Anubis
(Also known as Anpu)

Son of Nephthys and Osiris. Known as a guardian and guide of the dead. He leads the dead to the where his/her heart is weighed and carefully checks the scales. His paternal lineage is a matter of debate. One story says that he was born as a result of Osiris mistaking Nephthys for Isis. Nephthys was careful to conceal her pregnancy from everybody and Anubis was secretly born in a field. Isis found out about it and brought the baby back to her home. She allowed the child to be suckled by a greyhound (or some form of dog) who just had a litter of puppies. Anubis grew up with the instincts of the dog.
