Known Creature Details

Luros

Group: a pack of Luros
Baby: Pup
 
Many Finley have heard tales of Luros, often told as storybook monsters who hunt down children and adults who wander deep into the forest. These stories tell of their vicious nature with them hunting in massive packs, able to swiftly destroy a town over night.
It is due to this bad reputation that they are one of the misunderstood animals to date. While Luros are giant canines who hunt in large family packs, these packs are often splintered to smaller groups to make hunting more successful and feed themselves easier.

Each family has the eldest couple leading the pack as a whole, often with the splinter packs having the eldest being the leader. Each pack is a complex family, full of relatives to a degree or mates of relatives, making them a close tight-nit group whose bonds can be unbreakable.
 
The pack tends to join together mainly when pups are being raised, and while the main parents of the pack are the ones who have pups, others with mates may also have children. This makes raising a bunch of pups all at once a challenge, and it is a group effort to raise the bunch. While most pups won’t make it to their first birthday, those who do are cemented into the bonds of the pack.
 
A Luros’ bond is unbreakable, meaning they mate for life, and when one of the couple dies, they normally do not take on another mate. It is also due to this bond that Luros mourn those who pass, and take care of injuried, sick, and old Luros of the pack. Luros are known to howl, or sing at the lost of a packmate, and often will even extend energy to bury them if possible.
 
Luros are found all over the region in the forests, but are most well known in the northern ranges with the deep snow and larger herd animals.


While some have tried to domesticate the Luros, all known attempts have failed, often in the worse bloody ways if pups are taken from their family.
