| Both males and females are around 5½ feet tall, with females being less broad around the chest. Their bodies are covered with a soft layer of fur and often a short mane extends behind the head, which can hang as low as to the middle of the back. The coloration can consist of stripes, patches, or any number of solid colors. Unknown to many outsiders a kithkin’s exact pattern is dependent upon their birth tribe, as coloration is passed down to descendants. | Both males and females are around 5½ feet tall, with females being less broad around the chest.

| - | It is often the face that unsettles most people that have never seen a kithkin. Although they appear descended from human stock, their eyes are placed forward and their jaw extends outward, barely covering a deadly set of teeth. Their eyes tend to be colored from dark browns to light green. Bright yellow eyes are rare, and are seen as the kithkin as either a good or bad omen. | + | It is often the face that unsettles most people that have never seen a kithkin.

| - | They have short whiskers near their cheekbones and ears set high on their heads. This helps to provide a kithkin with senses of a born predator. Their legs are more similar to a cat than human. The length from the hip to knee is short, and the foot consists of just the ball and toes, with the "heel" part of the leg sitting about midway between the knee and the foot. Their gait is very distinct as they move in a way that seems foreign to any other race. This causes them some discomfort when moving around in a world full of things made for the other races. | + | They have short whiskers near their cheekbones and ears set high on their heads.

Kithkin have long fur-covered tails, some with a longer tuft of fur at the end. |

| Kithkin believe in carrying parts of their victories with them. A common practice is to make beads from some part of a defeated foe or prey. They wear the beads in their hair to gain some measure of strength from the fallen. | Kithkin believe in carrying parts of their victories with them.

| - | A kithkin hunts with bow or spear. The fletching's color changes to symbolize the event. Plain, drab fletching is used for hunting. Brightly colored fletching is used for the rites of passage and for raids. The kithkin also do have their own smiths, and they do have swords. Usually, only a very powerful warrior is gifted with a sword, but there have been swords taken as spoils in combat. | + | A kithkin hunts with bow or spear.
