Olokun - African - Maybe be a god or a goddess as mentioned in both genders though mostly believed to be female, and is associated with bringing good fortune, wealth and fertility. The name Olokun itself simlply means "owner of the sea" as she is believed to live under the sea with her human and fish attendants, sometimes mermaids and mermen. Olokun is often depicted as having mudfish legs, carrying lizards and wearing a royal coral dress. Mostly women in costal regions worship Olokun. There is an annual fesitval where the priests pray for peace and plenty and the women for children and money. Olokun - African - Was one of the System Lords meeting to discuss the attacks on them by an unknown rival Goa'uld. Osiris appeared at the meeting and informed the others that the attacks had been a show of power by Anubis, who was seeking admittance to the inner circle of the ruling Goa'uld. By offering to destroy Earth as his payment for joining their ranks, Olokun cast his vote in favor of allowing Anubis to regain his former position among the System Lords.
