Anubis is a medium-sized humanoid Pal with human hands, animal feet, and a dog-like snout. It has blue, dog-like ears, and a gold trim along its outfit, which resembles Egyptian garb.
Anubis is a very powerful and useful Pal both in combat and in the player's base. In combat, it possesses high attack and several exclusive Ground-type moves that make it a great damage dealer, while its passive allows it to completely dodge the powerful attacks of enemy Pals on occasion. In the base, Anubis has the highest base Handiwork suitability in the entire game, and a decently high Mining and Transporting skill, making it excellent for performing work on the assembly line, gathering Ore, or moving items around the base.
This Pal looks similar to--and is very likely named after--the Egyptian god Anubis, whose name comes from Latin and Ancient Greek. Anubis is prominently featured as the Pal the Statue of Power is based on. This might be intentional, as the statues needing souls and effigies from the player to boost stats could hint at Anubis being the god of funeral rites and the judge of the dead in ancient Egyptian culture.
Melpaca, Anubis, and Suzaku are the only Pals with essentially the same name in Japanese and English.
