In Lost, what is the name of the island’s giant four-toed statue?

The giant four-toed statue in Lost represents the Egyptian goddess Taweret.

The statue is shown from the back during the season 5 finale, when the island is visited in an earlier historical period. Its unusual four-toed foot becomes one of the show’s most famous visual mysteries.

Taweret is an ancient Egyptian goddess associated with childbirth and fertility, commonly represented with the body of a pregnant hippopotamus and features of other protective animals. The statue’s identity is connected to the mythology surrounding the island and its protectors.

The statue is often incorrectly identified as Anubis because the series also uses Egyptian imagery involving judgment and the dead. Lost does show an Anubis-related carving in the temple, but the giant statue itself is Taweret.
