Versus RP Race: Animalian

Race
Animalian

History
The discovery of the Animalians were due to travelers who always shared stories of people they found wandering in the forest where it seemed they would disappear into thin air leaving them dazed until they were attacked by a wild animal. These stories grew and changed over time to hunters spotting animals that looked as if they had human eyes in the forests and seeing humans with animal eyes roaming around the village. Although sightings of these aren't common, every once in a while, the claims of Animalian sightings and stories come up leading their existance to be confirmed. It was not until decades later where the sightings of these odd  animals increased dramatically and the first group of Animalian were discovered.
