Lupin, also known as Werewolves, are wolf-like humanoids who inhabit the town of Quelb, and are known for their famous leader, Kelger, one of the dawn warriors. Their bestial nature is where their strengths lie, making them formidable, if a little cowardly, warriors and knights.
Note: While not an explicit racial feature, Lupin should be considered as lycanthropes and thus, if using base pathfinder lycanthropy, Lupin are immune to being infected with such.
