[u]Lupus[/u]
Large, docile wolves that are very loyal to those they imprint on. 
They stand at about the height of a man (1, 4 meters) with long shaggy coats, they make good war dogs however they are not known for being particularly vicious without motive. Their coats come in numerous shades of brown with occasional bay, black and grey colours.
They are expressive creatures and don't shy away from making their needs known and have high pain thresholds. Known for the ability to be ridden. The saddles adapted to Lupus (Lupai) are made to be centered around the use of legs for control, leaving the riders arms free to cling to the coat or fight.
