Anubian Baskurrs[1][2] are a non-sapient alien species from an unknown planet.
Appearance[]
Anubian Baskurrs look like a cross between dog and a dinosaur with some feline features (e.g. longer hind legs). They have a blue colored body with black stripes.
Anubian Baskurrs have a dinosaur like skull with a jagged upper jaw, red eyes and pointed ears. They have a small pointed chain of plates protruding from their spine, which extends to form a short tail.
Anubian Baskurrs have three pointed toes on each leg and their hind legs are larger than their fore legs making them agile and fast on their feet.
Only female Anubian Baskurrs have been seen.
Behavior[]
Anubian Baskurrs behaviour suggests high intelligence and social capacity, similar to that of Earth dogs. They can easily be tamed by being loved and cared for. They enjoy being scratched behind their ears.
They can be made to obey by high-frequency whistles, such as those from Khyber's gills.
Anubian Baskurrs will show loyalty to those that treat them well, as shown by Zed defecting to Kevin Levin after having been a loyal and obedient pet to Khyber for years.
Anubian Baskurrs are highly capable predators. Whether they are naturally lone predators or pack hunters is unclear, as Zed is highly social (suggesting pack behaviour) yet extremely capable on her own. Zed's talent with the Nemetrix is also noteworthy as it shows a high degree of adaptability and neuroplasticity (able to control bodies that are far removed from their own physiology).
Powers and Abilities[]

Anubian Baskurrs have strong sense of smell and hearing.
