Nekomimi have a human-like appearance and they have feature triangular ears at the top of their heads, similar in shape and expressional ability to those of domestic cats. According to the [[Bipedaliforma|Unified Bipedalism Theory]], they belong to the ''Primus nekomimi'' species in the ''Priminiforma'' subfamily but some taxonomists believe that they should fall into the ''Caulidae'' tribe along with Tieflings. These are in addition to ears on the sides of their head that are identical to those of humans. They also have cat-like tails. Their cat-like features are an example of [[Wikipedia:convergent evolution|convergent evolution]], as nekomimi are offshoots of a recent common ancestor with humans and not genetically related to Felines. They are believed to have originally evolved in the islands far to the east of Novaris after a period of isolation from other populations, in particular the island that is today Infinite Loop. Nekomimi populations are known to have migrated to South East Yasteria in antiquity, and today can be found in some capacity on every continent. Significant amounts of nekomimi live in Borea and western Yasteria.
 
===== Borean Kemonomimi =====
Borean Kemonomimi is considered to be in the Nekomimi branch of the Kemonomimi tree. Well they look traditionally Kemonomimi, their internal biology great differs from non-Borean Kemonomimi. Having a much shorter life span compared to the non-Borean counterparts, only living up 60 to 70 years primary due to [[Kemonomimi Genetic Immunodeficiency Disorder]] but has a much greater fertility rate. The animalistic parts of the Borean Kemonomimi tend to be much fluffier compared to most non-borean Kemonomimi , and often lacking human ears but this isn't always the case.
 
===== Kuduk Nekomimi =====
Kuduk Nekomimi are a subspecies of Nekomimi that inhabit small diaspora at the eastern coast of Kuduk. Similarly to the Peregrin Nekomimi, the classification of Kuduk Nekomimi is debated on whether they should be considered a subspecies or just an ethnic group. Physical characteristics that distinguish Kuduk Nekomimi are coiled hair, bushy eyebrows, and honey-colored skin.
 
===== Peregrin Nekomimi =====
Peregrin Nekomimi are a subspecies, or ethnic group, of nekomimi that inhabit Peregrinia. While it is disputed exactly what classification these nekomimi deserve, it is agreed that they represent a genetically distinct group. Marks of this genetic distinction include fair, almost pale skin, a proclivity for heterochromia, and hair that is often several shades of color from blonde to scarlet.

''Main article: [[Cava]]''
 
Cava are a species of bipedal therapods resembling corvids native to Aurora. Evolving from an arboreal climbing species descended from dromaeosaurs, modern cava first appeared in the fossil record 2 million years ago in the [[Ethaln Plains|Ethaln Plain]] and became the dominant sapient species on Aurora. Cava are tetradactyl, and possesshave digitigrade legs with anisodactyl feet. Cava possess a beak quite similar to corvids as a result of their omnivorous diet.

CavanCava produce speech organsusing their syrinx and are highly developedadept at mimicry, but their beaked anatomy causes difficulty pronouncing certain sounds in fast speech produced by lips and teeth common in human group languages. There exists little sexual dimorphism and the species is generally considered to be visually androgynous. The plumage of cava is typically dark, although natural variations of white, grey and blue in various patterns are present across the population, and they have a set of colourful crest-feathers on the back of the head. These feathers strongly reflect UV light which cavan tetrachromatic eyes are sensitive to.
 
Evidence suggests that for a brief period of time approximately 500,000-300,000 BCE some cava in modern Staynes had developed primitive agriculture before reverting back to hunter gathering for an unknown reason. This happened again around 100,000 BCE in Axdel, with some metal artefacts also recovered, with the reason for reverting back to a hunter gather lifestyle likely being cooling and glaciation forcing migration and a return to hunter gathering. Cava intermingled and shared a range with elven migrants to Aurora in approximately 200,000 BCE and later humans in 50,000 BCE, withboth theof latterwhich settled becomingprimarily increasinglyin the more dominantamenable oncenter and east of the continent. However, few if any Cava migrated north into Yasteria. Cava are found globally, but the majority are foundreside in West Aurora and South Arcturia, with sizeable minorities in Yasteria, the states of the [[PacificCerenerian Ocean]], and eastern Novaris. Some Cava are indigenous to Sempiterna, living in the sparse, snowy tundra at its most northerly points, making them the only sapient species native to the continent.
