- Biology/Physical Description:
While in his 4 legged form, Anubrier has their earthly tether activated, and creates a physical body for Anubrier to inhabit while roaming the earth for souls of lost pokemon. This change which forces them into a fox-like quadruped. Roughly the size of a golden retriever. It always carries it tome of soul in its mouth, where should a wayward soul be found, it will be sucked into the book in order to guide that soul to the afterlife.
While in his Jackal form, Anubrier has left their physical form to return to their original form, and is able to stand up on two legs like you would see in Egyptian Statues. An ethereal like existence between the living and dead in the otherworld. Since Anubrier is in the otherworld, its tome has been released from its binds, and all the souls are released to the path where Anubrius would walk them to the afterlife.
- Story: Legend states that Arceus created the universe. As Arceus began to breath life in to universe, people and pokemon began a journey together to live in a world together. The moment the first Pokemon had died, Anubrier came into existence in the otherworld, a place between the living and the afterlife, and in that moment, it had a book appear in front of it. As Anubrier saw the book, it began to understand his purpose, to travel between the living and otherworld in order to guide those souls to the afterlife. Upon entering the land of the living for the first time, Arubrier noticed that it had no form to travel, but was able to analyze the land of the living based on his ethereal knowledge in a time from too short to count, and the creation of the 4 legged form. This came about because Arubrier was able to analyze that the sovereign deity of the land was Arceus, and so in order to roam the land as a sentient being, it became in the likeness of Arceus' image, a quadruped. After analyzing the rest of the pokemon in existence however, Arubrier noticed that taking on a form of a God was not the easiest way to travel in secret, and as such, its body took on a form that would be able to go as unnoticed as possible, a large fox like creature. But while it was able to suppress a lot of its being into a physical form, if was fully unable to compress everything, which left markings on its body, and a crack in its face. For its head, it was unable to fully transform into a fox like creature (take body of ninetails and tail of thievul for example), part of its Jackal form remained in the form of a head. As it wanders the earth looking for souls it can only gather a certain amount in its tome before it has to return to the otherworld (It still took hundreds/thousands of years of collecting). As such, it has to release the souls, which can take just as long as collecting them did. It is in the first time the Anubrier was back in the otherworld that Ghost Pokemon (besides Giratina, who was created by the Original One) came into existence. Arceus noticed that the dead were not leaving the world as they had been for centuries, and that is when the existence of Ghost pokemon became to be. Wayward soul's of long extinct pokemon were once again given shape. Pokemon like Gengar, Chandelure, Drifblim, all were once lost souls that were able to be given form (Gengar by a dead Clefable, Chandelure by a Chandelier, Drifblim by a hot air balloon). While not many records are known about Anubrier's existence, as not many living were able to see it's earthly form, the people of earth question its very existence, as no one has ever seen it in a time when records could be kept. However the path that Arubrier takes from earth to otherworld can only be entered in one spot, the place that Arubrier originally landed on the planet. It is said that in that area, many ghost pokemon like Dusknoir (who was also known to help Anubrius as a guide to the afterlife during the time it was away) and Cofafrigus guard the gate. Legend tells that any ghost pokemon who is caught in the area of Anubrier's path will be stronger than an average ghost pokemon, but due to their intense strength, and the fear that the area produces, not many wish to approach. The ghost pokemon felt that the gate needed more protection, and thus the Ancient Tomb of Anubrius. It is said that the people named it the Ancient Tomb of Anubrius because not only are the ghost pokemon guarding the gate, they are also guarding the physical form left behind when it entered otherworld, which when not inhabited looks like a sitting statue of the fox like creature (hence why people have never believed in its existence). It wasn't until Anubrius was set to finally return to the land of the living, that a lone trainer who had been travelling to world trying to catch them all, that he braved the Ruins. Humanity had learned that bringing their ghost pokemon to the ruins not only made them stronger, but it gave the ability for some to evolve beyond what was previously capable due to the amount of spiritual energy in the area (much like mt coronot or other specific location only evolutions). This lone trainer decided to brave the ruins, and after defeating a set of 6 sleeping Cofafrigus's and a Dusknoir at the final levels on the ruin, he was able to enter the inner tomb, and get to witness the statue be brought back to life and witness Anubrius in all its majesty for the first time in documented history. As this Pokemon was once thought to not even exist, he knew he had to catch it. And so with his pokemon, he decided to challenge Anubrius to a battle, and was eventually able to catch it. Once caught, Arceus noticed something that should not have been caught had been, it created another being in it's likeness as there can never not be an Anubrius fulfilling its duties as a guide. (This is also how I would like to combat when trainers catch Legendary/Mythical pokemon in games, I mean we are literally able to catch God, so if something like Dialga is ever caught, well time cant just stop, so another one is instantly created to fill the void). After catching it and being able to register it to his pokedex, the trainer noticed an item on the ground that wasnt there before. What was sitting there was what was called the Golden Sarcophagus. Arceus created and granted this item to any trainer who was able to catch an Anubrius, allowed the trainer to use the sarcophagus in order to allow Anubrius to use its Jackle form while standing inside of it. As Anubrius Jackle Form was not something that was ever supposed to be in the real world, it was also granted the ghost typing, while erasing its psychic type, as its psychic type was only needed for detecting the lost souls. Its fairy typing shows its specialty against the once strongest creatures in the land, the Dragon Type, asserting its authority over all other pokemon as a once ethereal like being. Note: Jackal forms stats are way stronger than its 4 legged for. Think a jump like Zygarde 10% to its 100% with the use of the item)
