In Ancient Egyptian religion, Medjed (Egyptological: mḏd) is a minor deity[a] mentioned in certain copies of the Book of the Dead. While not much is known about the deity, his ghost-like depiction in the Greenfield papyrus has earned him popularity in modern Japanese culture, and he has appeared as a character in video games and anime.
