Anubis - is a god of death, afterlife and underworld in ancient Egyptian religion. Usually depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head.

Anubis was never about fear.
More like… the stillness you enter when the noise dies.
When the Anubis map dropped — it wasn’t just dust and ruins.
It was internal. Ritualistic. Like standing inside your own mind.

So I went deeper.
Not chasing looks — just wondering how humans used to speak with death.
Anubis stood alone.
Not a ruler, but a shadow that leads.

This version became something else:
– a form between relic and plush, soft but unsettling
– a canine mask with glowing eyes, mouth half-open — like he's whispering, but from your ribcage
– sacred geometry in gold, and red like a dying sun

It balances on the edge of artifact and toy.
You’re not sure if it’s meant to protect… or to remind.
Either way — it looks back.

Some of the vibe comes from MTG: Amonkhet.

Short version: it’s a key.
To where? Depends on who’s holding it.
