The Sacred Darkness: He has elements of a chthonic deity, through his association with the underground and the afterlife. The Power of Language: In the myths which see Ptah as the creator deity, he conceives reality by thinking it and speaking it aloud. The Maker: He's another creator god, though a less squicky one than Atum. The Magnificent: He bears plenty of epithets that describe his role in ancient Egyptian religion and its importance in society at the time, such as "the beautiful face", "the lord of truth and eternity", "the master of justice and ceremonies" and "the one who listens to prayers". He is also the husband of Sekhmet and father of Nefertem (either through Sekhmet or Bastet). Ptah is a creator god of craftsmen and architects who existed before all other things and by his will thought the world into existence. They are from the oldest surviving records and are the first deities in the whole Egyptian mythos. Time Abyss: Double points for this being the case both in Real Life and In-Universe, er- mythology. The Old Gods: These are what the Egyptians worshipped before the Ennead replaced them. Spell My Name with an "S": Their names could be spelled in plenty of different ways. Primordial Chaos: Nenu and Naunet again. 
Hermaphrodite: Nenu and Naunet, while the others are gender-flipped.This is a given seeing as they are simply primal forces with no characterization and little surviving documents. Flat Character: All eight of them, to the point only Kek and Kauket have their separate entry below.
Eldritch Abomination: Every one of them qualifies, though sometimes they are depicted as either humanoid or animalistic.Alternate Company Equivalent: To Tiamat and Abzu, as well as Khaos/Chaos and the Protogenoi.They were later replaced by cults to other deities like Amun, and then the Heliopolian Ennead, which were Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut and their descendants. This proto-pantheon consisted of four gods who were the embodiments of primal concepts, and four goddesses which embodied the opposite concepts. The Ogdoad were eight primordial deities worshipped in Hermopolis.
