“The Ethiops say that their gods are flat-nosed and black,
While the Thracians say that theirs have blue eyes and red hair.
Yet if cattle or horses or lions had hands and could draw,
And could sculpt like men, then the horses would draw their gods
Like horses, and cattle like cattle; and each they would shape
Bodies of gods in the likeness, each kind, of their own.”

― Xenophanes

Plenty of gods don't look like men, a lot of them even being animals. Egyptian, Sumerian, Aztec, Mayan, Incan, Hawaiian, Native American, Hindu, Celtic, etc. all have animal gods.
