D&D Beastial

Beastial

A typical female Beastial

The Beastial were humans corrupted by Abolition's power. Once they were Tieflings, but they pushed away their demonic heritage. They came upon the Seikatsu Tree, or "Tree of Life", and pleaded for its help. It removed their demonic heritage from them, but it could not remove it without replacing it with something else. It gave unto them a more animalistic nature, even going as far as to give them tails and ears of various animals.

Physical Description

Beastial resemble humans almost perfectly. However, Kemoneko have ears and a tail based off of their animal half and claws. They also tend to still have the animalistic side of them, which causes them to act much like that animal would (a cat would be enticed by string, a wolf enticed by a bone, etc.).

Society

Most beastial hail from the city of Varinia, which lies upon the eastern coast of Jinosa – the main continent of Versumi. Those who do not live there have likely visited Varinia at one point in time in their life, usually during their Coming of Age ritual. Inside the city lies a temple to the Seikatsu Tree. They mostly worship it due to the fact that he removed their demonic heritage from them.
