The Âni-Zandân is a vessel fashioned from a nautilus-like organism that soars through the skies of the world known as Uth Alok. This nautilus-like creature is an androgynous species called the Âni, one of the few beings that can be readily bio-engineered. The initial experimenters were a team of scientists working under Bruh Kreniik. The scientists were Anubis and three others destined to become Higher Powers: Hades, Ptah, and Set. They created living compartments within these organisms and, through psychic surgery, made the host receptive to those residing inside.

Near the end of the God Era, the Lith-Crillion, home to Uth Alok, employed the Âni-Zandân in traversing the Void. After resupplying with the Crillion Comet, the Âni-Zandân carried on. In 1 LE, they arrived and settled on the world of Bal-Kriav, establishing research outposts on the Isle of Arcana.

The Âni-Zandân has given birth to others of its kind that dwell in the depths of the oceans rather than sailing through the skies. Two of the Âni-Zandân's ocean-dwelling offspring are the Âni-Matîrûn and Âni-Nâthil. The land-dwelling offspring reside within the stones of the Pyramids of Power.
