Bio: Bestiakin are anthromorphic creatures originally made from wild, feral animals and transfigured into humanoid beings through the Thaumological infusion of various aspects of the universe into their physiology, triggering the transformation from Animal to Beastiakin. This rare practice of performing this bizarre art of transmutation is commonly found amongst Gnolbolds, mainly ones who have settled for an agrarian lifestyle as opposed to the Hunter-gather lifestyle that the less culturally advanced of their kind live. Skilled Thaumologists who are confident enough to take the leap can also perform this process if given the appropriate amount of resources to do so to establish a 'Ranch' or 'Farm' that can yield a hefty sum.
Bestiakin are primarily utilized as a form of producing various items or as breeding partners in certain scenarios. It is common for animals such as Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Ferrets, Equines, Rabbits and Canines to be found as these beautifully transformed thaumaturgical beings, often accompanying a Gnolbold Colony's lair or a Masterful Thaumologist's home. There exists various branches under the aforementioned term which umbrellas the major seven types but I'll go into those individually with their own sections.
