Mink
Lore
Much like fish-men and merfolk, minks appear to have a mixture of animal-like and human features. Each mink resembles a certain type of furry mammalian animal. Their features and appendages are very human-like, but often have paws and padded paws. Male minks look much more bestial and hairy, while female minks appear more human-like.
Strength of the Animal Kingdom.
They are considered fearsome and powerful by many, and rightfully so. Minks are born with immense power, speed, stealth, and instincts. Their abilities are far superior to ordinary humans, even at a young age. Every mink, regardless of if they are young or old, is a powerful warrior in battle. This power is greatly elevated when their Sulong Form is activated under a full moon.
Victims of Slavery.
Much like many other non-human races, Minks are sometimes victims of slavery and are valued for their exotic appearance and strength. Additionally, many humans may treat minks with similar amounts of hatred to how they treat other non-humans. This can lead to some degree of resentment between both races, though likely not quite as extreme as certain fish-men. Many minks have the ability to get along with humans if there is some level of understanding and respect.
Residents of Zou.
Most minks reside on a city atop an ancient island-sized elephant named Zunesha. This city is referred to as Zou, which exists somewhere in the New World. This city is incredibly difficult to locate, allowing minks to live away from pirates and the reaches of the World Government. However, some minks do venture outside of Zou, sometimes as pirates, or decide to live in Totto Land.
