, patron of the home, women's lives, and the giver of peaceful sleep; rooted more in demonology and magic than theology; patron of marriage, joy, and fun. Exceptionally popular in Roman times, worshiped primarily in Abydos. Depicted as a shapeless, laughing dwarf with animal ears and a lion skin on his back, he sometimes played a drum (or other instruments) to ward off evil, hostile spirits. Images of Bes were sometimes placed on amulets. A variant of Bes was the demon Aha ("warrior"), clutching snakes or gazelles in his hands as Set's animals. Bes's image was extremely common on everyday objects and on mammisi shrines.

Buchis - bull god, worshiped in Middle Egypt.

Khenti - a deity of the dead, depicted as a black dog. He was worshiped at Abydos, where he had his own sanctuary in the Archaic Period.

Khepre, Kheperu, Khepri - ("becoming") a primordial deity, worshiped in the form of a scarab, a dung god; in the Old Kingdom, he was considered a personification of Atum and, as such, the creator of deities. In the texts of the Book of the Dead, he is associated with the symbolism of resurrection. He possessed the mysterious power of constant rebirth. He was believed to create offspring by himself.

Khnum, Knum, Num - ("ram"), god of water and cataracts, guardian of the Nile floods, appeared in the form of a ram or a man with a ram's head. Initially a local deity of Elephantine, he gained popularity thanks to the widespread worship of rams in many places in Upper Egypt; theological accounts suggest he was considered the creator of humans, whom he rolled along with the world on a potter's wheel. He was revered as the patron of the Nile floods. The popularity of Khnum's cult influenced his ambiguous position in the pantheon; he was syncretically associated with many gods, e.g., Geb, Osiris, Re, and Shu. The peculiar, four-headed depictions of Khnum at Esna are interpreted as a syncretic deity combining the characteristics of these gods.

Khonsu ("wanderer") was initially a local deity of an exceptionally primitive nature. From the New Kingdom onward, he was worshipped as the son of the god Amun and the goddess Mut. Through his union with his parents in a triad (the so-called Theban trinity), he gained popularity as a moon deity. Iconographically related to Ptah or Osiris; depicted with a lunar disc on his head, depictions of Khonsu with a falcon's head or "Khonsu-child" are rare, depicted almost analogously to one of Horus' figures—a child standing on a crocodile.

Duamutfi, Dwa-mutef - brother of Hapea, Emset and Quebhsneuf; these were deities who took care of funerals; they were considered sons of Horus.

Emset, Amaste - together with Hape, Duamutfi and Quebhsneuf was a deity in charge of funerals, they were considered sons of Horus.

Geb - a cosmic primordial deity personifying the earth; father of Osiris, husband of Nut. Most often depicted together with Nut and the air deity Shu, as a reclining man with a body covered with plants. Geb - Cheb, Keb - son of Shu and Tefnet, father of Osiris, god of the Earth.

Harpocrates – Greek form of the Egyptian term Hor pa hered, meaning "Horus the child"; the figure of Horus is depicted as a seated child with a lock of hair on his head and a finger in his mouth. He gained popularity especially in the Greco-Roman period.

Heh – a primordial deity from Hermopolis, the personification of infinity, who emerged from the primordial ocean Nun during the creation of the world. His female counterpart was the goddess Hauket. Heh – like other deities of the Great Eight – was depicted as a frog, while Hauket was depicted as a snake.

Horakhte - (Egyptian = "Horus of the horizon"); a solar deity, originally not identified with Re, but soon connected with that god. He was the god of the "morning sun"; the Horus motif dictated that he be depicted as a man with the head of a falcon.

Horus - (Egyptian: Haru = "far"), Latin form of the Egyptian name Hor, meaning the son of Osiris and Isis or a solar deity; a proto-deity of unknown origin (perhaps even one aspect of Horus was a deified tribal leader), one of the most popular Egyptian gods; thanks to the popularity of the falcon-deity in many places in Egypt, his cult spread without conflict. Perhaps the most important deity of the pre- and early dynastic periods (the falcon was the hieroglyphic determinative of the concept of "god"); god of the firmament, light, and the world, symbol of royal power. A god with a deep heart: he gave his dead father Osiris his eye to eat, and he came to life. Incorporated into the circle of Osirian myths, he became the son of Osiris and Isis, an adversary of Set. One of the largest centers of Horus cult was Lower Egypt's Edfu; identified with Re was called Re-Horakhte. He was most often depicted as a falcon or a man with a falcon's head.
