So I've been thinking about all the different ways a faunus can have the traits of a single animal.

This could apply to birds and fish (and amphibians, reptiles and some mammals): The Nictitating membrane or "the third eyelid"

Birds use them during their high-altitude dives to clear debris and spread moisture across their eyes. Sharks use them to protect their eyes when they slam their pray to immobilise them. (They say you should hit the eyes of a shark to defend yourself. Well, sharks have shields on their eyes, so good luck.)

So a faunus trait could be a third eyelid. The faunus wouldn't flinch when they get hit in the face and they wouldn't have to cover their face at (weak) elemental attacks. Not the actual attacks, I mean more thie side effects, like a dust screen (where Neptune uded the goggles), snow/rain/hale storm, strong wind. Aura would shield their eyes like it would a random piece of skin. It would be like they're wearing goggles.

And hawk-eyed vision for birds. Obviously.
