{{context}}
A '''lombax''' is a [[species]] from [[W:Insomniac Games|Insomniac Games]]' [[Ratchet & Clank]] [[video game]] series.

== History ==

Initially, the only Lombaxes in the series included [[Ratchet (Ratchet & Clank)|Ratchet]], [[Angela Cros]]s, and [[Alister Azimuth]]. According to a news broadcast in ''[[Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time|A Crack in Time]]'', Angela Cross is a Lombax who has been missing for three years. She does not have a tail, as it is revealed [[female]] Lombaxes lack one. Ratchet and Angela are the last known lombaxes in Ratchet's dimension after ''A Crack in Time'' when Azimuth dies.

A female Lombax named [[Rivet (Ratchet & Clank)|Rivet]] is a main character in the newest game in the franchise, ''[[Rift Apart]]''.

== Derscription ==

Lombaxes, originally from the planet '''Fastoon''', appear similar to [[bipedal]] [[anthropomorphic]] [[cat]]s with a [[tail]] similar to that of a [[lion]]. Unlike most other organic species in the games' universe which have two fingers and a thumb on each hand, lombaxes possess four fingers and a thumb. The species has an instinctive affinity towards gadgetry and machines.

[[File:Gazelle Zootopia.jpg|thumb|right|Gazelle, a fictional anthropomorphic gazelle from ''[[Zootopia]]''.]]
A '''gazelle''' is a member of any species of antelope belonging to one of three [[ungulate]] genera, ''Gazella'', ''Educratria'', or ''Nanger''. They are known for their long [[horn]]s and for being swift, and are native to much of Africa and parts of Asia. They are [[Stereotypes|stereotypically]] portrayed as being graceful.

In the furry fandom, gazelles are sometimes seen but are not particularly common. An example of a gazelle character in popular culture is [[Gazelle (Zootopia)|Gazelle]] from the film [[Zootopia]].

Anubis (god)

2022-08-03T19:45:17Z

2601:18D:4700:2D30:F1A2:F268:1E07:C301:

'''Anubis''' is the Greek name for the ancient [[Jackal (species)|jackal]]-headed god of the dead in [[Egyptian mythology]]. His name is more accurately vocalized as '''Anapa''', but he is also known as '''Sekhem Em Pet'''. He serves as both a guide of the recently departed and a guardian of the dead. The female counterpart to Anubis is '''Anput''', sometimes shortened to '''Anpu'''.

The Jackal was associated with the domain of the dead, due to the fact that the jackal oriented in the Western Desert. The cult of Anubis eventually became associated with that of [[Wikipedia:Osiris|Osiris]], which led to the belief that he was the son of Osiris and [[Wikipedia:Nephthys|Nephthys]], the wife of [[Wikipedia:Sutekh|Set]], who seduced Osiris in order to have a son when she discovered Set was infertile.

He supervises the embalming and mummification processes, and presides over the Opening of the Mouth ceremony. He also performs the Weighing of the Heart ceremony, in which the deceased person's heart is weighed against [[Wikipedia:Ma'at|Ma'at]]'s Feather of Truth. If the heart is heavier then the feather, the heart is fed to [[Wikipedia:Ammut|Ammut]], the devourer of souls.

Anubis is also linked to the Imuit fetish, which is a headless stuffed animal skin hanging from a pole standing in a pot, often illustrated on stelae or papyri. A model was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, but it is unknown what it was used for.

== Anubis animal ==
Anubis is traditionally said to have a head of a jackal which refers to the Egyptian jackal. Whether it's a subspecies of Golden jackal, subspecies of gray wolf or a species by itself, remains a topic of debate to this day. Ancient Greek considered it a wolf. In XX there was no consensus on the species' taxonomy. A 2007 DNA research placed it with Golden jackals, but a 2011 research placed it with gray wolves again and suggested that African wolf would be more appropriate name. As of 2015, the the term golden "jackal" is now updated as golden "wolf" following on genetic studies and similarities with other wolf species.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.sciencemag.org/biology/2015/07/african-golden-jackals-are-actually-golden-wolves |title=African golden jackals are actually golden wolves|accessdate=9 August 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/grrlscientist/2015/jul/30/golden-jackal-a-new-wolf-species-hiding-in-plain-sight |title=Golden jackal: A new wolf species hiding in plain sight|accessdate=9 August 2015}}</ref>

Another sacred animal of Anubis was a domestic dog which he was sometimes depicted as.

Ancient Egyptians depicted jackals and dogs very alike and sometimes depicted animals that looked like jackals and dogs at the same time. This canonical canine has thin black body, long legs, pointed muzzle and erect ears. It's that animal, it may be a jackal, a wolf or a dog, which is seen in works of artists inspired by Anubis.

The Anubis in either way, can be portrayed with or without a tail.

==Anubis, Anput, and furry==
Anubis and Anput are very popular among [[furry fans]] because of their [[anthropomorphic]] [[Jackal (species)|jackal]] form. As a result, they are a very popular subject of [[furry artwork]]. Many furries pattern themselves after Anubis or Anput, making jackals one of the more popular species of furry in the fandom.

[[Radio Comix]] publishes the [[Anubis: Dark Desire]] comic book series.
