Creature Identification
It is unknown what exactly the creature is supposed to be. Azizas mentions it as being a creature from Egypt's ancient past. It seems to resemble a frilled lizard or a crocodile. The name of the cutscene where Azizas kills it is called "Crocodile God" in the game's files. Also, this creature is referred to as the "gold god" in the Official Tomb Raider Files book and as an "evil god" in a Gamesmaster article. It is possible that the creature is intended to represent Egyptian god Sobek, who has the head of a crocodile but it may more likely be a god that Core Design invented to form a part of Set's army.
