Shifters Reproduce sexually. They have a Gestation period of 6 months.

Shifters reach adulthood at age 10.

Most Shifters live best in grasslands and savannas.

Shifters are Omnivores.

Shifters begin growing their hair after about 4 years after birth. Before then, they look like Humans with animal-like ears.

Shifters use a social structure similar to most regular Tribal humans.

Shifters have a mixture of Human and Animal face. Typically, they have a Human face with the associated animal's eyes, ears, and teeth. Beasthide are almost only this. Longtooth have fangs, which are retractable. Swift striders look more like an Elf than human. Wildhunts typically have eyes similar to wolves or eagles.

Most Shifters live in Ichenda, in the Wild lands.

SHifters are about as intelligent as a Human.

Shifters can see up to 60 feet in darkness.

Shifters use the names of the animal they most associate with.

Shifters believe that having much more animal-like features makes them more beautiful. Typically, females will wear many animal pelts and hide to look more like the animal they skinned.

Males are to protect the tribes from invaders, while females are to bear and care for the children of the tribe.

Males simply ask females to enter a relationship, with a simple agree or disagree. When two Males want to enter a relationship with the same female, they typically fight each other in a Gladiatorial-type of fight, and both parties fight until one stops fighting, usually because one is knocked out.

Shifters usually want to continue their lineage with children.

Shifters use simple tools such as scythes, hoes, buckets, spears, and the like.

Common.

Whenever a shifter meets a new person, whether it's another shifter or a member of another race, they usually gift them something, such as a smooth stone they found, the tusk of an animal, a weapon, or a figurine. Usually not money, however, as they believe that using money is not a sincere form of gift giving. In the event that the shifter does not have something to gift, they would apologize to the person and try and find something

Shifters tend to wear fur coats and animal pelts.

Shifters make figurines of their leaders and of any gods the tribe worships. Typically, gods they worship are gods of hunting, gods of tribal people, and Marsta, god of animals.

Shifters must work to make their keep in the tribe. This work is a leather tanner, a farmer, a hunter, and a weaponsmith. Some tribes have diplomats, who keep relations with other races fine, Lycanthrope eyes, who are shifters who make sure no Were people are among their tribe, and the fishers.

Shifters cannot destroy or desecrate the Figurines. Doing so is the equivalent of insulting either the god or the leader of the Figurine.

In the year 134wr, a tribe of humans were cursed into Lycanthropy on the Island Ichenda. These humans would spread the curse all over Ichenda. However, in 409wr, the last none-cursed tribe, the Vtrand, gave birth to the first Shifter, when a Lycanthrope and a Non-cursed mated, creating a creature with small amounts of both inside it. At first, they were seen as monsters by both sides. To the Humans, they where a lesser Lycanthrope, and to the Lycanthropes, they were Humans trying to infiltrate them and destroy them. Eventually, however, they eventually would be Tolerated by the Humans, only because the Lycanthropes where everywhere. Eventually, in the year 1232wr, most of the Human and Lycanthrope population were gone because of the Shifters, and that they are always the end result when either a human and Lycanthrope, a Lycanthrope and a Shifter, or a Human and a Shifter mate is a Shifter. As such, Ichenda is now mostly Shifter. In 2018wr, most of Ichenda was killed, making it so that only Shifters and Lycanthropes are the only natural born humanoids in Ichenda.

Most Shifters are distrusted by most humanoids, not because they are evil, but because people mistake them for Lycanthropes. Most Beast-like races, such as Tabaxi and Kenku, are usually friendly to Shifters, if only a little more than normal.
