Anubis

Anubis is a stand featured in Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Appearance/Personality
Anubis appears as a far more vicious version of the god its named for, with a human body and a dog head. However, it's bound to a scimitar with a guard consisting of a pair of spikes pointing to the blade. It has no true master, as its user died 500 years ago, so it mostly serves itself. Despite this, it has had a few users since its form as a sword works very well.

Known Users

 * Caravan Serai - Anubis' original user from 500 years ago.


 * Chaka - A young man who finds the sword in a pile of rubble. Defeated by Jean-Pierre Polnareff and Silver Chariot.


 * Khan - A barber possessed by the sword after Chaka's defeat. Defeated by Jotaro Kujo.


 * Jean Pierre Polnareff


 * Random Child


 * Random Cow

Synopsis
Anubis is a stand without a user that Dio found in a dark museum 500 years after its user and creator died. Anubis swore loyalty to Dio after Dio defeated it using The World.

Anubis is first introduced when it is found by a farmer named Chaka, who then draws the sword out of curiosity and becomes possessed. The possessed Chaka then cuts down his companions and eventually challenges Polnareff, who defeats Chaka after some struggle and takes the sheathed blade. The barber, Khan, eventually picks up the sword and also becomes possessed, but is defeated by Jotaro.

Later, Polnareff himself also falls victim to Anubis, but is defeated by Jotaro after some difficulty. A child then picks up the sword, but trips over Iggy and releases it, causing it to land on a cow that thrashes its way into water and finally drops the blade. Anubis attempts to call out to the remaining fish to help it up, but nobody else takes notice of the sword, which presumably rusts to ruin and erases the stand from existence.

Abilities

 * Dimensional Bypass: Anubis's oddest ability allows it to manipulate where it slices along its blade. This allows it to swing through a stone column without damaging it, and make it seem like its sheath can cut anyone who touches it. This means it can, in effect, slice a person's internal organs in half without damaging the person's skin.


 * Intelligent Development: Anubis has an extremely dangerous ability to remember any attack that is launched against it and counter it. This is truly deadly if it fights a person more then once, because the same tactic will not work on it more than once, no matter how well planned out it is. This, combined with its ability to control its wielder, means it can attack the same person repeatedly, wearing them down by constantly remembering their attacks until they have none left to use.


 * Mind Control: Anubis is able to control whoever draws it, no matter how strong their willpower is. Even other stand users are not immune to this effect, as Polnareff fell victim to this ability when he drew the sword.
