Ignoring the Likelihood of this, I think there's potential to be had in the Egyptian Pantheon.
Gods:
- Anubis - God of Death, but not the afterlife. Basically, the ultimate judge. Not powerful in his own right, but it'd be a great way for Kratos to contend with the virtues and sins of his past and be rewarded/punished accordingly.
- Bast - God of Cats and, seemingly, Fire. Often compared to Artemis by the Greeks for her attitude.
- Horus - Son of Osiris and Isis, this was the local sky God. Not that powerful, but a badass who avenged his father.
- Isis - Goddess of Fertility and all that jazz. Inspired the Virgin Mary.
- Osiris - Jesus was a ripoff of this guy. Jesus was left to hang around for three days; this guy was chopped into bits and scattered around, and made a 98% recovery. Technically a sort of cyborg, since he the remaining 2% was replaced with gold. Now in charge of the afterlife for good people.
- Pharaoh - The humanoid descendant of a God, and their representative in Egypt. Lacks a good Greek parallel.
- Ptah - God of craftsmanship.
- Ra - One of the more powerful sun gods out there, being the indirect creator of the world and humanity in particular. Is sort of retired from the daily going-ons of deities, but is still easily visible.
- Sekhmet - Goddess of Healing and War. Created the deserts surrounding Egypt.
- Set - The God of War and Chaos. Basically, a desert-flavored Ares with a bit of the Christian devil thrown in. Killed Osiris and butchered him to pieces that one time. Basically the Patron deity of the Joker from the Dark Knight film. Incidentally, can also possess humans.
- Thoth - The god of knowledge, particularly practical/scientific knowledge. And artwork and literature. He was the intellectual of the group. Wrote the Book of the Dead. Could have vied to be in charge, but let Ra take that spot.
Monsters:
- Crocodiles
- Griffins
- Leviathan
- Mummies
- Rocs
- Serpents
And that's not including Nubian entities and whatever else they can think of.
