Anubis

アヌビス神

Anubis is a minor antagonist featured in the 3rd part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders, specifically the "'Anubis'" story arc. Anubis is unique in being a userless Stand who can possess anyone who wields it, and repeatedly tries to kill the Joestar Group's members in Egypt. Following the death of its original user, Caravan Serai, Anubis loyally serves DIO, both out of gratitude for freeing it and because it was defeated in battle by the vampire's Stand. Anubis is over-aggressive, entirely focused on killing people. It relishes fighting because it memorizes the techniques of its opponents to improve itself. It often encourages its victims to wield it by telling them that they are the greatest swordsmen in the world, but it won't hesitate to abandon them if they are defeated or the opportunity to possess a stronger user arises. As with many of DIO's minions, it is prone to gloating when it seems to have the advantage against its enemies, which proved to be its downfall against Jotaro Kujo. When cornered or put in an extreme disadvantage, ie. a situation it can no longer control, Anubis is shown to be fumbling and comically panicky. It represents the Egyptian God of Death, Anubis.
