[Macklemore]

I don't think the God of Crocodiles would have as much as luck swaying vampires to his side as the God of Death/Afterlife would. After all, Vampires are undead so they're kinda already under Anubis' control.

[Bergy_Berg]

Being the God of death would probably work against Anubis. The undead, like vampires, are a mockery of his whole domain.

[Peypeypeypey]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I agree with Bergy here. Anubis loses because vampires would naturally oppose basically everything he stands for, as a God of death and the afterlife

[Fox]

Anubis is the guide of the dead who will weigh their hearts on the scales.

Pretty sure Vampires have no interest in being guided to the underworld or having their heart's weighed.  It almost would not matter which deity was in the opposite slot - that would be the Vampire choice. 

God of Crocodiles, you say?  Yes, fantastic, sign us up!

It's also worth pointing out that Sobek isn't just the God of Crocs. He's also associated with pharaonic power, fertility, military prowess, and the Nile River, according to Wikipedia

[Mercenaryblade]

Sobrek would be my pick as others have pointed out, Vamps would have an aversion to what he represents, while Sobrek would have a lot of attractive qualities for ambitious vampires.

[C.T.]

Croc god for life. Or unlife.

Of course, I make impeccable arguments.

[SSJRuss]

I see I don't have to say much to defend my god, Sobek.

I will add that he is also the patron saint of armies, which could be very attractive to the Vampires.

Also being the god of the Nile means he represents the very life that thrives throughout Egypt. If Sobek is responsible for keeping humans alive, then the Vampires are going to have plenty to eat. Therefore, thriving.
