Anubi

The Anubi are a race of jackal-headed beings with a deep connection to death and the afterlife. They are often associated with funerary rites and are known for their ability to communicate with spirits. The Anubi stand at an average height of six feet, with slender builds and dark fur that covers their entire body. Their heads resemble those of a jackal, with sharp teeth, keen eyes, and pointed ears that can swivel to catch even the slightest sound.

Anubi have a solemn and introspective nature, often choosing to spend their time in quiet reflection or communing with the spirits of the dead. They are skilled in the art of divination and can often see things that others cannot, making them excellent guides in matters of the spiritual and mystical realms.

Anubi live in small, tight-knit communities that are often located near places of death or other sites of spiritual significance. They have a deep respect for the dead and will often spend long hours performing funerary rites or communing with the spirits of the deceased. They are also known for their abilities in healing, using their connection to the afterlife to soothe the pain and suffering of the living.

The Anubi have a deep appreciation for the natural world, especially for the cycles of life and death that are an integral part of it. They work closely with the Fauns to protect the natural world and may use their abilities to help the Fauns communicate with animals and plants. They are also fiercely protective of their territories, working with other races to defend against outside threats.

The Anubi dislike those who disrespect the dead or who disrupt the natural balance of the world. They may view the Huli Jing and Kappa with caution due to their trickster nature and may be wary of the Nephilim and Naga, who have powers that can rival their own. However, the Anubi are always willing to form alliances with other races if it serves a common goal.

In their leisure time, Anubi may be found practicing their divination skills, meditating, or communing with the spirits of the dead. They may also enjoy exploring the natural world, seeking out places of spiritual significance or simply enjoying the beauty of the natural world. The Anubi value wisdom, knowledge, and balance above all else, and are always seeking to deepen their understanding of the world around them.
