I don't know if people still think about this but here's the explanation.
The reason why orcs look like pig monsters in japanese stories is due to a mistranslation in their D&D manual of monsters. Orcs are usually described with having pig like fangs and some small pig like details. However in ther manual they translated as if orcs were pig-like creatures instead. It's the same reason as to why their kobolds look like dogs instead of lizards where D&D kobolds were tiny lizardmen with some dog-like features in their faces, but they were translated as being dog-like instead.
Anyway this error persisted for too long until if became the norm for them. Much like how people nowadays can immediately relate to virus-mutated-epidemic-spreading-creatures as being zombies, instead of spirit-possessed-corpses, which is what zombies should really be.

That explains why in some Isekai and fantasy stories the protags sometimes eat Orc meat... Because to the Japanese audience is must be the next best thing to pork. It still strikes me as odd how casually that's done in those stories though: pig-like or not they have language, society and culture.

@Riger Pretty sure kobolds that are intelligent enough claim lineage with the dragons. Whether or not that was proven remains to to be seen.

Ugh, Gelatinous cube, I've seen a picture of that thing once. Doesn't look good. =.= Honestly, slimes are just about the worst, cuz they're resilient to physical dmg, so you need magic to hit them or an enchanted weapon. And let's not even talk about those that can damage armor (I'm not talking about light clothing here).

@BloodySorcerer I kinda prefer Western orcs (such as Warcraft ones) to Japanese orcs most of the time.

The creepiest thing about a Gelatinous Cube is that some of them are perfectly transparent, so there could be one occupying the entire volume of a room you've just opened, where you might just blindly walk into if you fail a perception roll or don't think to check. I had a DM who fooled us by describing what appeared to be Living Armor in the corner of a room, it turned out to be the gear of a deceased adventurer suspended upright in the mass of the monster.

Every time I re-read and get to this part I get disappointed all over again that the mage loli isn't a sheep/goat girl, just a girl with a horn adorned hood.
This manga has a depressing lack of kemonomimi.

Random question for my fellow cultured individuals here, what a good general term for people with animal features?
Beast kin is one I'm partial to, monster girl/boy never made much sense when the people in question are, well, people and not monsters.
What is your opinion? What suggestions for terms do you have and why?
