Tash is a fictional character found in C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia series. He is an antagonist in the novels The Horse and His Boy and The Last Battle.
He is the patron god of the ruling class of Calormen. The Calormene capital is named Tashbaan and the Tisrocs and Tarkaans and Tarkheenas claim descent from Tash. The worship of Tash is the only formal religion depicted in the world of Narnia: there are temples to Tash, Calormenes regularly use ritual phrases such as 'Tash the inexorable, the irresistible' and 'Tash preserve us', and he is the only being referred to by characters as a god. At the end of the series, he appears as a terrible demon with a skeletal, humanoid body, a vulture-like head and four taloned arms.
