BUT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!We know that Grimm are attracted to things with souls, and would aim to eat humans. If we then extrapolate and assume Grimm gain their animal motifs because that's what they've consumed before (lesser souls in the form of animals/wildlife) then the Faunus could have popped up shortly before the advent of Dust, in the form of super-strong Grimm who have eaten enough humans to gain a soul of their own and a human-ish form!

I would assume they would be able to reproduce because the amount of Faunus in the world, I suppose, rivals that of the humans. If what you say is true, that would mean a lot, a lot, a lot of dead humans. But, I feel like, if this theory were true, we'd assume Faunus either lose all kinds of memories prior to their 'birth' and that, after their initial transformation, are able to breed among each other. :o The only technical species that doesn't have to go through bouts of incest just to get their numbers at a stable rate. Lolololol.

EDIT: Maybe this could be like... a sort of... like... plot point? Or something? And then it's like... everyone looks at the Faunus in a worse light. D: Or maybe pepples are like, "We must hid dis." Would tear a considerable rift between team members and stuffs.

...What I REALLY wanna know is if there's a faunus for every animal imaginable...IF THERE'S A MANTIS SHRIMP KIND, WE'RE FUCKING DED. D.E.D. DEDYOU SEE THIS ROCK? HE COULD THROW IT THROUGH YOUR BRAIN MANG.But I mainly ask because cat faunus are a thing, but do they come in all the different species of cats? Callico, Persian, other cat types? MONTY, WE DEMAND ANSWERS, WHICH IS WHY WE DON'T ASK!

I doubt they come in that kind of sense. Mainly because most cat breeds or crossbreeds/muts and were bred specifically and for whatever purpose people deemed necessary. It'd be weird to have cat breeds relate to faunus 'cause that would rely on a lot of regulated breeding in general to get a "purebred" mut.

That doesn't make much sense though, because that would mean that Faunus were complete retards incapable of making their own kingdoms. In the Creation Myth, it stated that Humans were made from dust, and Grimm then followed. Then, HUMANS made their kingdoms...and where exactly were the faunus in all this?What if...they were originally Grimm who have regained their soul (think about how all the Grimm are based off animals)...THE MYSTERY IS REAL.

OMG

That Grimm thing makes so much sense. Even if that means Arara would distrust them even more.

...Seriously, if they were mules, then that means that beastiality was not only a thing, IT WAS A BIG THING! Get your head outta the gutter with that. Now, a more likely thing was that they were some sorta offshoot from human evolution, likely taking on traits of certain animals through evolutionary magic that DOES NOT work that way. But hey, it's Monty's setting, the beautiful thing about settings is that you could make air into jelly and it'd be alright as long as they breath jelly. Moral of the story: DAMMIT MONTY, LEARN TO BIOLOGY!

Dances With Wolves + Alien + CGI Display/Showcase = Avatar

Monty was probably just like Animals + Humans + Anime Stereotypes + Japanese Male Libido = Faunus ( I don't know why I compared this to Avatar, since it isn't even remotely relateable, especially since they probably hired people to do all the biology bits. @_@ )

EXACTLY. That's why Arara's so suspicious about them. Humans and Grimm were both mentioned in the Creation Myth, so what the hell are Faunus? Just another evolution of an animal? Except why is there such a massive variety of them?

Essentially, she sees them as sub-human mutants, or some advanced ape. Maybe Faunus were originally the creation of humans, which was why humans thought themselves as superior the first place.

Monty needs to clarify where they come from. D:

Maybe they were like... here before the humans and Grimm and were like hidden until a certain interval in time and humans were just like, "Amg, wat is dis? Subjugate and enslave!"

Well, going back to donkeys and horses, they are genetically compatible due to similar enough genes, so if we were to draw a real world comparison aside from that, we'd be pretty hard-pressed. Think of it like how Superman can have kids, even though he's not anywhere close to being human in terms of genetic code. It works because the setting says it does, and unless Monty gets into the nitty gritty, we might never get a definite answer.

Superman has like super.... you know what? I'm not gonna go down that road. @_@

How were the faunus even made? Like... are they technically mules in a sense?

The Irish Tree said
...Maybe it just works like Mules, where you get the best of both but the chromosomes for reproduction get all kinds of fudged up so they can't do the do?

That sounds legit. Awesome genes, 'cept can't reproduce. QQ The ultimate birth control.

Oh yeah, I've been wondering....What exactly happens when a human and a faunus have babies?

Ugh, that's weird. Because Faunus are like the middle ground between Furry/Anthros and Humans. @_@

Maybe they can't have bebes or they come out looking gross and deformed? D:

I dare say you'd need a doctor if both came out at once, I mean heck, that'd just be painful...We ARE talking about passing a kidney stone and peeing, right?

Gallstone and Kidney stone. Even if you can't really pass gallstones, I think...
