Homebrew Lupin Species Details
Not much is known to outsiders of the mysterious lupin people. Built like humans with the head of a dog, many creatures mistake lupins for gnolls or werewolves from a distance. A short coat of fur covers a lupin from head to toe, while longer silkier hair grows from the top of their heads. A lupins’ body fur tends to be monochromatic, ranging from light grey through all the shades of brown, to black, with occasional variations.
