Editing Hengeyokai (section)

==Monstergirls==
It goes without saying that hengeyokai are actually pretty classic [[monstergirl]]s, with many real-world myths revolving around them assuming the form of sexy human women for a night of fun or even to score themselves a cute human husband. Of course, some of those stories also depict them as seductive predators who eat their would-be lovers, either before or after the sex, but that ''is'' why they call them '''monster'''girls.

Precise behavior will depend a lot on which type of hengeyokai you're actually dealing with, and even then, there's often a certain amount of fluidness - kitsune, for example, can be anything from free-wheeling hedonistic party-girls to enigmatic seductresses to playful pranksters. The most common trait is that the hengeyokai will usually be desperate to hide what she is at first, often because she's scared that the guy will freak when he learns she's really a cat or a weasel or whatever.

Appearance, likewise, is heavily fluid; a hengeyokai can appear as anything from a human with some "symbolic" traits of their animal form to the classic "girl with animal ears and an animal's tail" to a full-on [[beastfolk]]. Add in their shapeshifting abilities, and things get more complicated. There is a slight tendency to give them three forms; human girl with animal symbolism, girl with beast ears & tail (which the Japanese call "kemonomimi") and either female animal or female beastfolk. Four-fold or five-fold shifters are very uncommon.
