Anubite

Anubite is a hostile humanoid jackal that is a guardian of Anu's Castle. It spawns when the player gets within five blocks of a Anubite Statue, where an explosion will take place and the Anubite will come to life. As there are over a hundred Anubite Statues in the castle, the player will be forced to fight Anubites the entire step of the way, whilst trying to get to Anu.

Appearance
Anubite is a large human-jackal that stands at 2.3 blocks tall. It has blood-red malevolent eyes and it wears some kind of red and black Ancient Armor that is inaccessible to the player. It has a short snout which has several huge tooth poking out of it, which looks somewhat like a huge smile and it wields an enlarged version of an Ancient Sword.

Behavior
As soon as they come to life, the Anubite will attempt to attack the player the best it can, even if it can't physically reach the player. Every so often when an Anubite is attempting to attack the player, it will stop dead and stare for several seconds before resuming the assault.

Anubites have 20 heath and attack with two hearts of heath on an unarmored player, as well as being very fast, nearly the sprinting speed of a player, and on top of all of that, they can teleport away from the player, like an enderman. This shouldn't be too much of a problem for most players, as the majority of players would go into the castle with suitable armor and weapons. In this case, one Anubite is no problem, however, a reckless player that skips throughout the castle could easily grab the attention of many Anubites at a time, as well as the fact that many times three Anubite Statues will spawn together.

When Anu is defeated, despite the fact that the Sentry Pigman will not respawn, Anubites will still linger the castle and be a prominent threat, so be careful when exiting.

Trivia
