        Correct. Wild Man spawned the Hsunchen off of the appropriate animal types. Even the Kralori can tell that the Hsunchen look like humans, and act like beasts. And that the Hsunchen are better off looking like humans than being beasts, and that they ought to attempt to educate themselves and graduate from slavish beasthood to a more highly evolved state. Even if they're _still_ beasts, deep inside. A tame dog is preferable to a feral one.

        Hsunchen are wild and ferocious animals. Broos are wild and ferocious animals. Aldryami are civilized, but potentially ferocious plants. Clearly broos and hsunchen are closer to one another than either is to Aldryami.
