Dungeons and Dragons Lore: Lupin

[@chrislaurette6778]

As a certified dog trainer, canine behaviour therapist and representative of the IPDTA (International Positive Dog Training Association) it warms my heart to hear you explain the fallacy of classical alpha theory in canine pack hierarchy. The alpha male and female in a pack are the pair with breeding rights. Full stop. It does not mean that they actively dominate the rest of the pack. I love that the Lupin social system is an egalitarian democracy. Thanks for the great content.

[@jeffreylucier5266]

Chris Laurette do the "alpha" get first dibs when eating? Im not very knowledgeable on this, but curious!

[@chrislaurette6778]

I wouldn't generalise to all types of wild canines or all packs in all circumstances but my understanding is that typically North American wolves and African painted wolves hunt together and feed together without a pecking order and all adult pack members also share duties regurgitating meat for pups. Coyotes also bring food back to the pack for sharing. The idea of competition for resources within a pack and other dominance behaviour fallacies come from studies done in the 40s on captive wild wolves. Which is like studying the social dynamics in a prison and then assuming that all human social groups operate the same way. Some of the experts that helped disseminate these ideas changed their minds later in life. This kind of hierarchical dominance behaviour is seen in other social animals like lions and baboons but not so much as i understand it in canine family groups.

[@jeffreylucier5266]

Thanks for the reply Chris! You've explained in a few sentences, and one really good analogy, exactly what i was curious about! I enjoy learning new things! Peace brother!

[@chrislaurette6778]

My pleasure, Jeffery.

The Tabaxi and lupines could possibly be the inspiration for The Khajiit and Lomathiit from Elder Scrolls, although the dog people from Elder Scrolls the Lomathiit are pretty much extinct

👑 *"CROWNED COMMENT"* 👑

[@JamesAdams-nd1td]

Glad to see that someone other than Mr. Welch remembers Mystara and hasn't given up on everything besides the Forgotten Realms.

[@adammcclelland5746]

5E needs to bring these guys back. With new art, updated lore, the whole she bang!

[@Klancer2]

Imagine the sudden terror of the mother when a small lupin child runs straight up to my rough looking human ranger. She goes into a run as the man bends down and grasps the child. "Aww, aren't you just adorable!" He lifts the little laughing child and blows raspberries in the laughing child's belly, then puts him down. "You're gonna be a good adult someday. Be good for your momma, okay?" "Okay!" "Good child!" He reached into a pouch, and offers the child a piece of jerky and a dagger. The dagger is small for the human, but a reasonably large weapon for the small child. Just a fun interaction that can happen. Your players can pretty much all agree that a lupin pup is a welcome sight.

[@nullvoid4063]

Ah yes, always a fun race to play, I want to play a druid lupin and have to constantly argue over semantics with the terrified townsfolk; "No! for the last time, it's 'lupin therianthrope' not 'lycanthrope'!".... "What do you mean 'whats the difference?' I just finished explaining this!" ... "Ok, fine! look, first..."

[@aliceofspades]

It's refreshing to find a non-evil wolflike race! D&D needs to bring these back! :)

[@akimbofurry2179]

Um hound archon, do i even exist to you pepole

[@patrickholt2270]

I love anything Known World related. Rakastas are much more appealing to me than Tabaxi. Lupins are one of those things that is particularly useful for DMs, which is a built-in arch-enemy for your villains, and a source of unexpected assistance for parties in the given environment when in desperate straits. Every now and then you need a good guy monster race to reduce the odds a bit. Integrating them as player characters in a very different environment should be difficult, though, especially when they are so tightly-knit - apart from overheating in hotter climes, they should be prone to fairly severe homesickness, where home is the tribe and their familiar range of steppe or taiga. And humans in places far from their homeland should tend to be very suspicious and liable to hostility, as well as in forest areas alongside farmland where there might well be conflict with Lupins over deforestation, masked as attacking them as Werewolves. This was something I think the Savage Baronies and Red Steel boxsets portrayed very well, where just because races have compatible alignment tendencies, that doesn't mean there isn't tribal feuding over land, and between the nomadic peoples and the colonizing farmers.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

I like the idea of making Lupin tribes that live closer to human societies look more like dogs than wolves and making the tribes that live the furthest away slightly more dire wolf looking with shaggier fur and more pronounced fangs.

[@KodyaxDerschrecken]

This race needs to be made official for D&D 5E

[@surprisedgordon7786]

They are the good boys and girls of D&D they also deserve all affection

[@bensantos9219]

DnD version of the Dogman, they're not werewolves but a canine man like walking wolf.

[@MyJC19]

As someone that absolutely adores wolves, this is right up my alley.

[@bigd7861]

Two good character plots: A tabaksi that is constantly mistaken as a rakshasa, and a lupin that is constantly mistaken and hunted as a werewolf, even though they are actually the one that is trying to hunt down the evil creatures.

[@demetrinight5924]

I had this pop up in my suggested videos after Josiah at Dungeon Dad made a video on Lupins. I am disappointed that Lupins have not yet become an official player race. Although with your suggestions here and Josiah's video the are easy to homebrew with the Monsters of the Multiverse player character options.

[@bigd7861]

While sitting around the campfire, randomly throwing a stick into the woods to keep the lupin entertained. Though, actually, after the 2nd or 3rd throw, he just keeps slowly walking out to pick it up, slowly bring it back, dropping it from his paw and grumbling, "I hate you..." And, then, does it again the next time you throw it, because he...just...can't...help...it... Then, after he finally starts growling, you rub his belly and condicendedly ask, "Who's a good boy?! Who's a GOOD boy?!" 🤣

[@TobikunOuO]

than he punches your lights out.

[@marcosreed9894]

This video has really inspired the development of my current campaign prep. Now I know one of the tribes of creatures who dwell on our homebrew "Azure plains". Thank you from Seattle Washington, U.S.A.

[@thomasrush2095]

The first lupin born was 'Lupin the 3rd.'

[@wraithreaper22]

So I've fleshed out fairies in my home game. Completely wrote my own lore for pixies and Sprites and quicklings. And basically a lot of other races with limited information. I've made Grung HATE the fairies but it would be cool if you did more videos on all the different frog like races. I only saw the bullwug in your playlist and I have those on another continent in my game lol

[@juzztdw]

I think everyone really NEEDS a video on the Tressym! Love your content keep up the good work!

[@MRDicristofaro]

i really wish that lupins were a thing in 3.5 ( not sure if they are never came across them) they seem like a much more practical character choose for someone wanting to be a lycanthrope

[@mis.astrid2635]

I renember playing a simular game to dnd called Dod, "drakar och demoner" a Swedish version of dnd. In that game, one of the standar playable races where the Wolfmen. they were simular but where tribal in nature. I loved playing him, but sadly he died when one leg and one arm was cut off by a horde of skeletons.

[@probablythedm1669]

Astrid Nipflake I got introduced to roleplaying through DoD! So many important limbs lost from characters. Or just death from bloodloss... actually mostly death from bloodloss. Realistic, but escaping the enemies only to bleed out in an alley was not an unusual way for characters to end.... though there was that time my friend's monk got hugged/drained to death by a buring vampire. :P

[@gabriellavedier9650]

Oh man, this is awesome! My first PC was a Lupin. A cleric who had an ill-fated romance with an NPC rogue the party had hired on. Good times.

[@wagz781]

Interesting. These are pretty similar to the "non-demonic" playable gnolls I made for 5e not that long ago. Might actually go about updating lupins for use in my 5e campains now. As for the furry comments, to each their own lads. Yes there are a lot of cringey members in the fandom but some of us are relatively normal, we just enjoy being a bit more than human.

[@johncole9148]

Great job AJ. Love your show and I've never heard of Lupin before and we will be adding them to our game... keep up the good work

[@jesusofsuburbia8825]

Honestly thank you for all your videos on the lore and other monsters in dnd it’s really helping me with sending more and more dangerous monsters at my friends. Just yesterday I threw 5 ghouls at them.

[@AJPickett]

Most welcome :)

[@Daleksaresupreme1]

I have a fan theory about the lupins origins in Mystara. In Mystara lore there's an obscure nation called Graakhalia which is a mixed society of elves and good gnolls, they get along fine but the elders of the society forbid interbreeding for unknown reasons (but implying that it's possible) maybe the Lupin are the result of this interbreeding in the past, can't think of a reason for the ban though.

[@nathanielchance9751]

Well there's a character race I've never heard of

[@MithradatesMegas]

2:13 and apparently they use cheerios for armor

[@zaqzilla1]

[@mediaaddict3997]

Have to add this to my list of character I want to make.

[@killerfoxraspberryplays8903]

My first DND character was a lupin rouge thief He had high charisma and word flirt with people to steal from them

[@killerfoxraspberryplays8903]

He didn't go through a normal lupin life due to him being taken from his home as a pup

[@killerfoxraspberryplays8903]

Because his occupation he doesn't get along well with other lupins

[@saeyabor]

Flirty, thief, Lupin... you sure he was your first character and not the THIRD?

[@jakecrichton562]

That's a new one for me too. I would have loved to play one of these back in the day. My early rp experience was mostly werewolf the dark ages.

[@jeffreylucier5266]

Really cool race! I love that they're mounted!

[@hsatin20]

I wish I had a Lupin friend

[@SomeOne-ex7hk]

It would actually be rather easy to spot a Lupin compared to a lycanthrope. If you see a wolfman wearing some sort of clothing or armor that actually fits them....its a Lupin. That outfit was put on, that body type. Meaning 1. They werent in some crazed lycan bloodlust, they had time to get dressed. 2. The armor/clothing was designed for that size/shape, a lycan wouldnt have that, as their body changes due to the transformation. Granted the civilized races of DnD would be lower education/intelligence than an onlooker using critical thinking in our world, but I imagine it wouldnt be hard for a ranger/adventurer to notice.

[@26th_Primarch]

Especially when it walks up to you and says hello where can I find the inn...

[@coldrage20t8]

Hates werewolf but the werewolf form world of darkness at 12:29 fits right in lol cool race I think I might give one a shot

[@friluftsvikingen4470]

I might start playing DnD after this 🤔

[@93lozfan]

i played a game with a friend who is otherkin (actually came out to me during session 0, most other people knew) and we adapted a tabaxi into a lupin without even knowing lupins existed in the lore. everything worked out well although they didn't get heightened hearing or lychanthrope sense.

[@Greenscyth22]

Werewolves, Wolfweres, Jackleweres, Shifters with canine heritage and even Hound Archons. Why not throw another dog-man into the mix : )

[@AJPickett]

Humans, elves, half-elves, half-orcs, dwarves, halflings, gnomes... HOW MANY FURLESS HUMANOIDS DO WE NEED?! (j/k j/k)

[@Greenscyth22]

In all seriousness did I miss any? Maybe Barghests....as they are goblin werewolves basically.

[@flibbernodgets7018]

I can understand other races reactions to lupins vs tabaxi. I initially reacted the same way, just replace the word "werewolf" with "furry"

[@AJPickett]

Actually, I have a lot of fond memories of playing Vargr in the Traveller RPG, and the Wolfen in the Palladium Fantasy RPG.

[@flibbernodgets7018]

They sound cool from your description, but if I saw them in a rulebook I would have passed over them

[@AJPickett]

It's all in the roleplaying. A playable race that exists in a lore vacuum is just not very appealing.

[@filimonpoptudor799]

Man I hope we get lupin for 5th education

[@derrickhaggard]

It would be awesome to see the Lupin race regain their playable status.

[@johnwilliamson4748]

A wolf(lupin) riding a wolf hunting a wolf(werewolf).

[@TarsonTalon]

"Yo dawg, I heard you liek wolves..."

[@johnwilliamson4748]

So i put a wolf on your wolf so they could hunt wolves.

[@saeyabor]

Sounds like a Space Marine chapter.

[@derrickhaggard]

I've said it before I'll say it again. WoTC we fans are still upset about this race losing their playable status after 3E ended, so bring this race of noble wolf/human hybrids back to playable status.

[@bravojr]

So this is the furries who attack werewolves for being too dark and edgy?

[@brianmead7556]

The furries...

[@That80sGuy1972]

I remember a version of basic Dungeons & Dragons having Rakasha available, they weren't really Rakasha, they were their version of PC Tabaxi. It was a 1st level campaign and I saw their claw-claw-bite as a very effective weapon. If both claws hit, the bite hits automatically. Basically, while unarmed, I was more effective than the guy using the two-handed sword. I never played a version with a Lupin, I would have loved to. They seem awesome. The closest I had to them was PC denizens of Manimal Island. Once my players discovered that island, they were able to play any number of humanoid animal, including wolf, lynx, crocodile, eagle, bear, lion, coyote, viper, turtle, bat, rat, goat and baboon. It was basically a feature in my AD&D game inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles role-playing game. The Manimals were pretty much normal people who looked like bipedal animals with some animal adjustments. Their culture was a confederacy of fiefs, the different breeds did not live separately. They were vulnerable against lycanthrope killing weapons and wolfsbane so I would imagine a Lupin would mistake the furry ones for lycanthropes... at least at first. Oh, and if a Manimal contracts lycanthropy of any sort, they become completely human during the full moon... human features reminding others of what Manimal form is his true form (bald for turtle, bald with larger incisors for viper, hooked nose for eagle, thick hair with mutton chops and large hands for lion, big ears and pug nose for bat, etc.)

[@AJPickett]

I could not even estimate how many thousands of hours my friends an I played TMNT RPG when we were teenagers.

[@That80sGuy1972]

So, if you played in my AD&D campaign, you would have loved Manimal Island and the unlocked PC options then too? Cool. I added it to add the TMNT element to my AD&D campaign. No "custom mutant", just pick a Manimal.

[@TraciPeteyforlife]

It would be rather interesting to see a campaign in which humans. Face fearful reactions to them, thanks to vampires. It would be really neat to see a Lupin/Drizzt book.

[@Dyld1993]

Very awsome video, but i'd love to have heard more about the Renardy/Renardie Lupins and their Kingdom of Renardy. It would be awsome to have a bit more of a background on that, since they do originate from that material and since they are very different societal wise, between how lupins are portrayed in 3e and onwards. Cheers for the video though, really enjoyed it, with alot of useful ideas and info. :)

[@Dyld1993]

Subscribed aswell, look forward to new great videoes :).

[@AJPickett]

Thanks Nicolai :)

[@matthewschuchardt684]

Probably my favorite race. But I'd like to point out that you were wrong about the alpha pack structure and wolves, while it is true that they do not have the strict pack hierarchy that we commonly associate with that there is still a clearly defined alpha pair. And only they are allowed to produce the next generation. But in regards to how this translates over to the lupines society I think it's pretty good.

[@derrickhaggard]

This is my most favorite race period when I first started playing D&D during 3E when I asked what are the playable races and when someone mentioned this race I was immediately hooked and pick this race due to the wolf being my most favorite species of wild dog. And yes like many fans I'm still upset that they lost status as a playable race after 3E and would love it if WotC would give them back their playable race status.

[@johnunterzuber329]

did i miss you say whether or not they're susceptible to Lycanthropy

[@TenositSergeich]

John Unterzuber As far as I remember, lupins were never mentioned to be more or less suspectible to lycantropy, but in their 3rd edition potrayal from the Dragon magazine, they were said to hate and hunt werewolves, so it would be unlikely. I do not remember much info on lupins and lycanthropy from Mystara, however. Sorry!

[@AJPickett]

They are not immune to Lycanthropy.

[@patrickholt2270]

My theory about Lupin origins is that they have evolved from a Hutaakan elite military unit trained by the Nithian Empire to fight the Great Gnoll Horde which destroyed old Traldar, who were blown off course while travelling from Nithia to Traladara, and who lost their memories due to the Immortals' curse against Nithia. They came ashore somewhere well to the west of their intended destination, certainly west of the future Five Shires, and have developed as a completely seperate culture and race in isolation, before beginning to colonise back eastward to appear in the lands of Darokin, the Grand Duchy of Karameikos, as well as the kingdom of Renardy, whose present day culture is quite unlike that of Lupins found elsewhere. In most cases, they will be completely unaware of the existence of the jackal-headed Hutaakan race, as well of any such history or ancestry.

[@AngelusAnsell]

I often wonder about creatures who value honesty...if my character is a scoundrel who has no compunctions with lying, cheating, and stealing for the purpose of self-advancement, would it help if he also makes little effort to deceive people about what his general intentions are?

I would pull a Monty Glue here and Do something fun. Kenku in her games can be any kind of bird (Eagle, Robins, Chickens and Grackles) Tabaxi any can be any breed of cat from lion to domestic (she has a freaking Bunnie Rabbot persona Sphinx cat you know that hairless breed not the Chimeric mix of Bird, Lion and human as a bar keep) Tritons can be any fish (Angler fish are scary, but only because unlike other Tritons they have males that are like blob fish mixed with angler and semi sentient, most others have normal dimorphisims like a Clownfish can have a Mohawk fin on a male and the lady have more human hair style fin forms) so a Lupin in my world could be a Pug, Boston Terrier doxie or Chihuahua. Player race have fun right, though all Humanoid animal like races get the one stat I wish all dogs birds and such have Human or longer life spans. Kenku are not limited to 60.

[@williamturner6192]

I actually think I'd prefer a Tibbit Werebear now that I think about it.

[@bravojr]

I would think that proper lupins, would merely see werewolves as misguided or improper abominations. Not tolerant of their presence to a large degree, but also not literally training their lives away to get rid of a minor curse/problem in comparison to other things... Unless, werewolfism would be "deadly" to a lupin because of some twist of fate that even the saliva would murder one off.

[@Izzo-io2ou]

I once used them as a enslaved race by minotaurs. They used the Lupin as humans would use war dogs. Part of that campaign was to free them from their bonage (not an easy task, for slaves rarely desire to be free, for those who hold their freedom sacrosanct, would fight to the death to keep it. Our present society as case in point of those who didn't cherish it enough.)

[@AJPickett]

I was just thinking about that this morning "able to work unsupervised" was something they say about kids in school.. so why are you not teaching them to work for themselves as the default? Why do we build class systems of exploitation into every aspect of democracy? It's such bullshit. Strive for independence and freedom, support who you can, make every day count. That is all.

@@AncientRylanor69 They would take a lethal dose of Wolfsbane or some such in order to either die or be cured of the curse.

[@Ed_man_talking9]

what do the Lupins think of the werebears? do they regard them as an obstacle to kill and gain access to it's fertile hunting grounds? or do they agree that it's best to leave them alone unless some dire circumstances are met?

[@AJPickett]

all lycanthropes.

[@zacharygadzinski3147]

I think werebears take precautions to avoid Lupins. Yet a war between Lupins and Werebears would be interesting with the werebears trying to live in peace, but have to turn towards human settlements to bolster their numbers by taking in volunteers to undergo the ordeal of becoming a werebear. Yet a city full of werebears with rules and regulations that promote the balance of nature while embracing innovation could result in the discovery of new druidic studies, magic, and technology. Yet seeing solar powered and lunar powered weaponry and appliances would be unique. Just imagine necklaces that take in the moonlight and allow the werebear or any other lycanthrope to transform during broad daylight. Not to mention the disputes that would arise when the Lupins try to decimate a thriving city of werebears. Anyone else thinking a bloodbath involving multiple races thrown in?

[@zacharygadzinski3147]

Perhaps there's an undiscovered plane where the lupin, ondonti(peaceful relatives of the orcs), and some of the other lost races alongside new races reside. Besides, how often do gods and goddesses create new planes to protect their worshippers or just because they want more worshippers. Yet I'm sure good aligned lycanthropes try to avoid Lupins at all costs.

[@AJPickett]

Like an opposite world, where the Humans and Elves seasonally raid the peaceful monstrous races.

[@zacharygadzinski3147]

@@AJPickett In a way yes, but originating as a demiplane from the Forgotten Realms that eventually became its own material plane that can still connect to Fearun, except the portal is guarded by the goddess of the Ondonti. Ironically said goddess has worshippers residing on the prime material plane. Yet a new subrace of Chaotic Nuetral elves could pose a problem for the lawful good Ondonti who are the majority of this material plane. Yet humans would raid any race regardless of what material plsne they reside on due to their capability of being any alignment and that they can breed with almost any race. If they add more to the Creator deity of humanity they could tie it into the Forgotten God and set up some sort of redemption prophecy where the Forgotten God fuses with a powerful human in order to reestablish himself. Yet wouldn't be surprised if the creator deity commanded humanity to be fruitful and multiply. That command could be the reason why humans are willing to populate vast areas and breed with any sentient race.

When his training was finished his first kill was a werewolf disguised as a plague doctor and after killing him he took his mask as a trophy/disguise

All the cool ideas for a pc, but what comes to mind for me is Moon Moon the Lupin, with hope of as many fails as possible. I was wondering if they would work with Fey, as I get the feeling that many fey dislike Lycanthropes. Plus from what I understand a lot of lycanthropes live in the Feywild. Or their view on good lycanthropes like werebears and wereravens.
