View source for Anu-anu


'''Anu-anu''' is a [[god]] shaped like a [[werewolf]] that appears as a character in the computer game [[Discworld Noir]]. Originally worshipped in [[Klatch]], where a temple dedicated to him still exists in [[Al-Khali]]. During the events of the game he has been reduced to [[Small Gods|small god]] status, physically reducing him to the form of a small dog, but his religion still existed in [[Überwald]] amongst werewolf clans. One of the proponents of the religion of Anu-anu was [[Ulrich von Überwald]] whose wife Carlotta helped to found a chapter in [[Ankh-Morpork]].

He and a cult named the [[Cult of Anu-anu]] plan to summon [[Nylonathatep]] by orchestrating eight murders in specific places of [[Ankh-Morpork]]. This plot is done with the goal of Anu-anu defeating the dark god using the [[Tsortese Falchion]] and ascending to a new status as one of the greatest gods on the [[Discworld]]. While the entire group is in charge of planning the murders, Anu-anu is the one who actually commits them. Later they summon Nylonathatep in an underground altar under [[The Dysk]] Theatre, but something unexpected makes them lose control of Nylonathathep and it wounds Anu-anu. [[Carlotta von Überwald]] stays with him taking care of his wounds and takes him somewhere else, but he is never seen again.

In the game Anu-anu can be encountered in his dog form outside the [[Guild of Archaeologists, Antiquarians and Tomb Evacuators]] and in [[Wizards' Pleasaunce]].
