Borderline Little Bit Beastlies, Modern Anthros, or Hyper-Furries (17.5-30%)

Hyper-furry, which is the intermediate level between furry and animal attribute human, is an animal with extreme human features.  They have a completely human body and at least mostly human face, but has the animal's ears, nose, bill, or beak, and tail (if the species or character has one), skin, fur, feather, or scale coloring and markings.  Sometimes, they just have human skin, but still have the animal's markings and coloring.  The nose can either look completely like the animal's nose or look part like the animal's nose and part like a human nose.  Unlike furries, they don't have much of the animal's muzzle.  Their hands and feet may either feature pawpads and/or claws of varying degrees or bare palms and/or fingernails and toenails.  Their feet can be more animal-like or more human-like in basic shape.  Bird gijinka can have digitigrade bird feet like real birds or plantigrade feet like humans, but the legs are completely humanoid.  I like to call hyper-furries, uncanny valley furries because they tend to fall into what is called "uncanny valley."  

They wear clothes just like a human would but the type of clothes varies with each setting and culture.  In "modern" or science fiction settings and cultures, they will wear modern-day attire, while in fantasy or "native" settings and cultures, they might wear only a loincloth and jewelry, or even forego clothing entirely.
