=Jackal, Gaurdian of the Dead!=

Anubis, the god of mummification and embalming. Guardian of the cemetery. Guider of dead souls through the underworld kingdom of Osiris. Witnesses the weighing of the heart. Anubis is all of these. He is pretty much the god of the dead but not quite. Anubis has the head of the jackal with the body of a man although he does appear sometimes as just a jackal. His father is Osiris and his mother is Nephthys but after Anubis was born she abounded him in the wild. After a while Isis found him with the aid of some dogs. When Isis found him Anubis stayed with her. At the time she was married to Osiris. Anubis came to be the god of mummification and embalmment when Nephthys murdered Osiris and cut him into small pieces. Anubis got these pieces and made them a body again through mummification. As the son of Osiris, Anubis can travel through the underworld, earth and the heavens. He protects Isis and Osiris when they travel out of the underworld kingdom. Anubis is very caring for his family and was reunited with Nephthys. She then joined them without any fights when Osiris came back as a mummy.
