These jackal-headed rare Lupins adapted long ago to the rugged mountains of northern Garund. The hutaakans were allies of Ancient Osirion, and taught the pharaohs the secrets of embalming and mummification. Hutaakans were welcome in the courts of the ancient kings and frequently served as priests and court magicians. Since the fall of Ancient Osirion, the hutaakans have dwindled as well, with only a few clans now inhabiting ruined cities in the mountains. Yet they have kept the knowledge of old, and may be indispensable to those seeking the secrets of the pharaohs.

Hutaakans congregate in small clans of only a couple hundred at most, hunkering in the ruins of their ancestors, which they keep free of monsters and brigands (with limited success). They primarily worship Anubis and a jackal-headed aspect of Pharasma, as well as Isis, Osiris, and Nethys in lesser roles; a few degenerates have devoted themselves to Lamashtu or Set. Spellcasters of all kinds are valued in hutaakan society - priestly clerics, astrologer-oracles, bardic lorekeepers, wizardly mystics, and so on. The hutaakans are an insular people who do not welcome outsiders, and getting them to open up is no easy task.
