THE BASICS 

In this universe, any animal under the Kingdom ANIMALIA has “evolved” to become a human-like anthro that walks on (usually) two legs & (usually) has two arms with opposable thumbs. They are, more often than not, mixes of many animals. But for legal purposes, many only list 2 or 3 species on their official documents.

“THE RULES”

There are not TRUE limits to what a creature could look like in this world. However the points below can help when designing a creature to fit in with the rest of the cast.
Note: Any of these points below CAN be broken to introduce unique features & body types!

• ANY species in the kingdom ANIMALIA.
  • This Includes:
  • Arthropods
  • Mollusks
  • Crustaceans
  • Mammals
  • Birds & Reptiles
  • Fish
  • Even EXTINCT, DOMESTICATED, or CRYPTID creatures!
  • And Many Many More!
• MIXES of species are for more common than SINGLE species.
  Even if a creature seems like only one species, i’d probably has a long list of mixed ancestors or is only a very small partial mix of a closely related species
  ANY SPECIES can produce mixes with each other. (So an insect and a mammal or fish and a bird can have kids together)
• Speaking of having kids, all species have human-like sex characteristics (and that’s as far as I’ll talk about this subject. As far as I know, All babies come from “storks”)
• Typically have just Two legs. If their original species has more, they walk “squidward style” with matching leg pairs waking together.
• Typically have Two arms. (Though usually I allow birds / avian mixes more wings because I like wings!)
• If their original species has less than two arms or legs, they the do as well or they take limbs from whatever they are mixed with (example: A snake x flamingo would get flamingo wings, but they might not have flamingo feet)
• Face Shapes lean more towards animalistic as possible, big horse snouts, snail or bug ”eyes”, elephant trunks, etc
  (though sometimes I get lazy and default to human face with light animal traits. Either works)
• Heights follow more human like rules, though exceptions are possible!
  (An orca or blue whale can be over 7 ft tall, a cricket or ant may be below 3ft tall)
  Animals that are tall or short compared to other members of their species can also take usual heights.
  (A tarantula may be 6ft, while other spiders might be 5ft. A horse may be 6ft, but a pony can be 4ft, etc)
• Animals can have human hands or their original species’ limbs, but modified to be more “human-like”
  Usually they lean as animal like as possible
• Colors & Markings are a free-for-all. There are no limits to colors or markings, even if it goes against the species logic. These are cartoon animals. Feel free to make anthro sparkle dogs.
  (For my own personal story though, I tend to stick to muted colors!>
• Will add more (and clean up formatting) once I think of other stuff!
