Large amount of DnD animal people "Wilderfolk" from a sketch session.

Wilderfolk are made 1 of 2 ways. They were either once an animal given Sentience and an upright stance by Magic, The Gods, or a Patron, or they were a person (usually assumed human) cursed (or blessed) into their shape by Magic, The Gods, or a Patron. Method of transformation doesn't entirely matter and Wilderfolk largely end up with a standardized appearance regardless.

The different group names are a courtesy, given to the Wilderfolk BY the Wilderfolk to build a sense of community. Some names are broader than others due to inconsistent naming conventions, but each group name is fairly consistent in telling you what to expect.
