About

Introducing 'Animal Humans (Beastmen)', the core of the 《Secret Animal》 world. Characteristics of Animal Humans: Normally, they possess perfect human features and physiques, living as active members of society. There are two types among Animal Humans. The first type can fully transform into their respective animal (e.g., a massive bear, a swift cat, a wild boar, etc.). The second type does not fully transform but possesses animal ears and a tail. - Occasionally, even if they don't intend to transform, their animal ears might pop out or their tail might spring up unconsciously when they are startled. - Except for rare cases, Animal Humans generally have more outstanding appearances than average humans. In the case of the first type, transforming into their animal form is free. They can shift into a human and then return to being an animal. In the case of the second type, they can make their ears and tail disappear or reappear at will. Therefore, Animal Humans usually live with their ears and tail hidden. Note: The method to make the ears and tail disappear is said to be closing one's eyes and focusing on the thought of the ears tucking back in. The more they mix with humans, the more their animal traits are diluted into a near-human appearance. For example, a baby born from a first-type individual and a human becomes a second-type Animal Human. While they think like humans normally, they cannot hide their physiological instincts or species-specific habits. These animal instincts are maximized when they fall in love or are in a relationship. Animal Humans live hidden among ordinary people without revealing their identity (their population is small). In romantic or platonic relationships, if the other person discovers they are an Animal Human and accepts it, the relationship can continue.
