They function as an elite faction of [[Agents of DIO|DIO's army]], consisting of nine [[Stand User]]s. The gods are the origins of the [[Tarot Cards|tarot cards]].<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 188}}</ref>
 
==Summary==
The Egypt 9 Glory Gods represent the nine members of the {{W|Ennead}}. Notably, the group is host to various irregularities in the traditional rules behind Stands: the members of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods include a pair of [[Osiris|twin]] [[Atum|Stands]] with near-identical abilities, a [[Horus|Stand]] wielded by a [[Pet Shop|falcon]], a [[Khnum|formless Stand]] that changes [[Oingo|its user]]'s appearance, and even a [[Anubis|userless Stand]] bound to an ancient sword. After the [[Joestar Group]] reaches Egypt, the nine Stands and their current users assemble at [[DIO's Mansion|DIO's mansion]], where [[Dio Brando|DIO]] commands them to kill the group before they can reach him. The members then scatter across Egypt to lie in wait for the heroes.
The [[Stand]]s of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods are named after some of the {{W|Ennead}} and {{W|Ancient Egyptian deities|other ancient Egyptian gods}}. They are sent by [[DIO]] in an attempt to kill the [[Joestar Group|Crusaders]] as they travel across Egypt to reach [[DIO's Mansion|DIO's mansion]] in Cairo.
 
Every member is human aside from [[Anubis]] and [[Pet Shop]]. Anubis is a Stand bound to a sword whose [[Minor Characters/Part 3#Caravan Serai|original user]] is deceased, and [[Pet Shop]] is a falcon.

==Creation and Development==
WhenAs [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]] was drawingdrew the Egypt 9 Glory Gods' Standsand their users, he placed more importance on the story and tricks than the designs.<ref>{{JJV|Anubis}}</ref>
 
[[Atum]]'s card was the only one to not be present in the manga or anime. However, it was included in [[Adventure Battle Card]] and the [[Stardust Crusaders OVA]] 2007 boxsetbox set, despite [[Telence T. D'Arby]] not appearing in the OVA.
 
[[Khnum]]'s card is shown normally in the anime but also received an original design of it, acting as the design on [[Oingo]]'s shirt. None of the other cards depictedreceived gota ansimilar original design otherwise.

==Trivia==
*The title,membership "Egypt 9 Glory Gods" is derived fromof the Greek term "Ennead";, whichthe wasinspiration used to describefor the nine9 primaryGlory deitiesGods, in Egyptian mythology. The Ennead's membershiptraditionally consists of the gods {{wW|Atum}}, {{wW|Shu (Egyptian god)|Shu}}, {{wW|Tefnut}}, {{wW|Geb}}, {{W|Nut (goddess)|Nut}}, {{w|Geb}}, {{wW|Osiris}}, {{wW|Isis}}, {{wW|Set (deity)|Set}}, and {{wW|Nephthys}}, occasionally including {{W|Horus}}. Of the members of the group, only five stem from the Ennead itself, with {{W|Khnum}}, {{W|Thoth}}, {{W|Anubis}}, and {{W|Bastet}} being taken from other ranks of the {{W|Ancient Egyptian deities|Egyptian pantheon}}.
*In [[JoJo's Venture]] and [[Heritage for the Future|its]] [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (PS1 Game)|revisions]], the Egypt 9 Glory Gods' cards can be seen in battle title cards and the PlayStation version's Tarot Card Reading mini-game. Notably, all of the cards are reformatted to match the vertical orientation of the tarot cards; this includes the cards of Osiris, Bastet, Sethan and Anubis, which are oriented horizontally in the original manga.
**Of the members of the Ennead, only four of them were adapted into Stands.
*In [[JoJo's Venture]] and its revisions all Tarot and Egypt 9 Glory Gods cards are vertically-oriented including cards of Osiris, Bastet, Sethan and Anubis that are originally horizontally-oriented.
**Daniel J. D'Arby can't be fought in Arcade versions of the game, so card of Osiris can't be seen there but it can be seen in fortune-telling mini-game in [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (PS1 Game)|PS1 version]] instead.
