Human man with feathers or just one feather atop his head. Sometimes as a lion. Atum created both him and his sister in one of two ways, the first is by masturbating, the second is Atum swallows his semen, and spits it out to form the twins. In some version Shut was sneezed out of his nose and Tefnut was spat out like saliva.

Roles
God of air, wind, fog and clouds. He is also the god who represented calm and thus Ma'āt. Physically represented with the feather atop his head. He separated Nut the sky goddess from her husband and brother Geb the earth god.
