| − | Raposa were drawn to life on the fourth year of creation, following the formation of their home planet. The first generation of Raposa, known as the Genesis Raposa, were created mature, with innate knowledge of language, culture, and basic survival skills. Among these shared traits, Genesis Raposa possessed unique aptitudes towards certain areas of knowledge. These aptitudes were used to further progress Raposa society and greatly aided generations to come. While it's disputed how many Genesis Raposa initially populated Neve, it is well documented that the original four villages were each founded by concentrated populations of Genesis Raposa. | + | Raposa were drawn to life on the fourth year of creation, following the formation of Neve.

| | All Raposa alive today are descendants of the Genesis Raposa. However, aside from basic instincts, Raposa are not born with the complex skills and aptitudes that Genesis Raposa possessed, and instead learn from their environment and peers as they grow. Further substantial differences exist between modern Raposa and Genesis Raposa—some of which genetic, such as chromosomal count—however the nature of these differences is not well understood. Nevertheless, some scientists propose classifying Genesis Raposa as a sub-species of ''R. Creaturae'', or vice-versa. | | All Raposa alive today are descendants of the Genesis Raposa.

| | + | Raposa are a bipedal species characterized by upright stature and unusually large, hooded, ears which aid in heat dissipation. Fur covers most of the body, with exception of the face and parts of the hands and feet where skin is seen instead. In mature individuals, a patch of white fur covers much of the torso. Other anatomical features are shared between sexes, such as short, dull, claws. These claws are flatter than those of other carnivorous species, and are likely an adaptation to aid in grip and dexterity control over hunting. |

| | + | Raposa vary significantly in overall appearance due to genetic and personal factors. In addition to this, Raposa are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism sexually dimorphic], meaning they display different characteristics depending on the sex of the individual. |
