Lupino

Lupino are a race of humanoid wolf people. The Lupino culture is very simple, consisting of Druids (priests), Warriors, Hunters, Foragers (who gather vegetables and herbs), Guardians (who look after the village pups), Builders, and Chefs (who mostly just cut/clean any meat brought by the Hunters and make steamed vegetables or vegetable stews to go with the raw meats).

Lupino are sometimes mistaken for werewolves by ignorant villagers, with their large, muscularly hulking forms. They range in height from six to nine feet tall when fully grown, and are covered in gorgeously soft pelts of fur from head to foot. Their fur colors include black, midnight blue, gray, white, brown, rust and sandy fur tones. They have large, sharp claws and razor sharp carnivores teeth. The average lifespan of a Lupino is unknown, though exceeds 9000 years, longer than any other known races general lifespan.

The Lupino are not actually native to Erve; they originally came through from what they called a “Chalcedony Gateway,” a dimensional portal created by their Druids to escape an apocalypse in their home world where their ranks were thinning as the world was coming to an end.

Lupino are one of the few cultures, aside from Nylian and lower Hundr Buman, where incest is acceptable under certain circumstances (IE. no immediate family, though lesser relations like ones cousins/aunts/uncles/grandparents/etc. are fine). This is thought to be due to the excessively long lifespan of the Lupino.

The Warriors of Lupino Tribes usually give themselves a piercing in the nose to distinguish them as the Warrior class. There's also Hunters, Foragers, Druids, Builders, Chefs and Guardians. Hunters wear necklaces of bones from their kills, Foragers wear green clothing, Chefs have a communal cooking area in the Lupino villages and usually are distinguished by their tied back manes. Druids wear dark robes, Builders have a toolbelt, and Guardians are usually surrounded by Lupino pups all the time, so don't really need a distinguishing mark.
