Anubis technically isn't a death god. He was the god of the process of entombment. In Egypt, jackals would often dig up corpses and feed on them, and the Egyptians believed a body must be preserved properly for its soul to reach the Duat, so they invoked a jackal god to command the jackals and other similar beasts to protect the bodies of the dead. The true death gods of Egypt were Seker, Osiris, and Sobek, and to a degree, Horus.

Also, Set isn't a death god at all. He is a god of chaos and darkness, the "yin" of the "yang" of the justice and order (known as Ma'at) of Ra.

This didn't mean he was a devil either. It was considered necessary and correct to worship Set as well. The closest thing Egypt had to a "devil" was the serpent Apep, or Apophis (where we get the word Apocalypse from), who Ra had to slay every night for the sun to rise.

I agree with the above. He was a god of death in the sense that he led souls to Osiris, his father, to be judged. Seth is merely a god of the wild deserts, or a 'chaos' god.

Also, Sekhmet is Anubis's mother. :)

But still cute. XD
