An Anubis Mask as a mundane item is a common sight in Kemetish bazaars, from simple dog masks worn in the streets during festivals to ornate and reverent holy relics used in sacred funereal rites. Likewise, the magical versions vary wildly in appearance, intentionally made to mimic the items they are pretending to be. The base appearance is always some manner of jackal mask of polished wood decorated in the style of the Giansetti skull carvers and sometimes set with rows of bone spikes or precious stones.
Those aware of Anubis Masks as magical objects usually believe them to be associated with the ancient Kemetish embalming traditions, but this is an total fabrication. They were actually invented in the last two centuries, created in the early days of the secret society of graverobbers known as The Seekers. Far from being religious relics, they are arcane tools to protect these tomb raiders as they pilfer actual religious treasures.
Powers
===Anti-rot.=== A creature wearing an Anubis Mask has *Advantage* on saves against contracting ***Mummy Rot***. More importantly, when the creature takes ongoing damage from ***Mummy Rot***, they can make an additional save (without *Advantage*) to end the curse.
===Gas Protection.=== While wearing an Anubis Mask, a creature produces a mild breeze of fresh elemental air from their pores. They cannot suffocate and are immune to any form of poison gas, gas spore, or airborne disease.
==Curse.== While not technically a curse, an unfortunate side effect of the **Gas Protection** feature of this item is that the generated air is extremely volatile and reactive to fire. A creature wearing an Anubis Mask has ***Vulnerability*** to fire damage.
