The provided sources do not preserve a cosmogonic or creation narrative for Am-heh. He appears in summaries of Egyptian underworld mythic cosmology as an occupant of the netherworld, listed among beings who threaten the deceased; no primary-text origin story or genealogical account for Am-heh is documented in the supplied materials.
Modern summaries describe Am-heh as depicted as a man with the head of a hunting dog or a 'ferocious hunting dog.' Beyond this anthropoid man-with-canine-head description, the supplied sources give no additional iconographic details such as attire, color, posture, or attributes.
Sources characterize Am-heh primarily by his devouring function, reflected in name glosses rendered as 'devourer of millions' or 'eater of eternity.' He is described as living in a 'lake of fire' within the underworld, locating his power in a destructive, netherworld setting. One source notes he is sometimes seen as an aspect of Ammit (the personification of divine retribution). A single modern summary further states that Am-heh could only be repelled by the god Atum; no additional powers, mechanisms, or limits are documented in the provided material.

Atum is the primordial self-created deity of ancient Egyptian religion who emerges from the primeval waters (Nu) and brings forth the first gods.
