Kemonomimi (Nihongo: 獣耳) also known as Jaanavarkaans (Nepali: जनावरकान) are humans with animal-like traits, Human-Animal Hybrid's come in varying shapes, sizes, along with different animal-traits. Oftentimes distinguishable by their ears, tails, or wings if they have said features. Their phenotypes are not limited to real life animals and can encompass even mythical creatures such as griffins and dragons.
Genetic Traits
Ears
Depending on the type of Kemonomimi, some Kemonomimi's have enhanced hearings that are better than the human ear. Being able to hear different wavelengths, though while that comes with it's advantages, it also has some disadvantages. Such as sensitivity to loud noises. This can be dependent from the type of ears and how many hair cells there are in the ear.
Tails
Also varies from type of Kemonomimi, tails can act as both an extra limb and a balance, a pain to brush and maintain them (unless they are scaly) and they can get in the way of things when sitting or wearing clothes though. So they would need specialized clothes to be able to feel comfortable in clothing. Warning is to not touch a Kemonomimi's tail! Their tails are packed with nerves and are very sensitive and so touching them can agitate or aggravate them. You have been warned!
Wings
Some Kemonomimi's have wings that grants them the ability to fly, albiet that unless they train their wings to carry super heavy stuff they do not have limitless flight abilities and can feel tired after flying for too long. Wings are also a big hassle to maintain and also get in the way of clothing so they also need special clothing to feel comfortable.
Nations with native Kemonomimi
Santi Rasta
Santinese Kemonomimi's are known as either Jaanavarkaans , Paksheekaans, or Pashukaans. They differ from Kemonomimi's as they were genetically modified by a Galactic Empire as products to be 'manufactured' and sold to other galactic nations who require Kemonomimi's for labor or servitude. Santinese Kemonomimi were apart of a shipment of fresh and old servants and labors that were being transported to another galactic empire until a miscalculation or a problem with the AI navigation system led most of the shipment or all of it to crash onto Sparkalia. Introducing the planet to the Santinese Kemonomimi sentient lifeforms.
Jaanavarkaans are animal-eared people, they look human but are distinguishable by their animal-like tails and animal-like ears. They differ from the Paksheekaans and the Pashukaans as their phenotypes are based on land animals and those that are not avians or reptiles.
Paksheekaans are people with avian traits, they differ with avian-like wings that give them the ability to fly for a certain amount of time and a certain height depending on how much the wings can withstand and how light they are. Though their wings also differ depending on how large their wingspan is or if it is able to support their body weight.
Pashukaans are humans with reptile traits, they are not cold blooded fortunately due to being human-like. Pashukaans with dragon-like traits also fit into this category due to having horns and either have the ability to fly or not but are limited alike the Paksheekaans in terms of the height of flight, lightness, and duration.
