Lupo
The Lupo are an Ancient race in the world of Arknights.
Description[edit]
Lupos have pricked ears and bushy tails, and are one of the three races separated from the Perros due to cultural and biological differences along with the Vulpos and Reprobas. On the outside, they appear almost identical to a Perro, but they are also the easiest to be recognized through their unique culture, as well as having a generally coarse and hard hair in comparison.[3][4]
Similar to the Perros, Lupos have a large family culture albeit being its opposite. Rather than treating their family members and friends kindly, a Lupo family treats them as disposable subordinates; antagonism between Lupo families is rather strong. They strongly value family identification such as dying of their tails, earpieces, and family symbols.[3] Wherever one is banished from the family, they will be referred to as a lone wolf, a derogatory term for a Lupine outcast.[5] According to their legend and anthropological research, their strong yet crooked sense of family and their exclusivism are the consequences of the direct influence of the lupine Beast Lords, the "Signori dei Lupi," who chose their "Fangs" as their proxies in their never-ending battle royale, and the Signori's beastkins, the "wolves," had been constantly attacking ancient Lupos, forcing them to organize into strict family order.[3] Consequently, this has given rise to their mafia culture.
Because of their strict family order, a Lupo has learned to suppress their ancestral behaviors from the Perros. Rather than using their tails and ears to indicate their emotions, a Lupo soldato in a mafia learns to use hand signals to express themselves, and they learn to control their ears and tails . Even though non-famiglia Lupos do not resist the use of their tails and ears, many Lupo prefer not to do so, believing that it will further exhaust themselves.[3]
Lupos can be found in many Terra nations. Siracusa holds the predominant population of Lupo as their homeland, and eastern Leithanien has the second largest population due to shared history with Siracusa before its independence in Terran year 979. Victoria and Ursus also hold a certain number of Lupos.[3]

- In real world, Italy is one of the only regions in Europe where wolves were not completely driven to extinction. This is a reference to the fact that most Lupos are from Siracusa — Terra's analogue to Italy.
