The Wolf-people were one of the first animen created by the Turhys. When the Sithnarn Vampires attacked the Turhys in 290 BI, the local animals attacked the Vampires and destroyed many of them. In thankfulness, the Turhys modified the animals genetic structures and granted them sentience. The wolves were the first of the animals to be changed.

As the Turhys wandered the continents, the Lobos travelled with them. They were the most loyal of the animen and frequently became the official protectors of the Turhys.

As they travelled, a few of the Lobos would stay behind and create small colonies in those lands.

Those colonies would grow and sometimes come into conflict with the native peoples and on occasion the animen.

As the Imrhys worked at eliminating the racism, the Lobos were eager participants in the acceptance agenda. They quickly adopted the idea that all sentient races are a member of one big pack.

Physical Description

They look like a bipedal wolf. Lobos are covered with fur that ranges in color from white to red to brown to gray to black. Frequently the fur has darker and lighter patterns in it. The lobos range in height from 5½ to 8 feet tall. They do have tails. They have short life spans, achieving adulthood by age 10. Their maximum age is 60 years old.

Relations

Lobos start out being very aloof towards people that they do not know, even there own kind, but they are very loyal once a friendship is established.

Language

The lobos speak the Common tongue as well as Lobospeak. Lobospeak is very difficult for those without manipulative ears to speak.

Male Names

Lobos tend to names with ‘r’s in them. They take a great deal of amusement of taking the names of other races and adding a growl to them: Rrroger, Kurrrt, Trrrevorrr, Borrris. They do also have some cultural names that are passed down, such as Growlf, Canus, Ozorr.

Female Names

Lobos tend to names with ‘r’s in them. They take a great deal of amusement of taking the names of other races and adding a growl to them: Grrretyl, Aprrril, Mirrrranda. They do also have some cultural names that are passed down, such as Urrrda, Talina, Bolna.

Pack Names

Rather than thinking of themselves as a family, lobos think of themselves as a pack. Their pack names usually describe the area that the pack ranges in. A full name of a male lobos could be Rrregi of the Longbeach (for a rural lobos) or Garrry of the Halberd Niurb Tree (for an urban lobos).
