Anubis

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

Appearance/Personality
Anubis appears as a scimitar with a guard consisting of a pair of spikes pointing to the blade. It can also manifest itself as a far more vicious version of the God its named for. It has no true master, as its maker 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' creator, from 500 years ago. He is named after the Santana album, Caravanserai.


 * 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, Dio found it in a dark museum 500 years after  his user and creator died. He swore loyalty to Dio after Dio defeated it using The World.

Anubis is first introduced when it is found by Chaka, who then draws the sword and, possessed by Anubis, cuts down his companions and eventually challenges Polnareff. Polnareff defeats Chaka after some struggle, and Khan eventually picks up the sword and becomes possessed as well, and is defeated by Jotaro. Polnareff also falls victim to Anubis, but is defeated by Jotaro after some difficulty and the sword is dropped into the river (after possessing a child who trips over Iggy and a cow that thrashes it's way into water), where it presumably rusts to ruin and erases the stand from existence.

Abilities

 * Dimensional Bypass: Anubis' 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 won't 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 withdrew the sword.

Trivia

 * Chaka and Khan are named after American singer and songwriter, Chaka Khan, while Khan is also named after German disco band Dschinghis Khan.
