rdKitsoo
If you see one bearing the Mark of the Beast, then you know that you’ve crossed paths with a kitsoo.  In their humanoid form, kitsoo are distinguishable by the light tufts of fur they develop over the course of their lives.  These beings can shapeshift into their animal form. While Canine or Feline kitsoo are the most popular, there are other variants of kitsoo such as, but are not limited to bear, bunny, horse, bull, and elephant.  These beings can blend into your party easily due to them being able to traverse in their animal form. Some might not even look at you twice due to them just thinking you are just a Pet. This can work out to your benefit for sure!
