Anubi

From Charmed

Appeared in the novel Something Wiccan This Way Comes.

The Anubi are very tall demons, characteristized by wearing long black robes. Anubi have large, shiny jackal heads with long snouts, blank staring eyes and large black claws

The first record of the Anubi originated in ancient Egypt in the Nile delta.

They were demigods, followers of the god Anubis, who decided the fate of the soul upon death. After betraying Anubis, the Anubi were cast off to live a mortal life and to die a mortal death.

Decades after their banishment, as the Anubi began to grow weak, they went to a witch to demand a spell that would return them to demigods before their imminent death. When the witch couldn't help them, they killed her and drank her blood. It is in this way that they discovered that they gained strength from the blood of witches and could live forever off their blood.

Anubi drain the blood and keep it in canisters to be stored and used later. They need to drink only a bit at a time.

They can be vanquished by a Power of Three spell.

The Anubi were vanquished by Piper Halliwell.
