Species

A subspecies of Cana Lupini, specifically the Primus, evolved to survive underground. They're effectively blind above ground as they rely almost soly on echolocation. Unlike the standard lupinus, the Dyn'ai spend a majority of their time in their sapius form, which itself reflects more traits of the feralis such as feather and fur growth. That being said, the Dyn'ai lack a lot of the luxuries coats one might see above ground, rarely having long fur, feathers, etc.

They lack the knowledge of the common tongue that most modern lupini are capable of speaking, mostly conversing in a mix of Sekai, the language of Primus, and an insectlike, gutteral clicking language. They also have far shorter lifespans, generally only living up to 100-150 years of age versus the standard lupi's 180-200.

The Dyn'ai are far thinner, far larger and far stronger than the standard lupinus. While they lack a lot of the same magical inclinations of the standard lupinus, they make up for it in strength and dexterity, making them truly terrifying opponents if fighting them. It's a good thing so many of them are still fully intelligent and aware of themselves, and know better than to attack their cousin species, even if there's a language barrier, amongst other things...
