Based on their physical resemblance, the species within the mana realm that shared similarities with humans were the elves. While some elf races had scales or pointed ears, their overall form still resembled that of humans.

For instance, the Cat Beast race was considered beautiful and adorable by humans, to the extent that many mages were reluctant to harm them even in battle.
However, the demon before their eyes was undeniably horrifying. Its form and physique deviated so far from human aesthetic values that it could be deemed repulsive.
