Halflings resemble humans at first glance, but possess several animalistic traits differentiating them from humans, appearing to be a cross between human and animal. They are completely sapient and civilized, and have integrated into settlements and society at large since their discovery. There exists 7 different halfling sub-species, each one possessing traits and elements from a different animal. All halflings are biologically compatible with each other, [[human|humans]], and by extension, with [[youkai]], and all have retained the [[human]]'s omnivore diet.
''Feline halflings'' possess, as the name suggests, feline features on an otherwise human-like body, and are genetically related to the [[lynx]]. Specifically, they possess feline ears and tail, a (and lack of human ears), slitted eyes, pointed fangs, and sharp, retractable claws instead of nails, on both hands and feet. They also possess a greater amount of body hair than a human, appearing as patches of fur, though none has ever been observed with a full coat covering the entire body.
Colloquially, a feline halfling may be referred to as a ''catperson'' (the terms ''catboy'' and ''catgirl'' are also frequently employed). On average, they are shorter and leaner than humans, with an average height of 5 feet 3 inches, and an average weight of 140 pounds for males, and 115 pounds for females. Like humans, however, the actual height and weight may vary greatly between individuals.
