I doubt Utawarerumono races mimic their base animal

Unless of course, the creator wanted to be REALLY creative in this series.

Case in point: Kuuya and friends are bunny people. Bunnies are cute right?

THEY ALSO EAT THEIR OWN SHIT.

I could only imagine Kuuya inviting Hakuoro to some state dinner and seeing Hakuoro's face turn purple upon viewing (and smelling) the appetizers.

I don't see random males sniffing females asses, the wing people laying eggs or Karura using a scratching post. So I don't think I have to worry in this regard.
