Enkidu was created by the gods from clay and water to be a rival and equal to Gilgamesh, who had become a tyrant over the people of Uruk. Initially a "wild man" who lived among animals, Enkidu was eventually civilized and traveled to Uruk to challenge Gilgamesh. After a legendary wrestling match that ended in a stalemate, the two recognized each other as equals and formed a deep, transformative bond.
