Glossary edit
- Abeolite: Worn by Animalians and Facimorphs, especially in urban areas, for the modesty of human society more than the wearer. The material is scientifically formulated to expand and stretch to great extremes to accommodate the changing shape. There are mesh segments to allow fur to grow through and there is an overlapping split in the rear to cater for a tail growing.
- Alpha: The male leader of a Bestiabeo family. He is responsible for taking care of the day-to-day running of the clan or tribe of animalians and enforcing the laws, but he answers to the Council of Elders.
- Animalian: Intrinsically, they are part man and part animal, but differ from shape-shifters. There are three main genera in the Animalians: ursians—man-bears; felians—man-cats; and canians—man-canines. Each genus is made up of several subgenera: that is, the felians have families of tiger, panther, lion, cougar, etc. There is much infighting between the genera. Humans cannot be turned into an Animalian—they must be born. But it is possible for a human to mate with an Animalian, whereby the child has a fifty-fifty chance of awakening to their Animalian heritage. It is the same between the genera—the child of two different genera will not know its genus until it awakens.Family: A clan or family group of ursians.Pack: A clan or family group of canians.Pride: A clan or family group of felians.
