''Note from EthanKoenigsberg: I won't add this to an article, why? I shouldn't even bother getting comments.''

The Luepuse-Kičeázly (formerly Luepuse-Candalien yet to move to more Slavo-Ruman-Hungarian form of the name) or commonly called the wolf (lupesche in some human languages in AHOW or what humans do say about their physical form werewolf), are descended from the grey wolf (or gray wolf), they separated themselves from them as a subspecies in 300000 BCE. They weigh similar to their descandant and is more heavier but is slightly lesser than humans (uses the one in North America in average) or at least the same. It is estimated to have their weight around 57-80kg.

Their life expectancy would be similar to a human, with the life expectancy being around 145.2 years in early 21st century (in the 7th century, it is likely to be 64.5 years by estimate, 15th century being 74.1 years, 19th century estimates to be 92.3 years and the middle of the 20th century 112 years). A typical wolf lifespan would've been 18 years (most likely natural death or somewhere), this species may have survived longer due to it's ability to allow them to survive in other methods and something that makes them similar to a human, without any hazards or shelter, its expected to be 30 years. This may indicate it is some sort of a hybrid but have more in common with humans than wolves (they do possess less than a half of wolf traits)

It affected the human civilisation when taking over the Northern Hemisphere and confines them in the Amazon and Southern Africa, the distribution is more similar to humans but it's more dense at northern hemisphere and cold biomes because of their natural environment.

They would also walk bipedal and quadrupedal, which they can naturally capable of. It is commonly used to confuse a human, expect their clothing would make it sound familiar to them as the Luepuseans use clothing to warm themselves as their fur has less insulation to survive winters or they prefer to do so.

History
Approximiately 302000 years ago, the werewolf bloodline is split off from the grey wolf species. The archaeological discovery and myths are shrouded with mystery on the humanoid form. It is said to be interbreeding the homo genus and the wolf, turning this into a hybrid that were able to reproduce unlike a mule, meaning most of the homo genus is wiped out for a hybrid one. There is another problem with that, instead of using the typical (species name) x (species name) which scientific hybrid names are used, it has another scientific name. Most of the scientists used  'Canis lupus' for the Luepuseans not the original wolf which makes confusion and some call their species 'Homo lupus' because they look humanoid. To this day, the name is disputed and scientists and maybe even governments deny them part of the homo genus. Another one is a virus that was wiped out 40000 years after establishment of the species. Many now believe in evolution but those kind of theories still exist as conspiracies.

Migrations start somewhere in the sites of Plzen and Gaštice and expand into Europe in just 50,000 years and then Eurasia. The Luepusean current government is dominantly tribal or nomadic, until 7000 BCE, the first sign of cities and establishment of hierocracies or despotic in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Between 4000 BCE to 900 BCE, civilisations rose and fell, with the Classical Era between 400 BCE to 300 CE valued culture across the Luepusean controlled Europe.

In the 18th century, the Luepuseans wipe out the human cults in Amazonia through transmission of the lethal disease to humans for the Luepusean Europeans. Around the late 19th century, all of the world is controlled by Luepuseans and human extermination is enacted in some governments. This reduced the human population of 29 million in Africa and 34.2 million in the rest of the world to just 16.7 million in the world by 1930.

Etymology
In some human languages in AHOW, the word 'lupesche' deprives from a Latin word 'lupus' as a corrupted word. The full name of that species has no meaning, except the word wolf, where it has an origin of word that can be found in a dictionary.

Distribution and Population
Originally the Luepusean bloodline originated from OTL Czech Republic, those wolves then colonised most of the Northern Hemisphere over thousands of years in migration. With technology improving every year, the species itself can virtually colonise in almost all of the world and adapt easily throughout the last 12,000 years which meant that they are no longer confined in European, Siberian and North American climate itself. It's intelligence can even survive and adapt in any location apart from an even colder location such as the Arctic, but they had to adapt into a certain climate, which meant reduced insulation and fur in deserts will happen eventually.

Life cycle
Reproduction is the same as mammals but more aligned to wolves than humans and birth is nearly complicated but not compared to humans and they don't prefer to interbreed on humans and wolves which they are 'compatible species'. The stages are similar to humans, but only with the growth of the wolf being around 8 years to adult size, a slower pace of the life cycle of a wolf but slightly faster than humans. Education is easily picken up in just around 12 years, hinting the maturity is 15 years. There are some alleged claims that the Luepuseans can breed with normal wolves or even humans with little or no danger.

As of 2012, the global average life expectancy would be 145.2 years, having most nations being highly developed. The life expectancy varies with the lowest one (Amazonia) being around 94.5 years, just 50.7 years in a gap. Most of them at 45 to 70 years old are usually still relatively strong unlike humans. Health declines by that age after 60 to 75 years and only one in thousand are over 170 years old as health disintigrates quickly. The recorded oldest Luepusean is only 184 years old, most rulers were usually dying around the ages of 90-120 years without any military service.

Physical/Anatomy
(Why did I even put it here >_>)

The Luepuseans walk bipedal and quadrupedal as said above, but they just look like OTL wolves with gigantism. The average height for males is 192 cm, slightly higher than an human's average height, while the female is 174 cm.

Biologic variation
Two Luepuseans are not genetically identical, even born from the same fetus (wait that term is supposed to be egg) or the so called 'litters' (which isn't used and being common anymore to them, even ancestors of the species). Distribution in other climates, mutation and other events in evolution has changed their physical appearance and such.

Fingerprints of them is possible, with their hands being near identical to humans than wolves. The Luepuseans have also adapted to extreme climates even arid deserts and the Arctic, but they have a natural habitat in colder temperatures, with the ones closer to the equator shaving some of it's thick fur off to thin itself to reduce heat given from the fur.

Diet
Note from EthanKoenigsberg: Although it's supposed to be in behaviour section if it were feeding behaviour, I don't care

The Luepuseans have claimed themselves as carnivores from just preferring flesh from animals, unlike their wolf cousins, they discover themselves as omnivorous (so why is it a human-wolf hybrid) by 1500 BCE and have more similar diet to humans than wolves after records seeing them consuming what herbivores eat (excl. leaves, grass and others that herbivores can only consume but incl. fruits to vegetables)

They would probably able to cook meat to reduce such risk of poisoning and other related stuff. In early hunting, they usually don't take the food to the other pack and usually feed on the flesh and then leave. The ones who hunted gets to eat first in this time.

Culture and Behaviour
The wolves are basically warlike creatures, with some sort of a strcture that includes some sort of a different social structure that differs from any canine packs but has some traits as well as having some faith much similar to OTL religions. It is also technologically advanced in AHOW than humans, however the humans have quickly gained technology over the 21st century until the humans reached industrialisation. As of 2015, the Luepusean population is roughly at least 9.218 billion, compared to 210 million humans which includes immigration to Europe, Australia and North America whom 1/7 of them are radicalised Galopoxian in those Luepusean nations.

Clothing plays nearly a role to alter their appearance, and is to reinforce their insulation, safety and simply try to coat their appearance to significantly not to recognise as a werewolf on the sight and being camoflauged from any animal, as this is common in Afro-Eurasia, Mesoamerica, Oceania and South America.

Language
The Luepuseans have a system that crosses the wolf and human together. The lingua franca in the Luepusean world is Lypusid, a constructed language since the 17th century but English, Ruman, Arabic, Happy-Hungrian, German, Russian, Cathayan (OTL Chinese) and Greek is still the dominant language as of 2015. Most native languages spoken in Luepusean North America and the Andes were wiped out between 18th century to 19th century by assimilation and nearly only 4.5% of it survived and at least 3,000 languages exist before the colonisation of the English. Braille and sign langauge exists though.

Society and government
The structure of the Luepusean society is based off their ancestors and humans being merged together over time. Most of them used to be in packs until they formed various tribes and existing packs were converted into families and dynasties although they have similar structure but more human-like. Those packs were the first of a social structure and usually are hunters and nomads and usually don't relate to their ancestors where there are unrelated wolves join a pack and go along a 'bloodline' and split if too big. Older people usually were treated with respect at that time.

The government system is the same as humans with the Luepuseans have various governments with the dominant in the developed region of the Luepusean distribution being democracy or socialist. The less developed ones are more authoritarian or military. Monarchy is slightly more popular in Europe and some parts of North Africa and Middle East than a republic or any other type, but counter-revolutions are happening more frequently in the 21st century. Unlike any other fantasy versions of werewolves, usually depicted as feral or tribal, it took another side and basically took place as human society and human being nearly savage-like.

The structure of the Luepusean monarchy is the same as OTL, unlike OTL, the Luepusean form of monarchy after the 19th century would still have a monarch have power in most countries that have that system but less. The bloodline that is from a certain founder of the dynasty is part of the dynasty, including cadet branches. If all of them dies, a new dynasty may probably be founded by a person with a distinct bloodline from the old one to avoid confusion or other it would be a cadet branch of the original dynasty, so there is almost nothing different about the Luepusean monarchy itself. Most of the Luepusean societies follow a social pyramid, poor to rich and low to high authority is the common one.

War
The Luepusean form of military is nearly identical to a human. They have some more advanced military technology than us in 2010 that would harm a large area of land (avg. 500km squared), but such weapons were forbidden in 1950 by protocols and other treaties, making those kinds of technology illegal but some nations don't sign such treaty or almost all of it and will allow them to violate international law.

These kinds of weapons can cause huge destruction, especially in overpopulated cities, which can destroy economies for a country if it drops across major cities, as it provides industrial and commercial services. One of those were the WMC and Plkicen's condensing machine, the WMC was developed by a group of scientists partislly and weaponised by HHK Land Forces. The condensing machine was built as a weapon by a Czech for the Pact of Isque.

Religion
As of 2015, religion is falling sharply by 2.6%, even Islam but at a slow rate in other countries other than Persia (Shia) and Arabia (Sunni) and Christian ones fall more than being rising, losing 23,000,000 followers per year from declaring themselves non-religious but has 19,000,000 new adherants. There are other minor religions across Eurasia, such as Makedonskism which only loses 7,000 followers due to strict laws in Kingdom of Macedonia and Norse, a revived ancient pagan religion that were extinct in 15th century, only to be revived again in the late 19th century.

There are some beliefs include the afterlife, creation of the universe and other topics as well, which constructs stories. From the trend of fall of religion, around 39.2% of the world is irreligious and by 2050 it will increase to 48.5% as Christianity fades away from Europe, even in Rome or Constantinople (mod. Istanbul)

Science and Technology
While most of the Luepuseans as of the 21st century are becoming somewhat more aligned to science than faith, they did develop technology faster than OTL Humans and achieved thirty years ahead of the current technology in OTL. Scientists are also led towards the mystery of the universe in the 21st century, finding life in Europa in 2024.

Since the fall of the Roman Empire, technology and knowledge began to cripple from the rest of Europe but Byzantium, which has preserved the knowledge of ancient philosophers. Over time, a century in this timeline means one year ahead from OTL technology.
