A Mermaid has a fish tail. A centaur has a horse's lower body. A satyr has goat horns and legs. They possess animalistic features, despite the absence of animalistic nature on the mermaid's part.

Therianthropy refers to the metamorphosis of humans into other animals.

As usual their should be at least one evil general per good character, just for the sake of common interest.

Ace= Fallen dragon

Dajai= Ifrit Think of it as fighting a creature that may be on his dad's level.

Gereon= The actual Pide Piper...I don't know they baited him in with jawbreakers, he's insane enough, plus he has an army of children slaves

Giri= SHadowulf's ice girl.....or some other ancient elemental king of the plane of ice that is attempting a conquest of complete entropy and stillness

Kevin= some sort of god of death, or perhaps some sort of creature that gave his family the curse in the first place.

The Pheonix= ....not sure what the anti pheonix is....probably the basilisk, or the cockatrice \

Hydra= scylla, or better yet, some sort of Cerebrus hound

plus a cacophony of other extremely evil not as powerful overlords to fill in some spaces.

hm...yes, in it's broadest sense, I supposed. But, in its most literal translation, therianthropy is just a mix of human and animal features. Look it up in the Greek.

Hmmm..anyways, if they aren't therianthropes, what are they?

The term therianthropy comes from n. therianthrope and adj. therianthropic, part man and part beast, from the Greek theríon, θηρίον, meaning "wild animal" or "beast" (impliedly mammalian), and anthrōpos, άνθρωπος, meaning "human being".


Fine.

First thing  think when I see that is human to animal shape-shifting though.

Ehh, no other Djinn is on Djinn Zetsuei's level, ergo his kingliness; but Djinn Buzo is dang close in my story. He's an Ifrit.

And OH, YEAH Tundra Cryos would be the perfect foil for Girisha. She's TOO cool...pun SO intended...

I was thinking along the lines of the original defect demon. You know the technical origin of djin, and/or the incarnation of demonic fire.

They supposedly had some magical qualities.

I could get rid of it, if you want...

an incredibly short giraffe........................ah come on with that way of thinking a goblin is just a short crotchety old man with a bad skin condition.

They were actually giraffe size; they just didn't have spots, and they had horns, not those ossicone things.

I forget what magical properties they supposedly had, though; something to do with the stars...

Not the species of djin named after him

Kevin--Doppelganger---a sort of evil clone you see when supposedly close to death--so all of his abilities but evil and not afraid of death---basically what he could have been if he was the villain

Would make a great recurring villain or anti-villain.

Yeah, yeah clones are overused but hey I think it works in this case.

yeah...not sure if there's any good full sketches of them out, though...

or perhaps have several of them as a sort of challenge, if we ever have to investigate Greece and get stuck in the Minotaur's maze. An evil version of each character inside of a never ending labyrinth doesn't sound like that much of a bad idea.
