Homebrew Canide Lupus (Wolf People) Species Details

The humanoid wolf people called canide lupus are found throughout the forests, plains, hills, and mountains. They can communicate over long distances using howls carried by the wind, similar to their four-legged cousins. If provoked to action, canide lupus' are terrors—baring their teeth with rage, massing on their enemy in a flurry of fur, teeth, and claws. Their natural dexterity and wisdom, fierce pack loyalty, and defense of their dens and young are tremendous assets to their packs.
