kemono ghouls

friends

they are all created by Sandstar and native to Japari Park, are the titular focus of the Kemono Friends multimedia franchise. They are animals, mythological creatures and artificial intelligence that have become anthropomorphized into human girls, retaining the most distinguishing features and capabilities of their original form.

Characteristics

Physical characters vary greatly from Friend to Friend, as a natural result of the plurality of creatures from which they are formed. Their outfits as well as their non-human physical features (additional ears, tails, wings) are directly inspired by their original forms in both shape and coloration. For instance, bird Friends that are capable of flight all have a pair of wings connected to their heads, which matches the surrounding hair. All Friends are female, resembling healthy human girls roughly from their preteens to their late twenties. Friends are capable of speech and demonstrate a high capacity for learning comparable to that of humans, though they do not appear to be innately literate, and upon "birth" it does not seem they are universally aware of the name of their own species. Their abilities differ greatly depending on their animal of origin, and often easily surpass humans in raw physical aptitude. Due to Kemonoplasm's unique properties, their animalian body parts are able to phase through their clothing, provided they are not aware they are wearing clothes. Through sheer force of willpower, they can also make said body parts vanish if they believe with enough conviction that they are fully human.

ghoul friends

similar to friends but ghoul friends are humanoid species that are carnivorous and cannibalistic. They have the same physical appearance and intelligence as humans, but their inner biology, mentality, and diet are different.

Kagunes (ghoul friends only)

There are four types of kagune: ukaku, koukaku, rinkaku, and bikaku. They are named because of the placement of their kagune. For example, ghouls with an ukaku kagune have increased speed and strength.

Quinques (friends only)

a weapon used by ghoul hunters. Quinques are made from the kakuhou, or predatory organ, of fallen ghouls.
