Homebrew Anubian Species Details
"Our race is as old as the sands of time. The god Anubis is our progenitor and our god. Do not dwell on what you don't have but immerse yourself in the abilities and blessing we all share given to us by Anubis himself ", said the old priest, Narmer.
"I know Wise One but their is something deep within me that calls me to wander different lands and places, to observe and interact with other races. I worry I may become corrupted and tainted in my travels and forget my beliefs, my sense of worth... I fear I my lose my true self", the young boy, Kufu, answered.
The priest smiled, put his hand on the young boy's shoulder and said, 'Be strong, be brave and do not be frightened You will not travel alone, for wherever you go so goes Anubis'.
— wise words of the priest, Narmer
Bi-pedal humanoids that strongly resemble wild jackals with similar heads, bodies, legs, tails and fur patterns and colors. Anubians are opportunistic as well as cautious, loyal yet often free spirited, investigative, clever and orderly but can be mysterious. Their natural home is the arid deserts and scrub lands, yet when Anubis calls them to wander, they can be found anywhere... from lands of ice and snow, desolated and abandoned forested areas, mountains, badlands, jungles, marshes, swamps or ruins. Anubians are adept in living in harsh environments with an instinctual sense of survival.
