What It Is
A jackal-headed warrior in Egyptian-style armour, standing ready with a spear. The sculpt captures that classic Anubis look—elongated snout, pointed ears, upright posture—but kitted out for battle rather than the afterlife. The armour's got proper Egyptian detailing without going overboard, and there's a cape or headdress element that adds a bit of divine flair. The spear's held in a guard stance, not mid-thrust, so it works equally well as a sentry or a skirmisher.
At The Table
This one's built for desert tombs and ancient temples. In D&D 5e or Pathfinder 2e, it's your go-to for any Egyptian-themed dungeon—Construct guardians that actually look the part, or undead warriors bound to protect a pharaoh's burial chamber. The stat block could run anywhere from CR 2 (basic temple guard) up to CR 5 or 6 if you're treating them as elite protectors with divine spellcasting. Bonus points if your party's looting a lost pyramid and these lads step out of alcoves when someone touches the wrong sarcophagus.
For Shadowdark or OSE, scale it back—make them disciplined foot soldiers in the service of a desert lich or a forgotten god. They don't need magic; just give them pack tactics and a solid morale save. In Call of Cthulhu, this could be a cultist wearing a ritual mask in a 1920s dig site gone wrong, or an actual manifestation if your Keeper's feeling generous with the Mythos. Works nicely in a desert hexcrawl too—nomadic mercenaries who've adopted Anubis iconography, or the last remnants of a theocratic city-state your players just stumbled into.
If you're running something more narrative like Blades in the Dark, imagine a gang enforcer in a fantasy Doskvol quarter themed around death rites and ancestor worship. Or just use it as a cool NPC guard captain in any game that needs a bit of ancient mysticism without leaning full mummy.
