By book

Book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook

On a crossbow's card: the long-forgotten goddess, jealous and terrible, abandoned by the elf mothers for Apito, who cursed the high elf court's seed into the Fae Diaspora; the crossbow was a gift to her last warrior guardian (B3 ch. 24).

Book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Odette's god: 'I will be performing as the famed, ancient goddess, Nekhebit!' — a system message says she has re-ascended; her origin 'is one of betrayal and revenge'; unlike the floor's other resurrected gods she is nobody's retainer and will have one of her own (B6 ch. 36). Emberus's quest: 'the primordial goddess Nekhebit has returned to the halls. She holds an ancient grudge against my family, especially Apito. Find a temple of Nekhebit and question the priestess' (B6 ch. 38). Katia's crossbow is still hers.

Book 7 — This Inevitable Ruin

Odette onboarded as her (B7 ch. 43); Hellik's accusation (B7 ch. 54); 'The Oak Fell has been named Champion of Nekhebit' (B7 ch. 76); the Court's rules (B7 ch. 77); the smite clause (B7 ch. 79); 'champion of Nekhebit, harbinger of doom' (B7 ch. 86).

Book 8 — A Parade of Horribles

The Navigator reads Donut's title, 'The Champion of Nekhebit' (B8 ch. 3); the title gives her Fresh into Salt (B8 ch. 44). Rosetta: 'The tree gave fruit to the old gods, including Nekhebit, who is now also called the Scavenger Mother of Mothers', a life and protector deity depicted as a vulture, who 'had three children. A son, a daughter, and a centipede' (B8 ch. 69). 'Odette as Nekhebit' is among the AI's images of those vying for the throne (B8 ch. 99).
