Anthral

Anthral are a humanoid, animal-like species native to Aminus. Their biology is very similar to that of a human or a mage, but with a large number of animal qualities. They are sentient and have mental capacity equal to that of a mage. They are magically able, like mages, although the race produces far less archmages or powerful wizards, as their ability to do so is not quite as powerful or innate as the mages. They are mostly integrated into mage society, but most often hold lowly statuses as slaves or servants, or as peasants. In modern day times, anthral rights have been fought for vehemently, creating great progress, removing the slave trade from medieval times
