A Lonchani, is a 7 foot tall humanoid with a wolf’s head, legs, and tail. Its body is covered with pitch-black fur and it has shining, bright yellow eyes. Even though it has a potent bite and sharp, long claws, it is known to use one-handed weapons. Some say lonchani are the reason for the werewolves’ wolfman rumors, rather than the werewolves’ own hybrid form. Lonchani are very intelligent, and are able to communicate with wolves and speak Common plus 4 other languages.
Lonchani are social beings and will move in packs. A full pack (8 lonchani) will be accompanied by 1d4 wolves; for each lonchani below 8 in the pack another 1d4 wolves will be present. A lonchani pack enjoys hunting physical and intellectually-challenging preys and will use different traps and tricks such as tracking (85%), setting traps (80%), moving silently (75%), and hiding (90%) to do it.
