 The race can be violent if pushed or bothered, they will strike, slash, peck and even bite back at the annoyance that kills them. Though there has been a millennia-long attempt at curving this aggressive streak. It will likely take time to get over their previous animal nature.  The King has attempted to create a Tribunal to handle all issues,

+Outside of the United Alliance of Neutral Systems, where distinctions are clearer, the perception of Animalians—beings descended from uplifted animals—can blur with that of genetically modified organisms (Genemods), especially in regions like the New Dusk Conclave. Here, where the boundaries between species and technologies are often nebulous, misunderstandings arise.
+Animalians, unlike Genemods, are the products of upliftment, a process where animals are genetically enhanced to possess human-like intelligence and abilities. This can range from simple cognition to complex linguistic skills and societal structures. The process of upliftment is both a scientific marvel and an ethical quandary, as it raises questions about the nature of consciousness, identity, and the relationship between humans and animals.
+In contrast, Genemods are creatures whose genetic makeup has been directly altered through genetic engineering, often for specific purposes such as enhanced strength, agility, or resistance to disease. While both Animalians and Genemods may exhibit extraordinary traits, the origins and implications of these traits differ significantly.
+The confusion between the two arises from the superficial similarities in their appearances and abilities. In places like the New Dusk Conclave, where experimentation and innovation thrive in a legal grey area, distinctions can become even more blurred. Here, hybrid creatures roam the streets alongside genetically modified organisms, and the line between natural and artificial life is constantly challenged.
