Appearance and Physiology
Appearance
The Aera are tall: over 5’8” is usual before the ears, and the ears are enormous, tufted and shaped like a hare’s. Most Aera have muzzles or demimuzzles, short brush tails like a fox or wolf, and some number of them have winged ankles. The rationale behind the winged ankles was never fully discovered; the Pelted assumed it to either be decorative or a genetic experiment (“Who can graft on the most useless modification” is a common remark). As the Aera have reproduced naturally, fewer of them have the winged ankles (leading to “who can graft the most useless modification that also fails as a heritable trait” comments—the Pelted can be caustic about early Terran experiments). This has generated an endless range of fashion trends in shoes depending on who’s mimicking whom at the time. They stand plantigrade and have the five fingers/toes and nails of the humanoid stance. Coat patterns tend toward the canid, with a light ventral and dark dorsal, and many Aera have “points”. The colors are often more vivid than a Terran animal’s, and no one’s sure where those colorations stemmed from. (copy/pasted from The Peltedverse Guidebook)[1]
Physiology
The ankle-wings sound like a recessive trait of some sort.
