Luplion
- Habitat
- The Luplion thrives in the savanna and woodland ecosystems, where it can utilize both open spaces for hunting and dense cover for denning. Preferring areas with ample prey and water sources, it often roams in prides, establishing territories that blend the characteristics of open plains and forested areas.
- Diet
- As an apex predator, the Luplion is carnivorous, primarily preying on large herbivores such as antelope and deer. It is an opportunistic hunter, using pack tactics inherited from wolves to take down larger prey, while also scavenging when necessary.

The creature's powerful limbs end in broad paws equipped with retractable claws, and its piercing amber eyes reflect intelligence and cunning.
