The Anubians were the former slaves of the Huducts. After they were liberated by K9 Mark I, they conquered other species.

Biology

The Anubians had golden skin, jackal-like heads with large, wing-like ears and glowing red eyes. (TV: Curse of Anubis)

Technology

After K9 liberated the Anubians they reverse engineered the mind-controlling Torcs worn on the head originally used by the Huducts to control the Anubians. They used pyramid-like spacecraft with cloaking devices to expand their empire. The Anubians were able to shoot energy blasts out of their palms. They could control their ships with the Ankhs on their chests. (TV: Curse of Anubis)

History

Thousands of years before 2050, the Anubians were forced to serve their overlord masters, the Huducts, for millennia. K9 travelled to Anubis and freed them, leaving them and the Huducts to reconcile in peace. This didn't last; the Anubians enslaved the Huducts and the Huducts wore the torcs on their necks. The Anubians controlled a vast empire, using the Huduct headbands to control their slaves. The Anubians sometimes fooled their potential slaves with the olive branch of peace.

During their history of conquest the Anubians attacked the Mandrels, Aeolians and Jixen.

In 2050, the Anubians turned their attention towards Earth. Two Anubians, Nehetka and Geb, travelled in a starship to Earth. These two agents tried to take over the planet, but were thwarted by K9 and his friends. (TV: Curse of Anubis)

Inspector Thorne incorporated DNA from the two Anubians into Project: Trojan. (TV: The Eclipse of the Korven)

Behind the scenes

  • The Anubians are the Osirians called by a different name to avoid copyright violation.
  • The Anubians are based on the Egyptian god Anubis. They also resemble the Osirans, who in turn resembled the traditional depictions of Set.
  • Their names are inspired by Egyptian deities (Geb being the father of Set for example).
