Beastman

Beastmen/Demi-Humans are one of the three primary Races of Tortus.

It is a collective terms for various non-human races that possess human-like characteristics. The differences between Beastmen and Humans may be obvious, such as a tail and animal ears, or inconspicuous, such as pointed ears. A common trait among all beastmen, however, is that they are generally incapable of using Magic due to their inability to wield Mana.

Beastmen have varying lifespans, with some races like the Rabbitmen being comparable to Humans, while others such as Elves can live for centuries, but typically only live for 200 years. Depending on their individual race, a Beastman's Stats can range from 300 to 600.

Beastmen are capable of breeding with other races.

Society
Beastmen were generally seen as inferior by most other beings due to their inability to use Magic, and were often persecuted for it. As a result of this harsh treatment, most of them lived in the Sea of Trees, which was surrounding by a fog barrier that made it impossible most beings to navigate, other than beastmen. As a result, it protected them from being attacked from other races. They had even establish a nation called Verbergen for all of them to coexist.

As beastmen did not possess Magic, they did not worship any Gods of Tortus that were told to have blessed other races with mana. Beastman instead choose to worship nature.

In modern times, a beastman that was born with the ability to wield mana were considered to be "cursed", and would be executed (along with anyone that was harbouring them).

Trivia

 * The fact that some beastmen are capable of wielding mana suggests that their general inability of possessing it is not a result of their biological disposition, but rather that they may have originally been able to wield it at some point in history, and that it had become dormant overtime as they favored using their own unique natural abilities.
 * As of now, every Beastman mix-blood in the series has inherited traits from their beastman parent over their other parent.
