Anubis was a jackal-headed deity who presided over the embalming process and accompanied dead kings in the afterworld. When kings were being judged by Osiris, Anubis placed their hearts on one side of a scale and a feather (representing Maat) on the other.

Sometimes Anubis is a man with a jackal head

Bulgae (Korean: 불개; lit. fire dog) refers to the mythical fire dogs in Korean mythology, that come from the kingdom of darkness and always chase the sun and moon, causing eclipses when they bite both the celestial bodies. Bulgae are strong and fierce dogs or hairy dogs which are likely to be the indigenous Korean dog breed sasari, which means "ghost chasing dog".

Where can I adopt one

Its body is composed of lightning and with the form of a white and blue wolf or dog (or even a wolf or dog wrapped in lightning) being the most common, although it can be represented with other forms such as tanuki, leopard, fox, weasel, marten, tiger, cat, bear, porcupine, tapir, elephant, rat, rabbit, bat, squirrel, boar, deer, badger, mongoose, civet, insectivoran, pangolin, monkey, rhinoceros, sea creature (usually a marine mammal such as a dugong, whale, dolphin, porpoise or seal, although it can also take form of a fish, mollusk or crustacean), insect, arachnid, millipede, centipede, qilin or dragon. It may also fly about as a ball of lightning (in fact, the creature may be an attempt to explain the phenomenon of lightning, such as ball lightning). Its cry sounds like thunder.

WTH??? I have never heard of this, so I googled it and found out. And I AM FROM EAST ANGLIA!! 😱🤣 This is from Wikipedia: Artist's impression of the Black Shuck. Commonly described features include large red eyes, bared teeth and shaggy black fur. In English folklore, Black Shuck, Old Shuck, Old Shock or simply Shuck is the name given to a ghostly black dog which is said to roam the coastline and countryside of East Anglia, one of many such black dogs recorded in folklore across the British Isles. Accounts of Black Shuck form part of the folklore of Norfolk, Suffolk, the Cambridgeshire Fens and Essex, and descriptions of the creature's appearance and nature vary considerably; it is sometimes recorded as an omen of death, but, in other instances, is described as companionable.

The only reason I got this is because it's mentioned in one of the Harry Potter Books. I think it's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban where the idea of the omen story was mixed in.

Black Shuck.

Looks like Bambi's Mom, minus horns.... sorry...too soon?

This a hell panther if it's a hell beast at all

Aralezes are dog-like creatures, or spirits, in Armenian cultural beliefs or in the Armenian mythology, who live in the sky, or on mount Massis, according to other myths. They were praised with Ara the Beautiful and Shamiram in Old Armenia.
