The Lupine Hunting Grounds are found as an extension of the Temple of Lupus amidst the Northreach Forest. They are open to all, but even the most skilled hunters beware of the fierce beasts of prey that roam the Grounds.

A stronger cousin of the basilisks of the Aalen Forest stands sentinel in the forest. Snakes, a massive brown boar, and lions roam the grasslands. The desert is populated by a giant red scorpion, hyenas, and a hardy jarbo, each the greater kin of the creatures of the Mhojave Desert. The mighty centaurs roam the hills and protect their elder priestess and colts. The playful and rude wild-eyed primate swings from the vines and trees of the jungle, and the weretigress, dubbed "Penelope" by Lupus and His followers, prowls the jungle floor.

In the heart of the Lupine Hunting Grounds, the fell shewolf and her werewolf cubs make their den. In hidden caves there is a maze of webs, populated by the deadly silver spiders. Beyond these webs is the home of the massive varkha, gohlbrorn, and bainligor. Schools of piranha swim in the lake, and large fire eels reside in the river. Sleek black werepanthers and panthers - some with child - and irate mountain goats make their homes in the mountains.

Roaming throughout the entirety of the Lupine Hunting Grounds, the fiercest of beasts hold dominion. Fell werewolves roam wherever they will, appearing in every part of the Grounds. These werewolves are devoted hunters, granted the gift of lycanthropy by Lupus Himself.
