Lupicat

Lupicats exhibit a fascinating duality in their behavior, often described as 'solitary pack hunters.' While generally preferring to hunt alone with the stealth and agility of a large feline, they possess an inherent social understanding, occasionally forming temporary, fluid hunting groups during periods of scarce prey or for larger game. They are fiercely territorial, marking their boundaries with both scent and visual displays, yet can display surprisingly playful curiosity when not threatened. Their communication involves a mix of low growls and chuffs reminiscent of big cats, combined with complex tail movements and ear flicking.

Primarily crepuscular, the Lupicat is most active during dawn and dusk, using the low light to its advantage for hunting. They make their lairs in secluded dens among rocky outcrops, hollow logs, or abandoned burrows, which they line with soft moss and leaves. Unlike many canids, they are excellent climbers, often surveying their territory from tree branches before descending to stalk prey. They are incredibly adaptable, capable of thriving in varied terrains as long as cover is abundant, ranging from dense forests to brushy hillsides.
