Gurzil: Berber God of War (North African Mythology)

Gurzil stands as a potent symbol of martial strength and divine guardianship among the ancient Berbers. Revered as a god of war and protection, he is often depicted with bull-like attributes, horns, a muscular physique, and the indomitable presence of a charging beast. His role extended beyond individual combat: Gurzil safeguarded tribal lands, chieftains, and the cohesion of Berber communities.
