Description Byyst ( Baest) or Beast lol
The second most common race in the world of Yoryyntel, Byyst are a bipedal race with animal attributes. Depending on the animal they take after, their strengths, weaknesses, and skills vary. Common characteristics include darker or colorful pigmentation, digitigrate feet/legs, and other characteristics not found in humans.

Though their animal-derived traits can be beneficial, there are also setbacks and other negative influences. For example, Byyst with rain-forest animal heritage can only dwell in rainforests or other humid, green ecosystems; any other climate is detrimental to their health, though as technology progresses, more and more ways of surviving in alien environments have risen.
Some species may have a hard time controlling instinctual behavior, such as rutting for deer, or migration for certain species of birds; animal heritage may also manifest itself in areas such as food preference, circadian rhythm, and general lifestyle.

The race is locally known as the demi-gods, though the term has been used jokingly in recent times - this comes from the observation that many of the spirits of the world resemble Byyst in appearance.

Design Notes
> Pure Byyst always have digitigrade feet, markings, and other traits of the animal they take after. (they are not “kemonomimi”)
> All Byyst MUST be based on existing animals.(No unicorns, dragons, or extinct animals - Recently extinct animals such as the Thylacine, Japanese Wolf, etc. are acceptable, however. )
> Remember to keep in mind the climate of the village/city you are wanting to apply to, along with the environment your animal of choice is usually found in. Please use your common sense and a bit of research to determine wheter or not an animal species is adequate for a certain local’s climate.

Oh. He's not an elephant. He's either a rhino or a hippo.

O3O If you make a bird Byyst, exactly how functional are the feathers allowed to be? Is it just for decoration? Or are they allowed to go big enough for short flights, or gliding?

I don't think the feathers that appear on the arms would suffice enough to lift the weight of their body off the ground- maybe if long enough, a possible glide off a steep height? But otherwise they're rather grounded.

To what sort of animals are byyst restricted to as a race? As for an example, are creatures like fish and insects not allowed? ( I believe they are but just asking to be 100 % sure u v u '' )

Yep! Any range of critter is allowed, as long as it doesn't cross over into ranges where they may be considered another race (i.e. a fish byyst that is nearly a merman[i.e. tail for legs], etc).

O-oh man! Thanks! But this made me wonder - if I made a byyst of a race that doesn't normally have legs ( fish, seals, etc ).. how would their body work? I mean I get they would have the race's typical attributes, but the feet are what worry me the most <'D Would they have digitigrate legs or normal human ones.. I believe the anwers might be quite obvious but uh oh, I like to make things sure ;v;

I have a question, I would like to make a Byyst girl, however. I realise that they should be based on real animals,
I want to make a girl based of a Moose, but i'd really like to give her antlers. I realise, thinking logically here, females don't have the antlers, only the males. Would it be alright if i gave her antlers? or would i have to stick her into another species just to do that?
Thanks~

That flamingo Byyst is fantastic LOL but they're all fantastic anyway. xDD Really love the use of unconventional animals aside from catgirls and rabbit boys.
