Another tell-tale aspect of their appearance is a pair of large, pointed ears that stand up and extend far above the top of the head. Anubi possess superhuman strength, and, although weaker than Grimms, they can cause them some trouble. They are also incredibly agile, able to leap from one vertical surface to another and perform other acrobatics with ease.
Behavior
Anubi are a powerful Wesen with Egyptian roots and a rich history. They are known to be protective of the dead and respectful of artifacts. Thus, they are often involved with the Beati Paoli, an alliance involved with the preservation of Wesen culture. In ancient Egypt, many Wesen species were worshiped as gods; Anubi were worshiped as the protector of the dead and embalming.
The Egyptians believed that anyone buried with an Anubis would themselves become a god. This led to a horrific torture and slaughter of hundreds of slaves in search of Anubi, but only a few Anubi were ever found, and even fewer were ever successfully mummified in full woge. Anubi are strong, agile, and seemingly fearless, making them a worthy opponent for many Wesen and even Grimms.
