Oh the things I would do if that catgirl looked at me and said that...

We do see other species in Utawarerumono, such as the bird people like Kamyu (and what was the name of the blonde she goes with?), and I'm pretty sure the super-strong girl - what was her name, the one they had to make a gigantic cleaver for? - was supposed to be the catgirl.

For those that aren't familiar with the term, Kemono musume = beast girls.
And i agree with Toraneko... so many... options...

Granted, the category is VERY large. Anything with a humanoid look, humanoid or higher intelligence and the ability to speak falls in it.
True, though the name "Kemono-musume", among the general fandom, refers more specifically to a subcategory of jyuujin.
In particular, "kemono-musume" is used for female humanoid characters with animal ears, likely a tail, some mannerisms characteristic of their species (e.g. catgirls preening, meowing, purring), and possibly paw-like hands and/or feet. Fur may be present, but it must be either barely noticeable, or not covering the majority of the body.
Catgirls are the most popular variant of "kemono-musume", even so far as to warrant their own sub-subcategory, "nekomimi-musume" ("cat-ears girl"), which means the character has cat ears, possibly a cat tail, and definitely has the mannerisms of a cat.
The easiest way to know whether or not a female character qualifies as a kemono-musume or not is to look at the face. Muzzle-shaped faces automatically disqualify one as such, though they are still jyuujin.
Examples:
Sanada-san from UFO Princess Walkure. Textbook example of a nekomimi-musume if there ever was one.
Felicia of Darkstalkers. She's on the far end of the spectrum, what with the digitigrade hindpaws, large claws, and visible fur. The difference made is that 1. she has a normal, human-shaped head, 2. the hands and feet are transformable, and 3. the fur does not cover all of her body and is situated to resemble a "swimsuit" fighting outfit.

I don't know why, but that made me crack the fuck up. :rofl:
By the way, isn't anyone else amused by the fact that Felicia's body is noticeably more voluptuous and attractive than Morrigan's, despite the latter being a succubus and thus supposedly BUILT for seduction and sex? :snigger:
There's a reason why Felicia is the most popular Darkstalker female by a very large margin...

You're welcome.
Amused, yes, but I figured it was due to the whole "you'll die for the privelege" thing Morrigan has going. Felicia's just lovable, though you might need to invest in scratch-proofing.
I was under the impression that it was because few men would openly admit to being pedo for Lilith, but I do see your point. :snigger:
