Quasi-humans

"Quasi-humans", in the Killdeer-verse, is a designation for "animals that look like humans but really aren't", according to Starsong.

The Aelur, a race of anthrofelinoids, were referred to as quasi-humans, but were not, being rather "humans that looked like animals but really aren't". Aelur (or "Lurans", as they were called on Moria) might have catlike features, but as their interfertility with humans proves, they were not quasi-humans, but considered truly human. (And, as Killdeer itself proved, the origin of the Aelur was genetically modified humans.)
