Anubis and Apep Anubis Anubis is the god of embalming and the dead. He was also known as the guardian of the underworld. They say his appearance in human form was a man with a jackal head. His other form was just a jackal. The reason why his appearance is a jackal is because jackals are often seen in cemeteries, so the egyptians believed that Anubis watched over the dead. He also watches over the process of mummifying. Priests often wore a mask of Anubis during ceremonies. Anubis was son of Nephthys and Set, but in other stories his father was Osiris.

Apep Apep is the god of darkness and chaos. He was known as the Serpent of the Nile. He doesn't really have a human form. He was known to be a snake, lizard, or dragon. His parents are Neith and Nun. His siblings are Ra and Sobek. Because he is god of chaos, he fought with his brother Ra, god of the sun a lot.

His god form was a man body and a hawk head. His human form was a hawk. The egyptians described him as a falcon-headed man wearing the crowns of upper and lower Egypt. The story that got Horus to be the god of the pharaohs is when Set killed Osiris (father) and Set was the protector of the ruler of Egypt. Osiris went down to the underworld and he was the god of the underworld. Horus revenged his fathers death by killing Set. Now Horus is the the protector of the ruler of Egypt.
