I'm still so confused by the ear-hoods. I thought it was just decoration at first (like cat ear hoods in final fantasy) but they were actually called beastmen in this chapter? Are ears that are a part of a hood so convincing that they were mistaken as beastmen? If they're actually beastmen, why are the ears only there when the hood's on? Do beastmen just look like normal people but they wear hoods with ears on them?
