Also known as Khons Khensu or Khuns, he was the son of Amun and Mut, who he formed the Theban triad with. He was a moon god depicted as a man with a falcon-head, wearing a crescent moon headdress surmounted by the full lunar disc. Like Thoth, who was also a lunar deity, he is sometimes represented as a baboon. Khonsu was believed to have the ability to drive out evil spirits. Rameses II sent a statue of Khonsu to a friendly Syrian king in order to cure his daughter of an illness.
His temple was within the precincts of Karnak.
