Animal? Like, you're half dog or something?

I'm half beast. So I guess that falls into 'something'. It was one of the requirements for me to be able to use my abilities. The man we killed was a "student" of another beast. Though the beasts that took us in hate each other and have lived a long war with each other. As well with some other beasts.
