Krefon

From Harriott aka Kref in the 55 Cancri system. Caused a conflict in Eastern Europe. True lupines, though relatively small of stature; they are comparable in size to a German shepherd. Shares the planet with the Krefan humanoid race, though with some enmity between them. See Lupinoids. (https://pan-galactic-coalition.com/books/sentient-species/chapter/lupinoids)
