I already share this somewhere but I want to share it again. There Egyptian god called Apesh his a turtle god of the night and some say his Khonshu son. But his considered a Evil god even a Demon because his Ra huge enemy. In the "Book of the Dead" (this where tons of Egyptian mythos from) Thoth quoted about him "May Ra live and turtle die". Apesh was created because ancient Egyptian have huge beef with turtle especially when the Greco-Roman period (the hate is already there before they ruled Egypt btw) they have mural where tons of turtle get crushed by their feet (poor guys ) the turtle was demonize over time like Seth, because before turtle was used for medicine and because of that they used symbolism health so much there's amulet used for wishing for good health. But they become so hated that they become the symbolism of evil.
