Beastfolk General: Worldbuilding Edition

Since the last Beastfolk General thread actually made it to closed length, I figured why not start another?

Share your ideas, thoughts, opinions and questions on the vast array of canonical or possible beastfolk for use in Veeky Forums media.

Have you ever considered an unusual slant on a beastfolk race? For example, I've been thinking about a Japanese-flavored race of sharkfolk physically based on the bamboo sharks of Asia.

Personally, I got a setting with the following beastfolk races planned for it:

* Neo-American Settler-themed rifle-toting bunnyfolk.
* Magitekno-Scavenger freedom-fighting ratfolk.
* Pulpy Necromancer-Priest jackal-folk.
* Psionic gnolls as the rebellious slaves of the jackal-folk.

So, query; is there any real reason not to include civilized beastfolk in your settings?

Maybe if they work better in the setting as uncivilized, or if you have other races or factions that fill their roles better, or if your players don't like them. It all really depends.

>* Neo-American Settler-themed rifle-toting bunnyfolk.

I really like these. I hope they're Mormon, with all included jokes about having a million kids each family.

Uh, does being matriarchal and headed by cabals of female druids count as "Mormon"? They are down-to-earth, love their hootananies, and their breeding abilities are the stuff of joke and bawdy tales throughout the known world - the average family has about between one and three dozen kids.

Technically, the gnomes of the setting sort of outbreed them - a gnome woman averages between 30 and 50 kids in her lifespan - but the gnomes spread their births out over the years, whilst these "haffuns" have more human-level lifespans, so their immediate families are bigger.

>That earpro

You know, in that one manga about the centuars the people with cat ears had special glasses that fit around them, I would assume you would make hearing pro that makes sense for rabbit ears.

Don't mind me though, my autism tripped just ever so slightly

Obviously the matriarchal families and cabals of female druids is not very mormon. I'm just saying that you missed an opportunity is all.

>that poor stance
>those locked arms

1/10 would not innawoods with.

We have no Mormons in my corner of the world, so I couldn't use the jokes anyway.
