Physical Description
Body Features
In his natural form, Bes appeared as a 4 feet tall figure, likened to either a shield dwarf or a stunted human, with a powerful physique and bowlegs. His face, which was described as so ugly that it could scare evil spirits away, featured a bushy beard. He typically wore a panther skin with the tail still attached, although some accounts said that he had a tail himself.
Social
Mannerisms
Bes was a whimsical deity who liked gambling and small children. He didn't take the moral and ethical stances of those he blessed with good fortune into account, and the Short Father was childlike in his enjoyment of his worshipers' tributed offers.
