Quests
- Nothin' But a Hound Dog: Lupa is among the choices of canines to retrieve a brain from for Rex. To get her brain, the player has to talk to Antony to arrange a fight with her in the arena, or the player could just kill her outright and make every legionary hostile.
Effects of the player's actions
- After her death in the arena, Legion troops all around The Fort mention her "dying well" in combat.

Notes
- Unlike other Legion mongrels, Lupa has a slight Damage Threshold of 4.
- When sitting next to Antony in the fort, she has a normal mongrel HP of 40, but when fighting her in the arena, she has a full 200.
- Like other mongrels, if you are wearing a Legion disguise, she can (and will) sniff you out and alert the camp.
- You actually gain Legion fame for killing Lupa, if you do so by fighting her in the arena. This is because you gave her an honorable death (and, arguably, a measure of immortality by incorporating her memories into Rex).
Appearances
Lupa only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
- Lupa literally translates as "female wolf" in Latin.
- Lupa is the name of the wolf who raised Romulus and Remus in Roman mythology.
