Predacious Furfolk
It is hard to describe Furfolk, for they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Their ancestry can and does range from birds to wolves, from octopi to lizards. Whatever their heritage, they all share a mixed humanoid/bestial physique and possess qualities from their bestial lineage to accompany it. Some end up closer to their bestial ancestors, with only enough humanoid function to wield weapons and armor, while others may appear almost wholly humanoid save for few minor animalistic details. Further, as the animal kingdom is split between predators and prey, Furfolk come in two primary varieties which each hold a particular archetype of their ancestry. Though inherently derived from the various hunters that stalk the land, Predacious Furfolk need not be inherently violent or even desire to eat meat. They simply retain the physical characteristics of their genetic past.
