Mogis is the God of Slaughter on Theros. He is associated with black and red mana.

Description

Mogis, the dark twin of the god Iroas, is the horned god of wrath and pain. He is associated with slaughter, violence, bloodlust, war, and cannibalism. He wields a one-headed battleaxe, though it looks somewhat more medieval than a Greek epsilon axe. He is worshipped by minotaurs and is known to take the form of a minotaur, as well. His "red eye" is used as a profanity in Meletis relating to violent death, while Akroan warriors are warned of the threat of giving in to his whims.

Inspiration

The character of Mogis is inspired by a partial aspect of Ares, the Greek god of war. But he is actually closer to Ares' sons Deimos ("Dread") and Phobos ("Fear") and Ares' wife Enyo, goddess of war, destruction, conquest, and bloodlust. His appearance is inspired by the Minotaur.
