A jackal headed god from the Egyptian time period; often portrayed as the god of the dead or the guardian of the afterlife. He is also known to be a finder of lost things or a keeper of things. The experienced Egyptian priest could call upon Anubis to send guardians (supposedly in the form of large dogs or jackals) to guard something of importance.
