Why Jackal of all K9?

Did SD fear Konami would sue them, since fox hunting is easily associated with Britain?

Was the fox originally going the be the attacking team’s mascot?

whatever the reason jackal sounds way better than fox anyways.

It has nothing to do with egyptian gods and everything to do with being a fandom bicycle.

No foxes
No dragons

Nothing that would make them too overjoyed in the pants

But jackals spark the Anubis feels that cause their loins to stir

So it’s just a little excitement

but not too much

Honestly foxes are kinda overdone. You always hear fox or wolf in media, but rarely jackal unless it’s related to egypt. I’m glad they chose something different

I thought Anubis is a dog?

Technically he’s an egyptian golden wolf, but jackal is a more direct translation and was what the egyptians called those creatures. Modern day gene testing showed it’s closer to a wolf, but he’s still referred to as a jackal.

still refers to “Day of the Jackal
