Who is the god Bat?

BAST or BASHT was a Cat-headed goddess of femininity. She was drawn in human-like style ( like modern animal cartoons) often holding some unusual tool looking like a vise of some type on a pole, possibly agrarian implement? The Egyptians had both animal form ( Zoomorphic) and partly animal-form Gods and Goddesses in their pantheon. I hasten to add the Greeks did not have Zoomorphic deities- but animals were associated with Mars ( dogs of war!) and the Hunter Orion- who had a hunting dog named Sirius- both are constellations. Orion stands out with the three stars in his Garrison belt!

The Book of the Dead is the obvious answer. If you study the Book of the Dead, you will be surprised with many characters in both zoomorphic ( such as Horus- the Hawk-God who was identified with Time ( hence Horoscope, indirectly) and anthropomorphic deities as well. Often they are paraded side by side! The Ankh figures prominently in Egyptian religious art.


Who is Volpone?

The word means ( Fox) in Italian. It is also a surname. for some reason animal or zoomorphic surnames are more common in Italian than other languages. for example Cardinale ( cardinal- but also a Church title), Calandra-Lark, Aquila-Hawk or eagle depending on context, Lupo- Wolf, etc. There are quite a few in Italian, and they are rarer in say, German or French.

No, there are no zoomorphic or mixed Human-animal monsters in the portion of the Bible where the Genesis narrative appears.

In a nutshell- anthropomorphic ( human formed) or zoomorphic ( animal-like) portable dolls. they are sometimes incorrectly-but it is a flag of convenience- ( Portable totem poles) they are quite distinct- but are American Indian in origin. Kachina, sometimes spelled Katchina- is NOT a tribe. There is or was a Katchina Doll 200 women"s Air Race- a Katchina doll is a prize. Be advised Amelia Earhart"s family had connections with the A.T.S.F. railway- which may explain this, and her predilection for Turquoise.

What type of animal spends half its life on land and half in the water?

apart from protists which are in a separate Kingdom ( for example protozoa and bacteria)- There are no sea creatures intermediate between plant and animal. you may be thinking of the sea anemones- which literally means wind flowers- these are zoomorphic ( animal) life but a very low-down ( pun intended ) specialized form. some are poisonous to man and some fish I have seen them in aquaria. They can only thrive in a Marine- that is Saline environment.
