Lamashtu is the mother of beasts and goddess of non-humanoid creatures in the Golarion pantheon. She is known for creating deformed beasts and is associated with monstrous and hybrid creatures.
## Domains and Associations
- **Mother of Beasts**: Creator and patron of non-humanoid creatures
- **Deformed Beasts**: Associated with creating twisted and monstrous creatures
- **Sacrificial Practices**: Her temples often feature sacrificial areas
- **Beast Gods**: Considered a beast god herself
## Temple Discovery
**Session 073 (2024-08-04)**: The party discovered an ancient temple dedicated to Lamashtu within the werewolf lair. The temple appeared to be a sacrificial area from a long time ago, suggesting that the werewolf pack or their predecessors had been conducting rituals in her name. The temple's presence in the lair may explain the presence of various monstrous creatures, including the [[owlbear]], [[Alpha]], and other beasts encountered by the party.
The temple's location within the werewolf lair suggests a connection between Lamashtu's influence and the lycanthropic nature of the pack, possibly explaining the Alpha's ability to transform and create other werewolves.
