Halfworlder

Halfworlders are cybernetically and genetically modified animals created on Halfworld to be the caretakers of the Loonies.

Biology
Halfworlders were genetically and cybernetically modified into their current forms from a variety of animal species, including raccoons, pigs, otters, walruses, rabbits, deer, skunks, moles, turtles, and more, thus giving them incredibly varied appearances. Overall, Halfworlders are sapient anthropomorphic versions of whatever animal they were made from, normally standing at a short stature relative to Humans.

Culture and society
Halfworlders are primarily the caretakers of the Halfworld Asylum for the Criminally Insane. Tasked by the Halfworld robots with the care of the Loonies, Halfworlders served as security guards and therapists, with their "cute" appearances meant to calm the patients. The process of being converted to sapient humanoids left many thoroughly traumatized, and some would later leave Halfworld to wander the galaxy or becomemercenaries.
