Other Races

Since the release of the Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill, many previously thought mythological human and sub-human species have been revealed to the general public.

Human Race
Humans (人間, Ningen), scientific name Homo Sapiens, are the most populous race on the planet largely thanks to their ability to adapt themselves to their environment.

Aggressively territorial, while possessing no natural means of offense or defence (claws, armour) that other races may possess, the race's ability to create and adapt objects to serve specific functions, and their tendency to form and live/work in groups, has enabled them to dominate the majority of the planet and force other races to withdraw into their own enclosed populations away from human attention.

As this article is written by humans, for humans, for ease of identification when classifying other liminal races, they are classified in relation to how similar their appearance is to the average human body structure.
 * Humanoid (monsters that appear human but for one or two distinguishing traits)(See M.O.N. or ANM48)
 * Demihuman (monsters with a half-human appearance at most)(See Kurusu's Harem)
 * Psudeohuman (while bipedal and having some humanoid features their overall appearance is completely nonhuman)(See O.C.R.L.)

Arachne
Arachne are a demihuman race with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider.

Rachnera Arachnera is an Arachne. One of The Eight Brothers is also dating an arachne girl.



Centaur
Centaurs are a demihuman race with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse.

Centorea Shianus and her mother are female Centaurs (known as Centaurides). One of The Eight Brothers is also dating centaur girl.



Cyclops
Cyclopes are humanoid beings that possess the notable feature of only having one eye.

Appearing in Greek mythology as members of a primordial race of giants, a Cyclops possess superhuman eyesight; able to see objects up to 2km away without assistance. However, they have poor depth perception and their eyes require constant protection from harsh environments.

Manako is a cyclops who works in M.O.N. as the team's sniper.



Dairy Breed Centaur
Dairy Breed Centaur is a demihuman subspecies of Centaur that produces an exceptional amount of milk. Among the already well-endowed female centaurs, Dairy Centaurs have particularly large breasts. Because of this, they often serve as wet nurses for other centaurs who have trouble producing milk, and due to this it's common for Dairy Centaurs to live among groups of other centaur subspecies. Though they are about the same size as standard centaurs, their waists and legs are especially thick. Dairy centaurs are easygoing and meek. Their maternal instincts are strong, and they love small things.

Doppelgänger
Not much is known about Doppelgängers. They are said to be the exact copy of a person and should they ever meet the person they are copying, the original person will spontaneously die.



Dragonewt
Also known as Dragon-kin, a Dragonnewt is a reptilian demihuman said to be descended from dragons. Possessing scales and draconian wings, a dragonewt's scales are stronger than steel and as such they can block all cutting weapons and even deflect bullets.

Their tails are strong enough to support their entire bodyweight and can also detach if pulled forcefully. This attribute is a big secret kept within the race due to its association with lower class reptiles. Also, most Dragonnewts have a reverse scale (a scale that grows in the opposite direction to all the others). It is said that if the scale is touched, the dragon would go into a fury and immediately kill the person responsible; it is unknown wether this is a spontaneous reaction (like a centaur kicking when startled by something behind them) or if the scale is an extremely sensitive/private issue.



Dryad
Dryads, or Tree Nymphs, are psudeohumans that appear as tree spirits in Greek mythology. An incredibly long-lived species, dryads have more in common with the common plant than they do with any animal; for example the leaves on a dryad's head are fully capable of photosynthesis and their "legs" act as roots that they can imbed into the ground to absorb soil nutrients.

A taciturn species with little social interaction, when a dryad chooses to "set roots" within a forest, the forest's natural health greatly increases.



Dullahan
Dullahan is a humanoid race most commonly known for having a removable head.

Lala is a Dullahan. One of The Eight Brothers is also dating a dullahan girl.



Devil
Demihuman



Echidna
Echidna are a demihuman subspecies of lamia, however, because more of their bodies are covered by scales compared to lamias, echidnas are more closely related to Lizardfolk. Their name means "viper women", and true to their name, they possess poisonous fangs inside their mouths. Their venom is a type of haemorrhagin and must be treated with caution. Their snake-like lower bodies are covered in a unique pattern reminiscent of vipers.



Harpy
Harpy is a monogendered (female) demihuman race with the body of a human and the wings and talons of a bird.

Subspecies of the harpy include the Land Animal Harpy, the Poultry Harpy and the Raptor Harpy.

Papi and her mother are Harpies. One of The Eight Brothers is also dating a harpy.



Heavyweight Centaur
Heavyweight Centaur are a demihuman subspecies of Centuar. The most muscular centaur subspecies, they are so powerful that they can move around unimpeded even while wearing heavy armor. However, since they rarely have opportunities to wear armor in modern times, they apply their strength to farming and agriculture. They are the largest and most muscular of the centaurs, and their legs are far thicker than those of other centaur subspecies. However, most are gentle, good-natured, and absent-minded, and they are often dim-witted.



Holstaurus
Holstaurus, or Holstaurs, are a humanoid sub-species of Minotaur. They are similar to a human in all characteristics but for possessing a pair of cow-like ears upon their head. They are generally very gentle and are more associated with cows, while Minotaurs are more associated with bulls.

There is a Holstaur performing as a member of the idol group ANM48.



Kitsune
Kitsune are a psudeohuman race that appear in Japanese folklore as intelligent beings that possess magical abilities to shape shift. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others, other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives. It is unknown if male Kitsune exist or if they are a single-gendered race.

The more tails a kitsune has (they may have as many as nine) the older, wiser, and more powerful they are. Because of their potential power and influence, some people make offerings to them as a deity.

Many Shinto Shrines posses statues of foxes as homages to Kitsune and the fox-god.



Kobold
Kobolds are psudeohuman beings that possess canine physical characteristics and traits.

Abundant in German folklore, Kobolds are known for mining rich veins of Cobalt; a mineral used in certain alloys and small electronics. As such, many kobolds have earned themselves a small fortune in processing and selling cobalt on the market.

Possessing coarse fur covering their bodies, a kobold's ears are around 4x more sensitive than a human's while their sense of smell is easily 1000x times more sensitive.

Polt is a kobold and the owner of a sports club.



Lamia
Lamia are a monogendered (female) reptilian race with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake.

Subspecies of the lamia include the Echidna, the Medusa and the Melusine.

Miia and her mother are lamias. One of The Eight Brothers is also dating a lamia.



Land Animal Harpy
The Land Animal Harpy is demihuman subspecies of the Harpy adapted for terrestrial life, like ostriches and emus. Their wings are small, but their bodies have evolved to be larger than humans. Using their thick, powerful legs, they can run at incredibly high speeds. Despite their large bodies and sharp claws, they are generally easygoing.



Lightweight Centaur
Lightweight Centaur, also known as Racing Centaurs, are a demihuman subspecies of Centaur that excels at running. They are smaller than standard centaurs, with slimmer and tighter bodies. Though they approach their rank and records with a stoic attitude and love running, they are easily injured, and they devote much of their attention to studying health care. They can be rather moody, but this can be attributed to timidity or physical and mental innocence. Since their bodies are not as large, neither are their breasts.



Lizardfolk
Lizardfolk, or Lizardmen, are a demihuman race that possess lizard-like attributes such as claws, scales and a detachable tail.

A lizardfolk's tail stores their body's nutrients. If they should lose their tail, worse case scenario is that they'll die of malnutrition.

Liz is a Lizardfolk working as an agent in the Talio private security firm.



Medusa
Medusa, also known as Gorgons, are a demihuman subspecies of lamia with snakes for hair. In mythology, their gaze are said to turn creatures into stone, but in actuality they possess no such ability. However, their gaze seems to be very keen, and their glare makes living creatures unable to move, as though they've been turned to stone. In reality, they have poor eyesight and only appear to be glaring despite their lack of ill will (they are instead only trying to see more clearly). Because their hair is made of snakes they are trouble by the fact that they can't change their hairstyle.



Melusine
Melusine are a demihuman subspecies of lamia with dragon wings on their backs. Due to this, they share characteristics with Dragonewts. In contrast to other lamia subspecies, they are more similar to sea snakes than terrestrial snakes and prefer to live by the shore. Their wings aren't strong enough to lift their long lower bodies, making them useless.



Mermaid
Mermaids are a demihuman liminal race with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish.

Meroune Lorelei is a mermaid. One of The Eight Brothers is also dating a mermaid.



Minotaur
Minotaurs are a demihuman race with bovine attributes. Affiliated with Greek myth, Minotaurs are visually muscular, possess cloven feet and are easily taller than an average human while also possessing greater physical strength that may rival a Centaur.

Much like their bovine cousins, female minotaurs produce large quantities of breast milk. If they do not milk their breasts regularly, their breasts become swollen to the point of it being uncomfortable.

Cathyl is a Minotaur. One of The Eight Brothers is also dating Minotaur girl.



Nekomimi
Also known as a Catgirl, a Nekomimi is a humanoid species similar to a human in all characteristics but for possessing a pair of cat-like ears upon their head.

There is a Nekomimi performing as a member of the idol group ANM48.



Ogre
A Demihuman type. They are very tall and possess incredible strength, and have a large horn on their head. They tend to have dark skin. Tionishia is a Ogre.



Oni
Oni are a demihuman species that appear in Japanese folklore as a type of devil or ogre.

Humanoid in appearance, Oni possess a large physique, two long horns protruding from their foreheads and unique skin pigmentations of red or blue. While both "races" possess enhanced strength and a weakness to alcohol, "Blue" oni are generally considered more intelligent and rational than their red-skinned cousins, who are considered more lax and "free-spirited".

Kinu is an Oni working as an agent in the Talio private security firm.



Orc
Orcs are a race of brutish, aggressive and generally lustful psudeohumans. Possessing prominent fangs and a snout, their features tend to be "pig-like" in appearance.

Aggressive scavengers and opportunistic carnivores, while they possesses a low cunning and a low intelligence when compared to other more intellectual species, Orcs do possess a crude culture of their own. Violent by nature, they will fight ferociously if compelled but tend towards more chaotic/destructive behavior such as pillaging, rape and/or cowardice.

The Orc Culture Recultivation League is a group of Orc terrorists who are dedicated to the cause of increasing Orc content in mainstream erotic manga. They usually come into conflict with a similar group of humans over which erotic genre is better; Female Knight x Orcs or Female Knight x Tentacles.



Poultry Harpy
The Poultry Harpy is a demihuman Harpy subspecies adapted for laying eggs. They cannot fly and are unable to run at high speeds like Land Animal Harpies. However, they produce far more eggs than other Harpy subspecies, and they continuously lay eggs nearly every day. Poultry harpies have a red crest on top of their heads. Unlike chickens, their appearance is natural, not selectively bred. They are very cowardly (chicken).



Raptor Harpy
Raptor Harpys are a large eagle- or hawk-like demihuman subspecies of Harpy. Their bodies are very similar to human bodies. Though other Harpy subspecies are omnivorous, Raptor Harpies are carnivores. They are proud and difficult to please, an unusual trait among the generally amicable Harpies.



Satyr
Demihuman



Shapeshifter
Shapesifters are a race of beings that can take on any appearance they desire. Although their true forms are unknown, they are said to be quite eldritch and are affiliated with the Cthulhu Mythos.

Doppel is a Shapeshifter, although she refers to herself as a Doppelgänger as people seem to understand a Doppelgänger better than a shapeshifter.



Slime
Slimes are a race of Pseudohuman beings composed of a gelatinous water-based substance whose bodies can be molded into various physical forms.

Suu is a Slime. One of The Eight Brothers is also dating a Slime.



Tetra Arms
Tetra Arms are a species of demihuman that possess two or more pairs of arms.

A nomadic race, prominently living within tribes in desert environments, the more active members of Tetra tribes loot passing caravans for treasure, provisions and sometimes abductees.

The tattoo paint across their bodies are proof of their courage.



Usagimimi
Also known as a Rabbitgirl, an Usagimimi is a humanoid species similar to a human in all characteristics but for possessing a pair of rabbit-like ears upon their head.

There is a Usagimimi performing as a member of the idol group ANM48.



Yuki-onna
A Yuki-onna is a psudeohuman that appears in Japanese folklore as a snow spirit of inhuman beauty that appears before travelers trapped in snowstorms with the purpose of killing them.

While the Yuki-onna race is not inherently malevolent, their stoic demeanor and their natural environment being hazardous to humans, may have given rise to myths that they intentionally cause deaths.

While possessing elemental control over ice and snow, Yuki-onna can not live in high temperate environments without assistance.

Yukio is a Yuki-onna who runs the Arctic Inn onsen.



Zombie
Humanoid
