This is the second page that I went back and added retroactively to fill out the first book. It made things more consistent with there being a Q&A page in between each chapter, and the topic fit with the overall theme of the first few Q&A pages of learning more about the world in which Aww, Feathers! takes place.

While I wanted to allow for a wide variety of characters in the Aww, Feathers! universe, I still decided to impose some constraints. Those mentioned on this page mean there are no fish, insect, or dinosaur anthros, and that only anthro amphibians with lungs exist. In addition, while it hasn’t been spelled out on any page yet, anthros in the story have only four limbs, plus one tail total. That means that while anthro dragons, griffins, etc. may exist (types of hybrids, as explained in later Q&A pages), they don’t have a separate pair of wings from their forearms, but rather wings that are attached to their arms. There are also no anthros with multiple tails, barring some birth defect or random mutation.

Finally, while quadrupeds exist, they all tend to be roughly the same size as the bipeds, meaning all anthros fall within a certain distribution of sizes which, while it may vary from region to region, isn’t as dramatic as, say, the difference between a mouse and an elephant in the wild.

As noted however, while these anthro varieties may not exist in “real life” in the comic universe, that doesn’t stop its inhabitants of dreaming. After all, at the risk of stating the obvious, we humans invent fantastical creatures all the time!
