#world #anagram anagram for *mutation* *** A term used for any flora or fauna that has the [[Aumtratic Essence]]. Although this is the standard classification used for these creatures, the Numittao assume a "sub-classification" based on the type of fauna or flora they started as. Due to their status as Numittao, creatures are generally kept outside of humanoid society circles for the supposed safety of everyone. This results in the Numittao forming their own societies away for heavily populated areas, but they will still conduct business and adventure with other humanoids with no qualms. Below is a list of the most common Numittao present: > [!infobox |wfull] > | Ancestry | Animal | [[Numittao Tongue]] | > | :---: | :---: | :---: | > | Tengu | Bird | Tengu | > | Leshy | Plant | N/A | > | Catfolk (Amurrun) | Cat | Amurrun | > | Kholo | Hyena | Kholo | > | Ratfolk (Ysoki) | Rat | Ysoki | > | Kobold | Small Reptile | Sakvroth | > | Lizardfolk (Iruxi) | Large Reptile | Iruxi | > | Minotaur | Bull | Jotun | > | Athamaru | Fish | Thalassic | > | Tripkee | Frog | Tripkee | > | Surki | Insect | Surki | ### Notes - [ ] Awakened Animals can qualify as Numittao in this manner; Awakened Animals that are "newly awakened" via [[Aumtra]] will be assigned an [[AIN]] with [[TASS]] and will adopt the Numittao name. These Awakened Animals take on more humanoid features due to [[Aumtra]]'s influence, and thus appear as a mix between humans and animals. - [ ] Awakened Animals that are not exposed to [[Aumtra]] are actually treated differently from other Numittao. All [[Tirpis]] encourage "created" Awakened Animals to hide from humanoids and act as internal scouts for [[TASS]] since they still look like normal animals, unlike those that are "newly awakened". This in turn causes them to be treated significantly better, though they are still given an [[AIN]] in case they choose to interact with society. - [ ] Numittao that develop lineages go through the standard [[AIN]] process as normal and go through their own classification standards (however, descendants are not counted as Awakened Animals). - [ ] Contrary to belief, otherworldly [[ancestries]] that share characteristics with the Numittao are not the same. Although they both retain animalistic traits, Numittao specifically must have been in contact with [[Aumtra]] and not have a humanoid sense of sentience. These [[ancestries]] from other worlds have unfortunately been lumped together with Numittao, despite being more humanoid in nature. - [ ] This, in turn, causes the [[AIN]] to reflect a different number from the normal Numittao - [ ] Otherworldly "Numittao" have largely kept to themselves in [[Ascelia]], much like the rest of the Numittao. They can reproduce with other Numittao without issues, and have thus welcomed Numittao and acclimated into each other's inner circles.
