shintuu are a small, companion-type monster who resonate with their owner's soul
they always have either front OR back hooves, 4 ears and a feline-like face

shintuu are frequently used as emotional support companions due to their calming auras and clinginess. shintuu also may transform into a bigger beast form to carry their owners about on their backs. they can stay in beast form for as long as they wish.

depending on their owner, a shintuu can become corrupted, causing a mess of different mutations (horns, spikes, cloven hooves and fangs or tusks. there can be many many more)

shintuu gain their markings as they resonate souls with their owners/caretakers. if a shintuu is no longer wanted by their owner, they will die unless immediately taken in by someone else. that will cause their colors to change and resonate with their new owner's soul. the colors may change, but the markings will always be the same.

shintuu are a close species for NOW, they may become open later on when i create more information for them.
they're very special to me, please dont make one of your own; ask me to make you one if you seriously want one that badly.
