Homebrew Nekomimi Species Details

Nekomimi are a race of humanoids that arise from a rare mutation that can affect any other humanoid race. They are born normally for their race, except they exhibit a combination of their parent's race and feline features. The mutation is not caused by any environmental triggers, and there is no way short of divination to see if a baby is a potential Nekomimi.

Although an aberration within the reproductive cycle of other races, Nekomimi themselves breed true. A child will not exhibit the features of both parents, instead strongly showing the traits of one, most often the parent that shares it's gender with the child. They are all of varying differences, but mostly have similarities to Homo Sapiens, though having a set of cat ears and/or a tail. While some differ in appearance, almost to the point of appearing to be an entirely different species, they are of the same race (Mostly). It is challenging to tell if a cat-creature is, in fact, a Nekomimi; some can be confused with Catkin, Catfolk, and Werecats of differing species, and even, albeit rarely and usually by someone extremely impaired mentally(Such of the case of being heavily drunk) or visually, moogles. Nekomimi are strictly a close-knit group of creatures so closely similar to one another, that they would have to be considered the same species to preserve Humanoid sanity.

Nekomimi seem to be of Gaian (Natural) or divine source, or perhaps are simply aberrant creatures of evolution. It is impossible to truly explain how these creatures could come to exist, but they do. Though some theories suggest that there may be some divine hand at play by one of the gods of nature.
