=== Tieflings ===
Tieflings are thought by some anthropologists to have originated in central Concord and are found in north Gondwana, Borea, and western Yasteria. In terms of the [[Bipedaliforma|Unified Bipedalism Theory]], they belong to the species ''Primus buccinus''. Some scientists who subscribe to this theory have suggested that they should be moved to the tribe ''Caulidae'' with Nekomimi. They possess a variety of colors for their eyes, skin and hair, mostly verging on the standard human tones but also including the red-blue spectrum. Tieflings' most notable features are their horns, tails, and teeth. Tiefling horns vary in size depending on the environment and typically are shaped similar to ram's horns. Their tails are dexterous and on average are able to be used as an additional manipulating limb. The teeth of tieflings are extremely sharp and indicate a predator-evolution lineage. First appearing in the fossil record around 500,000 years ago, migrations around Concord and to other continents occurred as early as 350,000 and as late as 4,000 years ago. Tieflings have a shorter average lifespan than humans, though recent strides in medicine have been mitigating this.
 
== Anthropomorphs ==
Besides the hominid group, several other intelligent species have evolved on Urth; their only shared features are anthropomorphic body plans and physical resemblance to contemporary animal species.
 
=== Ailurines ===
Ailurines are a species of bipedal omnivores related to the mustelid red panda. NativeSome anthropologists believe that they are native to northeastern Yasteria. According to the [[Bipedliforma|Unified Bipedalism Theory]], ailurinesAilurines belong in the genus ''Kokkinopantis kokkinopantis'' with their closest relatives in terms of that theory being the [[Lutryne]]. Ailurines are small with height ranging from 4 ft 6 in (137 cm) to 5 ft 2 in (158 cm.) Thick fur covers most of their bodies and is most voluminous on the tail which averages a length of 2 ft 6 in (76 cm.) Dimorphism between the sexes is minimal with both males and females possessing similar colorations, patterns, and physiologies. Ailurines possess an excellent sense of smell and decent night vision, though they are primarily diurnal. Ailurine pregnancies last 7.5 months and result in 2-4 cubs. The average lifespan is influenced by environment and lifestyle but is around 80 years old for both genders. The current record for longest-lived ailurine is a female that reached the age of 108 years, 4 months.
 
Ailurines first appeared in the fossil record around 525,000 years ago and were known to inhabit the lands that today comprise [[Asendavia]] and Luthaiya. While distantly related and having evolved at roughly the same time, ailurines have been archeologically and genetically proven to be distinct from ursines. Conflicts with ursines in their early histories resulted in large ailurine migrations north and south as well as east into Novaris. Current ailurine populations are significant in Novaris and northeastern Yasteria, though the species can be found in other regions of colder climate like southern Gondwana.
