Scary Daddy Cat

So here's how the story goes:

A long time ago, in the early days of this world, something went boom—like, really boom!

Nobody knows what caused it, but it was the kind of explosion that made everything nearby go poof, leaving only a smoking crater and a whole lot of questions.

The unlucky ones closest to the blast were vaporized into oblivion, while the survivors were left to deal with the cosmic hangover. 

Some animals and plants didn't get the memo about staying out of trouble and were evaporated on the spot. But the ones that stuck around? They had to get crafty.

Evolution decided to spice things up a bit, and bam—mutations started popping off like crazy.

Some animals got a brain boost and evolved into something resembling humans but with a little extra flair: tails, ears, and a whole lot of attitude.

These new and improved critters became known as the beastmen.
