Anubis

Anubis are mutated kobolds, created by being submerged in death-attribute Mana before birth. Their base Rank is 3.^[1]

Appearance

Their appearance is that of humans with dark skin and the black-furred heads and tails of dogs. If they conceal their heads and tails well, they could be able to disguise themselves as humans.^[1] Anubises are all born with black fur, as opposed to kobolds who also come in other colors.^[2]

Abilities

Anubises are stronger than normal kobolds.^[2] All of their body’s characteristics are superior to normal Kobolds, and their intelligence is no exception. They lack the claws that Kobolds possess on their hands and feet, but they are able to use their fingers more skillfully instead. They possess the【Dark Vision】and【Status Effect Resistance】skills from birth, and they possess a large amount of Mana, so many of them possess a greater aptitude for magic than normal Kobolds.^[1]

Reproduction

Their urge to breed and fertility is lower than normal Kobolds, being born in groups of three at most. While normal Kobolds need only three months to develop to maturity, Anubises require ten months. Though this is conjecture, it is estimated that while the lifespan of normal Kobolds is about thirty years, the lifespan of Anubises is more than double that.^[1]

History

The captive ghoul women who had been impregnated by kobolds rejected Vandalieu's offer of abortions, since they wanted to compensate for the loss in working force, caused by the men in their tribes being wiped out: "If we care for them from the time they are born, they will grow up to obey us." During the exodus, Vandalieu used mana transfer on the women to simulate the devil's nest conditions, which ensured a punctual and healthy pregnancy. All the children turned out black and they are displayed as a new race by appraisal, for some reason, probably due to his thick mana.^[2]

As the Anubis race has only just been born, it is unknown what kind of superior races of Anubises may exist. If one were to report the existence of Anubises to the Adventurers’ Guild with proof, they would be rewarded handsomely for reporting the existence of a new race of monsters, but that would be difficult at present.^[1]
