In [[Ravenloft]], Anubis is known as the god of mummification, worshipped by the people of Har'Akir and [[werejackal]]s. [[Cleric]]s of Anubis who have proven themselves are granted the gift of lycanthrophy, and can dominate other werejackals.

Basically, he's largely like all the other Historical Fantasy deities in Ravenloft and largely shoved in there because Har'Akir is part of the [[Ethnic Fantasy|Fantasy Egypt]] cluster of the [[Demiplane of Dread]]. He is different to his [[Planescape]] counterpart in that he a) is closer to his mythological self instead of pulling duty as the gravekeeper of deities on the [[Astral Plane]], and b) he's outright evil, because ''of course'' any Death-related god in Ravenloft is going to be evil.

As a Historical Fantasy deity, Anubis survived the transition from [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] to [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] intact, unlike the various Ravenloft deities who were lifted from settings like the [[Forgotten Realms]], who had to be replaced with new, license-free equivalents.
