In the world of Beastars, animals understand each other largely through instincts, body language, smell, and clear predator–prey roles. Because of this system, a human could appear very confusing and almost emotionless to them. 👤🐺🐰

🧠 Humans Don’t Fit the Carnivore–Herbivore System

Beastars society is built on a simple biological division:

Carnivores → predators with hunting instincts

Herbivores → prey animals that are physically vulnerable

A human does not clearly belong to either group. Humans are omnivores, meaning they can eat plants and meat. To animals in Beastars, this would be extremely confusing.

Carnivores might ask:

“If humans eat meat, why don’t they hunt like predators?”

Herbivores might ask:

“If humans eat plants, why do they have predator eyes?”

Because humans are in between both categories, animals might not know how to emotionally respond to them.

👀 Human Facial Expressions Are Hard to Read

Animals in Beastars often communicate emotions through ears, tails, fur movement, scent, and posture.

For example:

Wolves show emotion with ear and tail movement.

Rabbits show fear through body tension and scent signals.

Humans lack these visible signals, so animals might struggle to understand what they are feeling.

A calm human face might appear blank or emotionless, even if the human is actually feeling something.

Characters like Legoshi—who already has difficulty reading social cues—might find humans especially difficult to interpret.

👃 Humans Have a Very Weak Scent

In Beastars, smell plays a huge role in communication. Carnivores can detect emotions like:

fear

stress

excitement

Humans, however, have much weaker natural scent signals than animals.

Because of this, carnivores might feel uneasy around humans. They would not be able to easily detect whether the human is:

afraid

angry

calm

This lack of scent information could make humans seem mysterious or emotionally distant.

🐾 Humans Don’t Show Clear Instincts

In Beastars, instincts are very visible.

Carnivores often struggle with predatory urges, while herbivores naturally show fear or caution.

Humans, however, rely more on logic and decision-making than instinct. A human might stay calm even in situations where animals expect strong instinctive reactions.

For example:

A human might calmly stand near a carnivore instead of showing fear.

A human might refuse to eat meat even if they can.

To animals, this could make humans seem unpredictable and strange.

⚖️ Emotional Control

Humans are also capable of hiding their emotions deliberately. In the Beastars world, animals often show emotions physically whether they want to or not.

A human who controls their facial expressions and behavior might appear:

cold

distant

unreadable

Characters like Louis, who values control and discipline, might find humans interesting for this reason, while others might feel uncomfortable around them.

🌍 Overall

A human in Beastars could seem confusing or emotionless because:

Humans don’t clearly belong to the carnivore or herbivore category

Their facial expressions are harder for animals to read

They produce very weak scent signals

Their behavior is often guided by logic rather than visible instincts

Because of this, many animals might see humans as mysterious, calm, and difficult to understand.🐺 How Carnivores Would Think About a Human

🔍 Curiosity

Many carnivores would be very curious about humans. Since humans don’t look like typical prey animals, carnivores might wonder:

Are humans predators?

Are they herbivores?

What do they eat?

Because humans have forward-facing eyes and upright posture, some carnivores might initially assume humans are predators like them.

⚖️ Respect or Caution

Some carnivores might treat humans with respect or caution. Humans do not have claws or fangs like carnivores, but they have hands, intelligence, and the ability to use tools, which could make them seem dangerous in a different way.

Characters like Legoshi would probably try to be careful and respectful, wanting to understand humans rather than judging them immediately.

🧠 Scientific or Social Interest

More strategic carnivores might want to study humans. They might ask questions such as:

How strong are humans?

Do humans hunt?

How do humans build their societies?

For some carnivores, humans might appear as an unusual predator species that relies on intelligence instead of physical strength.

⚠️ Possible Suspicion

Some carnivores might distrust humans because they are unfamiliar and unpredictable. Groups like criminal organizations or suspicious individuals might see humans as a potential threat or something to control.

🐰 How Herbivores Would Think About a Human

😨 Initial Fear

Many herbivores might feel nervous at first because humans look different from both herbivores and carnivores. Since herbivores already fear predators, they might worry that humans could also be dangerous.

Even though humans don’t have sharp teeth or claws, their forward-facing eyes and confident posture might make them seem predator-like.

🤔 Curiosity and Questions

After the initial fear, herbivores would probably become curious:

Do humans eat meat?

Are they friendly to smaller animals?

Why do humans not have fur?

Herbivores might want to learn about human culture, language, and technology.

🌱 Possible Sense of Safety

If herbivores discovered that humans do not naturally hunt animals with their bodies and rely mostly on tools or agriculture, some might begin to feel safer around them.

Characters like Haru might treat humans more openly, seeing them as another intelligent species rather than a predator.

⚖️ How Society Might Classify Humans

In the society of Beastars, animals might debate how to classify humans:

Possible ideas could include:

A new omnivore category

A tool-using predator species

A neutral intelligent species outside the carnivore/herbivore system

This could create major discussion and debate in their society.

🌍 Overall Reaction

If humans existed in the Beastars world:

Carnivores → Curious, analytical, and cautious

Herbivores → Nervous at first but eventually curious

Society → Confused about where humans fit in the carnivore–herbivore system

Humans would probably be seen as a very unusual species that doesn’t fully belong to either group.🏛️ How the Government Might React to Humans

In the Beastars world, society is very organized around the balance between carnivores and herbivores. Because of this, a human appearing would probably become a major political and scientific issue.

🔬 Scientific Study

The government would likely send scientists and researchers to study humans. They would want to learn things like:

What do humans eat?

Are humans carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores?

How strong are humans compared to animals?

How do human instincts work?

Because humans don't clearly belong to either group, researchers might classify them as a new category of species.

⚖️ Legal Status

The government would also have to decide how humans fit into the law. For example:

Should humans follow the same rules as carnivores and herbivores?

Are humans allowed to attend schools like Cherryton?

Should humans have special protections?

Political leaders might debate this issue, including figures like Mayor Lion, who already deals with the delicate balance between species in the city.

🌍 Social Impact

News about humans would spread quickly. Many citizens would be curious, while others might feel worried.

Some animals might see humans as:

a neutral species that could help reduce carnivore–herbivore conflict, or

a potentially dangerous outsider that could disrupt society.

Because humans rely heavily on intelligence and tools rather than natural weapons, they might be viewed as strategic thinkers rather than physical predators.

🌆 How the Black Market Might React to Humans

The Black Market in Beastars is a hidden district where illegal activities happen, especially the sale of meat to carnivores.

If a human appeared, the Black Market would probably react very differently from the government.

👀 Curiosity and Rumors

Criminal groups would likely become extremely curious about humans.

They might ask:

Are humans edible?

Are they strong fighters?

Do they have useful skills?

Rumors about humans could spread quickly among gangs and traders.

💰 Exploitation

Some criminals might try to capture or control a human because a completely unknown species could be valuable.

They might see a human as:

a rare curiosity

a potential worker or fighter

something that could attract customers or attention

Groups like the Shishigumi might initially observe humans carefully before deciding how useful or dangerous they are.

🧠 Strategic Interest

Some individuals in the Black Market might realize that humans could be very intelligent and adaptable. Instead of treating them as prey, they might try to cooperate with them.

Characters like Gohin, who works near the Black Market helping carnivores control their instincts, would probably be very interested in understanding how humans think.

⚖️ Overall Difference

Government reaction:

Scientific research

Political debate

Legal questions about human rights

Black Market reaction:

Curiosity and rumors

Possible exploitation

Interest in human abilities

You're such a strange girl

I think you come from another world.
