Faunus

Faunus are a race of humanoid people in the world of RWBY.

Description
Faunus look almost exactly like humans, except they share certain traits with animals. For example some Faunus will have rabbit or bear ears, as well as a pair of human ears. Some other Faunus will have horns protruding from their forehead. Faunus tend to be treated as animals by others and have since began to protest for their civil rights. Not much else is known about them at this time.
