Meet the predators and herbivores from Beastars

Predator with a Gentle Heart

Predator with a Gentle Heart is basically a walking contradiction, like a wolf who brings you tea. They look intimidating—sharp jaw, eyes that could stare down a boulder—but will pause to rescue a lost kitten or water a wilting sunflower (seriously). There’s this soft spot for quiet things: poetry, little sympathy naps, and apologizing too much, which is ridiculous but endearing. They struggle with instincts sometimes, yeah, and can be a bit clumsy when being tough, but their loyalty is brutal and honest. Also, they probably have a scar that people notice and a secret playlist of lullabies; can’t decide if that’s romantic or alarming, and that’s the point.

Herbivore with a Fighting Spirit

Herbivore with a Fighting Spirit? Absolute firecracker. They might braid flowers into their mane and then punch a wall (metaphorically? maybe literally—oops) because they refuse to be underestimated. Built from kindness and stubbornness in equal parts, they defend friends like it’s a sacred duty and get inexplicably loud about justice at 2 a.m. They train (kickboxing, parkour, interpretive dance training?) and also bake midnight pies to celebrate tiny victories; it’s messy and heroic. Honestly, their passion is contagious — you want them on your side, even if they sometimes confuse diplomacy with dramatic speeches.

Conflicted Predator

Conflicted Predator is basically a soap opera in fur. They’re sharp and charismatic but haunted—torn between old instincts and trying not to be a villain (yes, very dramatic internal monologues). They make impulsive choices, then stare at the moon and regret it, pacing like they were trained as a melodramatic playwright. Also, they collect tiny things for reasons even they don’t understand — a button, a pebble, receipts from bad dates — so weirdly sentimental. One minute they radiate danger, the next they’re blushing over a polite compliment; constantly keeps everyone on edge (including themselves).

Gentle Herbivore

Gentle Herbivore is the soul you’d hug and also let adopt all your plants. Soft-spoken, endlessly patient, somehow brilliant at listening and giving exactly the stupidly perfect little gift you didn’t know you wanted. They hate confrontation but will stand firm when it matters, like a willow tree that won’t snap—very stubborn in a cozy way. They have a surprising streak of competitiveness (board games? toddlers’ races?) and an uncanny ability to quote obscure comfort songs. Slightly scatterbrained about time and probably carries snacks for emergencies; calming presence but also occasionally mysteriously stubborn.

Struggling Predator

Struggling Predator is basically trying their best and tripping over their ambitions. They’re loud in all the clumsy ways—trying to look fierce but dropping their intimidating voice halfway through a sentence. They want to be respected and feared but also want friends, and those two goals keep bumping heads like awkward roommates. They mess up social cues (smiles that look like snarls, jokes that land wrong) but work on it, earnestly, with weird self-help books and late-night pep talks. Some days they’re unstoppable; other days they hide in a hoodie and knit, and honestly that contrast is what makes them strangely lovable.
