Lupine

A noble creature with a long history, Lupine have been favored by knights, Guardiners, and other heroic types since antiquity. A remarkably hardy breed of Florabeast, Lupine are able to survive in a wide range of climates and geographic areas, unhindered by cold, drought, and other factors.

Slightly larger than a wolf, Lupine are covered in thick, bristly needles that differ in shape and hardness between varieties. While they may break off easily, new needles will grow back within a few days, faster if they are left to root all day.

Beneath the bark that protects the rest of their bodies, Lupine secrete a viscous pitch, and can command enough of it together to eject a ball of sticky hindrance. The commonly held myth that Lupine can launch their needles at a distance like arrows from a bow is unfounded, though they will leave them behind in any creature unfortunate enough to face one.
