>>49229285I'm prolly dumb but I think there's a bit of a diff to humanoid monster/bipedal animal/humanoid animal.
humanoid monsters are like Blaziken/Chesnaught
Blaziken is subtle but it's literally a chicken that moved it's useless wings to it's head to form a 2nd pair of arms/legs for combat as Chesnaught is a rodent structured like a man with a bone carapace.
Bipedal animals, ie. Greninja/Samurott/Decidueye
these animal bases give leeway to their theme because it animal is already bipedal, the most monsterous trait here is decidueye's weird meaty finger feathers or aesthetic details that belong to nether animals nor humans..
The last are like Cinderace/Intelleon/Delphox
where being humanoid is the "monster" trait where Blaziken atleast grows 2 sets of talons and head wings to meet it's theme.
