His name means &quot;The Wanderer,&quot; probably because as a moon god, Khons constantly moved across the night sky. Consequently, he was thought to watch over night travelers. Some of his titles were &quot;The Embracer,&quot; &quot;The Pathfinder,&quot; and &quot;The Defender.&quot; Khons was invoked to protect against wild animals, increase male virility, and to aid with healing. As the moon, he was thought to embody peace and destructiveness, death and regeneration. <br /> <br /> Khons was depicted as a child with the head of a hawk, wearing the crescent of the new moon subtending the disk of the full moon. His head was shaven except for the side-lock worn by Egyptian children, signifying his role as &quot;Khons the Child.&quot; Occasionally Khons was depicted as a young man holding the flail of the pharaoh, wearing a menat necklace. He was sometimes pictured on the back of a goose, ram, or two crocodiles. Khons&#039; sacred animal was the baboon, considered a lunar animal by the ancient Egyptians. He was occasionally said to be the son of [[Sekhmet]], [[Bast]], or [[Sobek]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *Wikipedia (2005). &#039;&#039;[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chons Chons].&#039;&#039; Retrieved March 8, 2005</div>
