Fauna Aspect

As a term, this refers to a form of ability or natural state of someone or something that likens it to a living creature.

For example, a totem pole with animal carvings is aspected towards fauna.

However, the primary purpose of this documentation is to cite it's frequency as an effect within Metahuman populations as well as cultural and social effects upon the user and those around them.

History

The image of the animal-man is a story as old as society itself; experts cite the oldest existing example of creativity was a sculpture of a man with a lion's head. Through history, wolfmen, werewolves, and others have remained prevalent in human culture and storytelling.
WIP: This is where the first documented case of a Fauna Aspect metahuman should go.

Cultural Reception

Due to the 'natural' sense of a being that turns into another living being, Fauna Aspected Metahumans are often compared to their animal totems, if only one is consistent. An aspect of a pig would put negative imagery on the afflicted individual, while traits of a tiger or wolf are generally seen as more favorable and impressive.
