In the fantasy genre exists alot of different kinds beastmen
1. Only the ears, eyes, fangs, wings, tail, horns and hair, your basic Catgirl, Goatgirl, Lizardgirl and Foxgirl
(skin for lizardmen only)
(ears on top of head and no human ears because duh)
2. 1 but the animal ears are where human ears would be
(example: Ake No Tobari)
3. 1 but claws/long sharp fingernails (retractable maybe?
4. 3 but slight fur is all over the entire body and they dont have the animal counterpart limbs yet
5. 3 but now the hands are the animal counterpart, can still hold things just fine
(covered in fur/scales/scutes/feathers)
6. 5 but now the feet up to the knees are the animal counterpart, again, still works
(covered in fur/scales/scutes/feathers)
7. 6 but now the lower animal counterpart goes up to slightly above the hips while the arms stop at the shoulders
(feet are no longer plantigrade and you now see that "second knee" most animals have)
8. 7 but now the fur goes all over the body
(abs chest and breasts are still human looking)
9. 8 but the head has a very small snout and the nose is like the animal counterpart, breasts are now like the animal counterpart meaning about 8-10 nips for dogs and 8 for cats
10. Is just your average furry, animal ears on top of head, animal head, fur/scales/scutes/feathers like the animals, tails, paws and and leg structure not needed but if chosen, more humanized, more than 2 nipples not common but possible, mostly human muscular structure and possibly a stronger body than humans
11. Is just animals that stand on two legs and are intelligent
Personally i like 2 alot because i like the look alot, tobari is super cute,
7 is also really good but i think 2 is my favorite
I think our little catgirl here falls under 5
