Story[]
The divine beast watching over the canines. When Galdera declared the war to the 12 gods, Lykaon allied itself with the gods, sacrificing part of its power to seal the Eye of Calamity and allowing the gods to triumph over the thirtheen god. After the battle, the divine beast went into a slumber in the Sacred Tree of the Sacred Springs, and its embers were entrusted to its dog retainers.
Emberflame Story[]
After awakening Stollenwurm, Ditraina suggests awakening Lykaon, much to Aviete's discomfort. When the embers are gathered and Lycaon is finally awakened, it decides to skip the script, telling them it will only entrust its power to the Chosen One if they can defeat it in combat.
Upon its defeat, the divine beast is satisfied and grants them its arcanastone.
