Keidran

Keidrans are a humanoid race of which have animal-like characteristics. There are no 'set' keidrans, and they come in a variety of sub-races under four main categories.

Physical Attributes
Keidran are easily distinguished as anthropomorphic, entirely covered in fur, with muzzles/beaks/snouts, ears, tails, and the features of their species, as well as digitigrade legs. The exact Physical attributes vary per sub-race.

Sub-Races
Keidrans come in a large variety of sub-races, ranging from cat-Keidrans to wolf-Keidrans, from bird-Keidrans to lizard-Keidrans. All of these sub-races can be set under four categories.

Feline
These include any kind of large or domestic cat, including tigers, Lynx, or Persians. Most feline Keidrans are known for there speed and balance as a cat would be, and mostly they live among tribes in heavily forested areas or snowy areas. Felines, like any Keidran, are easily enslaved, though most tiger and other big cat Keidrans are hunted for their pelts instead, which is used as material for humans.

Canine
Canine Keidrans include wolves, dogs, and Tasmanian tigers. These mostly live around sparser forests in villages, or among humans as slaves or pets. Dog Keidran are favoured as slaves, for their loyalty and willingness to do work, as well as the strength that felines do not possess.

Avian
Bird Keidran are much rarer than other Keidrans, and include most kinds of bird, aside some water-based or land-based birds. These are extremely rarely enslaved because they are simply so hard to catch and keep, but are often shot down for feathers and food. They mostly reside in mountainous areas or lakes, in flocks.

Reptilian
Reptilian Keidran are very rarely seen. They are said to resemble dragons, and were feared as a result. No reptilian Keidran yet been enslaved- due to both their rarity and their aggression. They mostly stay around volcanoes, deserts, and other hot areas that humans cannot make a habitat out of. A Keidran's size depends on it's species, but on average, reptilians are the tallest of all Keidran, and felines are the smallest.

Language
Each category comes with its own language, with wolfish, feline, reptilian, and avian.

Magic use
Keidrans are a species that can indeed use magic, but require energy crystals to do so.

Heat
Female Keidran go into heat once for a few days every month, of which they will become aggressive and have a high sex drive. They are in fact, though, only fertile a week after their heat. Males when in heat only give off a 'musk' attracting females of most species. Cross-category breeding is possible, but the children will not be able to breed, and are highly likely to succumb to illness or disability.

Yet, cross-breeding with humans is a possibility and is not as risky as cross-breeding with the other sub-races.
