Is it a little unusual that the "pharaoh" monster has authority over Anubis or Sphinx? I know "ruling over others" is the gimmick for this monster but if we're basing this off of real world mythology, I don't recall Egyptian gods serving pharaohs. It should be the other way around.

The Sphinx in Monster Girls (more Greek than Egyptian) is based on the D&D tradition instead of actual myth, which itself is based on people's confusion about the Sphinx. I have no idea when Anubis started being a servant, but the probable cause is that the preference for human-looking gods tends to result in animal gods becoming subservient; the art of Anubis tending to corpses almost certainly didn't help, since that is definitely servile work.
