The beastfolk in my campaign setting are alchemical creations called homunculi, or munmun as they call themselves. They're about 2 to 2.5 feet tall and can look like any land, water, or flying animal. They first appeared two centuries ago in the setting and struggle to find their place in the world.
They're a predominantly religious people who venerate their original creator as a goddess and that when they die they'll join her in the afterlife.
