Beast people

Beast people (獣人, kemonobito) are a race exclusive to Gaea. They are humans with animalistic appearances and often other animalistic traits, such as Merle, who is a cat girl who sometimes acts like a cat.

Beast people are considered lower in society than humans and are often mistreated by them. Naria and Eriya's parents were killed by human poachers, who then sought to capture Naria and Eriya due to their gold and silver pelts. Jajuka was beaten and insulted by officials in Zaibach when he attempted to stop them from taking his charge away.

It is unknown if beast people have similar lifespans to humans or if they live longer, like Draconians.
