Description Here is my vision of Yam (or Yaw, or Ym, or Yammu, meaning "sea" in canaanite), the Levantine/Semitic god of the primordial chaotic sea, and rivers ! He rules over storms, has his palace in the depths of the abyss, and has a seven-headed serpent named Lotan as his "pet".
The latter is often confused with Yam, although both entities inspired the biblical Leviathan, like the Mesopotamian goddess Tiamat, and Rahab, the fallen angel of the deep.

Yam was the first opponent fought by Baal Hadad, the god of thunder and fertility, and the two hated each other.


Here's some fitting music : youtu.be/dfBObKbdZf8

Maybe ! But are people ready to see pre-abrahamic semitic/canaanite deities make a comeback in the media XD ?

I was more inspired by the Zora people from the Legend of Zelda games for the elongated head + fishtail

Thank you so much ! I LOVE DEEP SEA LIFEFORMS ! Working on the lights and shadows on these tridents was a bit of a challenge, but I think it came out nice


I also removed the tentacles sprouting out of his pelvis' sides, but kept the "loincloth" referencing Kaneko's Ose's x)

Yeah XD Guess he would retract his back fin, and turn his head so his "tail" would lay beside his body !

That's totally normal, pre-abrahamic semitic deities are REALLY obscure ! I would never have heard about this guy without the Shin Megami Tensei games !
