Even the word itself sounds pretty ominous.
So, let's take that giant, scary Anubis and shrink him down into kiddo size and, zap, we've got a totally inviting deity of death to help soothe our fears. We can make that image just a little, oh, we dunno. But, they're going to feel truly mighty in this Anubis look, either way! Frankly, a cute black pupper is a good deal easier to deal with than the phantom robe with a slashing scythe.The unknown is pretty scary.
