With thanks to @catmelot whom I commissioned for this piece, meet an example of the Anubisi species!

Imagine if you mixed a wolverine, fox and hyena. This is what you get.

They are my spin on Warcrafts Gnolls, Wolvar and to a lesser extent Vulpera for a fun side project I am tinkering with. Though they could also work really well for an original project.

The Anubisi are the creations of the Vanir (RPG lore) Kasmut!

They're notoriously difficult to magically influence or corrupt allowing them to live in areas most consider magically or spiritually hostile. Being carnivorous they are more aggressive than many species by default, but they are neither dimwitted, nor irrational.

A relatively stout people, they are not overtly dimorphic, at least not to a humans eye. But the Anubisi do take after Hyena as far as having those assigned female at birth generally being bigger than their male counterparts.

Extremely adaptable, they tend to blend in to their environments easily, with leaner Anubisi being found in jungles and forest (Vulpera), their stoutest being found in the mountains and cold places (Wolvar) and those who exist between the two extreme calling great savannah, badlands and fields their homes (Gnolls).

Here's some of the earlier drafts too which I really like:
