Lynians (Japanese 獣人種) are a race of sapient creatures who are native to the land. There are currently only three known Lynian species: the cat-like species which harbor the Melynx and Felyne, the humanoid Shakalaka and the Uruki. They are intelligent, have complex societies, and use a language, although the Shakalaka are more primitive and barbaric, while the felid species tend to live peacefully in democratic societies. Before building more intensive relations with humans, they seem to already have their own civilizations. They can help human hunters during combat.
