4.1 Survival

In the past, this species might have ranged south into the United States, but after the arrival of Europeans, these wolves were heavily persecuted and became extirpated from the United States.² These canines had been severely reduced in range and numbers as of 1988; when the humans died off, they reclaimed much of their original territory, competing fiercely with other subspecies. Though this population is smaller than many other wolf populations, they are thriving and rather strong.

Most of these wolves are Luperci; humanized lifestyles have even begun cropping up in the extreme eastern ends of their range, spreading slowly westward. Feral populations are still quite common, and they are at a stage just behind 'Souls in terms of humanization.
