What is it about pointy ears? For some reason, the fastest, most reliable way to establish someone (or thing) as not human is to give them unusually pointy ears. Whether it be elves, aliens, or stranger fare, having those ears point skyward is all it takes to knock them down (or up) a peg. The size, shape and length of the ears can vary, and this affects the nature of the species they're on. Normal ears with a slightly pointy tip? Probably an alien or an elf, but might be a demon or even a vampire, so be on your guard. Long and tubular pointy ears that are a bit ratty? Then it's a filthy monster/mutant that is Always Chaotic Evil and must be purged with flame. Dog or cat-like ears that move, with tufts of fur? Probably a Beast Man or Wolf Man, back away slowly without making eye contact. Or perhaps long, gracefully arching ears? Then they're obviously elves or something far above mere human, and must be treated with respect and humility because they have all kinds of kickass magic and martial prowess. Here's a short list of these pointy-eared inhuman hobgoblins: Aliens, most prominently Star Trek Vulcans. Beast Men or part animal Half Human Hybrids, most prominently the Wolf Man and Fauns and Satyrs. Elves and Fairies, most commonly any of the J. R. R. Tolkien variety and its derivatives. Christmas Elves If they're also aliens, then you have Space Elves. Demons and Monsters, usually Orcs and Goblins. Vampires, especially those that Look Like Orlok. Mutants, as is the case of several X-Men like Nightcrawler. Note that pointed ears does occur in humans and is usually a symptom of Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, which makes a person appear 'elfine', makes them a little too overly social and friendly, and may have been the inspiration for elves. The origins of this trope in Western culture are rooted in depictions of faeries and demons across centuries, making monsters look horrific and unappealing, pointing out a connection with animals, and/or conveying that a character is uncanny and otherwordly. Perhaps the oldest use of pointy ears in supernatural creatures are the Fauns and Satyrs from Classical Mythology, debauched beings of the wild with animalistic features such as donkey or goat-like ears, and this trait influenced other imageries. Like many other fantasy tropes, however, it was only in the artwork of the Victorian Era in the 19th century that this motif became widespread, when elves and fairies were frequently seen with such a feature — possibly inspired by popular portrayals of beings like the folkloric figure Puck Goodfellow and the aforementioned satyrs, as in folklore, elves were actually not usually described to have unusual ears in specific, with their difference from humans often being more abstract and subtle —, especially in the arts of Richard Dadd and John Anster Fitzgerald. This trait carried on and became a convention in fantasy media, and later, other genres. A Sub-Trope of Unusual Ears. |

The imp Midna in Twilight Princess has strange long, jagged pointed ears. They seem fairly inflexible, and are longer in combined length than the rest of her head. They even look like they might even be sharp enough to give you a papercut. | |

Yellow Brick Ramble: In this comic-adaptation of The Marvelous Land of Oz (the second novel of the classic Oz series), most of the native-born Ozians have noticeably pointed ears. Most of them are also Ambiguously Brown, though their pointed ears make it clear that they aren't meant to be any particular real-world race. | |

The Vanguardians who play a minor role in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time seem to have a similar appearance.

It's also mentioned in the in-game dictionary that some Expellians started to develop pointed ears within the last four hundred years. Members of the Fellpool and Highlander races in First Departure have ears like this. Featherfolk, which are native to the same planet, do not (though they are Winged Humanoids). Myuria Tionysus, and the entire race of Morphus in the game Star Ocean: The Last Hope exhibit extremely long ears, sticking out at an impossible angle. This is implied to be because they are an offshoot of the Nedians. The Eldarians also have very Vulcan-like points. |

Dragon Age elves obviously have them; many characters refer to them as "knife ears" for it. Kossith have slightly pointed ears as well, but as the majority of them are also Qunari and tend to be seven or eight feet tall with horns, most people either avoid them entirely or find other things to comment on besides their ears. | |

Demons in the Disgaea series look almost exactly like humans in varying degrees, but the one common distinctive trait they all have pointed ears. Except for Adell, who had a birth defect that led him to have rounded ears, which combined with his birth parents leaving him in the care of a human couple at a young age caused him to forget that he actually was a demon. | |

X-Men: Nightcrawler has pointy ears. Given his overall demonic appearance, it's something of a surprise that he doesn't have horns. Betsy Braddock's latest body as Captain Britain, a reversion to her natural form, is sometimes drawn with ever so slightly pointy ears. This may have something to do with the fact that her father was from Otherworld. |

Tales of Berseria: Magilou is an Ambiguously Human witch with sharply-pointed ears. A set of larger pointy ears that stick outward are a cosmetic item, and the description species Magilou is not an elf (which don't appear to exist in this setting). Her backstory, where she was exhibited as a child in a freak show, suggests Magilou's ears are less a racial trait than an individual mutation along her high affinity for magic. | |

Fire Emblem: The Manaketes generally have these in their humanoid forms. Half-breeds sometimes inherit them, but not always. Bird and dragon Laguz in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn have pointed ears in their humanoid forms. The Avatar of Fire Emblem Fates has pointy ears thanks to being the child of a dragon god. Their canon child, Kana also has them. Certain routes in Fire Emblem: Three Houses reveals the archbishop Rhea has pointy ears she keeps hidden behind her hair. Right before the time-skip she transforms into a white dragon. Fittingly, two other character's closest to her, Seteth and Flayn are also revealed to have them in concept art, likewise hidden behind her hair. Sothis also sports pointy ears being the progenitor of Rhea, Seteth, and Flayn's people, unlike the former three, Sothis's ears are always visible. It's even implied Byleth's mother may have had pointy ears, being a homunculus close of Sothis, had them too. Each CGI still has her ears covered by her hair, and the only time they're visible her hair still keeps the full shape hidden. |

While the Gerudo have regular ears in Ocarina of Time (per the official art), the ones in Breath of the Wild have ears just as pointy as the Hylians' and Sheikah's. The official explanation is that they've grown closer to the gods, though it's suggested that generations of interbreeding with Hylians was another (possibly related) factor. Notably, when the new incarnation of Ganondorf appears in Tears of the Kingdom, he does not have pointy ears — and when we see flashbacks to the ancient Gerudo when they were ruled by him, they didn't have them yet either. | |

Tales Series: Tales of Symphonia, all elves and some half-elves have pointy ears. the ears of the elves are pointier however, much to the disfavor of the half-elves. It seems to vary by the individual: although none of them have ears as pointed as the elves, Botta's are quite tall, Kvar's rather shorter, and Yuan's are perfectly rounded, just to name a few examples. Raine and Genis deliberately style their hair to cover their ears to hide the lack of points. Tales of Berseria: Magilou is an Ambiguously Human witch with sharply-pointed ears. A set of larger pointy ears that stick outward are a cosmetic item, and the description species Magilou is not an elf (which don't appear to exist in this setting). Her backstory, where she was exhibited as a child in a freak show, suggests Magilou's ears are less a racial trait than an individual mutation along her high affinity for magic. |

Ryoko in Tenchi Muyo! has long, pointy ears... without the points. Along with Mihoshi, though hers are more subtle. This being the only time the word "subtle" can be applied to Mihoshi. Long and kinda squared-off ears are a common visual shorthand for Human Aliens in Tenchi Muyo! world. Most off-world characters have them, unless they're from Jurai or Seniwa (Juraians have normal ears, since they're basically just a different race of humanity with some artificial enhancements; Seniwans like Mihoshi have much smaller traditional pointy ears and Cute Little Fangs). And Wau, of course, have nekomimi. |

Taerel Setting: Both the Zu'aan and the Kin'toni have these in many of the lore pieces if it is mentioned at all. For the zu'aan, their pointed ears are nearly perpendicular to the skull and cheekbones and the kin'toni have varying ears, such as the Meullton kin'toni who have ears that stick outward and are three to three-and-a-half inches in length with a "pointy edge", the Hathdani Kin'toni Clan and the A'voreld Kin'toni Clan who are mentioned as having pointed ears. It would probably be easier to list the examples that avert this trope than play it straight. | |

Most of the human-looking demons in Inuyasha have pointed ears to establish their inhuman status, most notably Shippo, Kagura, K�ga and Lord Sesshomaru. The sequel Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon reveals that most half-demons tend to have round ears like humans. But some of them also have pointy ears. Setsuna and Towa also have round ears, but when they transform into pure demons, they also get pointed ears. |

Fanworks set in Middle-earth mention the pointy ears of elves far more often than J. R. R. Tolkien's original books. In some fan stories, characters identify elves by their ears. An elf might disguise itself as a mortal man by covering its ear tips. (Tolkien does not use the ears. In The Lord of the Rings, characters can identify elves by hearing their voices.) In A Far Green Country, Nellas covers her ears. Some other characters see through the disguise and know that Nellas must be an elf. In The Games of the Gods, Rachel covers her elf ears and passes as a mortal woman. Most people suspect nothing, and accept Rachel as an uncommonly beautiful human. Rachel's elven voice raises no suspicion unless she sings too much. Home with the Fairies has Maddie finding creatures that might be elves, fairies or nymphs. Maddie needs a glimpse of pointed ears (hidden under hair) to decide that they are elves. |

The Order of the Stick: Given the limited art form, the only kind of ears at all visible are Pointy Ears (unless you're an animal). True for elves, goblins, hobgoblins, sylphs, and a few others. Mocked with Pompey, a half-elf, who has a pointy ear… on only one side. This is also the reason Half-Elves won't ever feature more prominently in the story. The Giant just can't take them seriously. |

Eternal Sonata: March and Salsa's actual ears arch out to the side. (They also wear things in their hair that seem intended to evoke bunnies.) They're not explicitly called elves, but the idea is the same. Although you're also nice to March because, in addition to being able to mop up the floor with enemies like her sister Salsa, she's just so sweet that you'd come off as a jerk to treat her otherwise. | |

Warcraft and World of Warcraft: Mainly the Blood Elves and Night Elves. Their ears are so long and pointy that they extend past their head, making them the best example for this trope in Western video games. The same applies for the ears of the later Nightborne of Suramar (which use a body model close to the Night Elves) and the Void Elves (originally High Elves like the Blood Elves, they ended up imbued with Void energy). Elven rangers in Warcraft II had neat slightly pointed ears of roughly human size... in artwork and character portraits. The actual sprite has those huge flapping sheets. Of course, with such small figures running around the screen, the excessively long ears might been simply a way to say 'elf' at that resolution. Warcraft III, however, has both units and character portraits in 3D, and as a result, the elongated ears have snuck back into portraits and became canon. Troll males have elongated ears, while females have theirs shortened as a part of enhancing the Cute Monster Girl appeal. Goblins and orcs have a more humanlike ear shape with a slight point. Alien race Draenei have almost human-like ears slightly pointed, though theirs evoke the stern Spock feeling. Worgen have these for a different reason, due to their being lupine in appearance. Other Beast Men such as tauren and pandaren avert this as their animal counterparts don't have pointed ears either. |

Marvel Universe: The shape-shifting Skrulls have pointed ears as part of their default appearance. Depending on the individual (and/or the artist), they can be anything from just slightly pointy to huge and bat-like. Alpha Flight: Northstar and Aurora have slightly pointy ears (though sometimes artists forget). One story claims that it's because their mother was a Norse elf, but that story was unceremoniously disposed of later on; apparently, their ears are just like that. Marvel Noir: In Iron Man Noir, this is the mark of Captain Namor's pirate crew; they slice their ears to resemble shark fins. Morbius: Initially, Morbius did not have these, but later artists started adding them after which they quickly became a standard part of his appearance. Sub-Mariner: Namor, a Half-Human Hybrid of man and mermaid, has these. X-Men: Nightcrawler has pointy ears. Given his overall demonic appearance, it's something of a surprise that he doesn't have horns. Betsy Braddock's latest body as Captain Britain, a reversion to her natural form, is sometimes drawn with ever so slightly pointy ears. This may have something to do with the fact that her father was from Otherworld. |

In Slayers, Elves, such as Memphis, have the classic small, pointed ears, although Mellyroon, an Elf from a Non-Serial Movie, inexplicably has bigger ears. On the flip side, Brau Demons have large, grotesque pointed ears. Zelgadis, a chimera, has decent-sized elfish ears because a Brau Demon was implanted into his genetic makeup via magic. Filia Ul Copt (a gold dragon who is usually in human form) is also revealed to have these in some official art◊, although most of the time you can't see them because of her hood with large green orbs on the sides. Other members of her race, while in human form, also have them. However, Milgazia of the Golden Dragon clan that serves the Water Dragon King in Dragon Valley and keeper of the Claire Bible however, has rounded ears in human form. His draconic true form is hinted at instead in the shape of his eyes and pupils in anime, manga and novel art. |

The Zentraedi of Macross have these, with Zentraedi/Human hybrids sometimes expressing these in later series. A Retcon as Zentraedi from the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross series had normal ears, but after Do You Remember Love? depicted its Zentreadi with pointed ears, the convention was picked up by later Macross productions. The Zolans in Macross 7 Dynamite have even more extreme pointed ears. |

The villain of the Book of Esther, Haman, is never described as having pointy ears, but will often be drawn that way in modern times. This is because a traditional treat for Purim (the Jewish holiday based on these events) are triangular cookies, called oznei Haman ("Haman's ears") in Hebrew. Their Yiddish name is hamantashen, "Haman's hat," which is why he's often depicted with a tricorne. | |

Berserk: Elves are traditional depictions of fairies that have pointy ears. Oddly, the main character and roughly half the cast (including extras) early on have ears that are pointy to a lesser degree, despite being entirely human. There is no explanation for this in-story; it may just be artistic or some weird way some people from Midland are different from people in real life, but that doesn't explain the lack of new characters with pointy ears. It may simply be because the author's style has shifted, and he decided to keep Guts' ears as symbolic. |

The Legend of Zelda: Hylians are distinguishable from regular non-Hylian humans (such as the Holodrumians, Labrynnans, and Ordonians) by their pointy ears. They don't exactly fall towards the lower measures, though; not only are the franchise's two main heroes, Link and Zelda, always Hylians, but the Kingdom of Hyrule itself is Hylian-dominated. However, in most games, where Hyrule is an empire controlling several regions, Hylians tend to be a minority. According to this interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, this was inspired by Disney's Peter Pan. It's mentioned in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past that the big ears are so Hylians can "hear the voices of the gods." Notably, in Ocarina of Time, Ganondorf's ears go from normal to pointed after obtaining the Triforce of Power, despite him being Gerudo, not Hylian. Early in The Wind Waker, Ganondorf orchestrates the kidnappings of several pointy-eared girls. Because Hylians are rare in this game, and Zelda is a Hylian and likely in disguise, by sending his minions to look for elf-eared females he stands a decent chance of nabbing her. Unfortunately for him, Link and his sister are also Hylians, and the latter's kidnapping kicks off the adventure. The bird-like Rito in The Wind Waker have noticeably pointy ears. The Kokiri also have pointed ears, as do the Sheikah. Both of these are required from a storyline perspective, as in Ocarina of Time Link thought himself a Kokiri and Zelda pretends to be a Sheikah. They have other traits, however, that set them apart, such as eternal childhood for the Kokiri and red eyes for the Sheikah. In Majora's Mask, even the monkeys have similarly long ears. The Minish Cap features the mouse-like Minish, who have extremely long, pointed ears. The imp Midna in Twilight Princess has strange long, jagged pointed ears. They seem fairly inflexible, and are longer in combined length than the rest of her head. They even look like they might even be sharp enough to give you a papercut. Demon Lord Ghirahim of Skyward Sword has only one pointed ear in his normal form; the other, rounded, ear is hidden under his hair. His final form does have both ears pointed. While the Gerudo have regular ears in Ocarina of Time (per the official art), the ones in Breath of the Wild have ears just as pointy as the Hylians' and Sheikah's. The official explanation is that they've grown closer to the gods, though it's suggested that generations of interbreeding with Hylians was another (possibly related) factor. Notably, when the new incarnation of Ganondorf appears in Tears of the Kingdom, he does not have pointy ears — and when we see flashbacks to the ancient Gerudo when they were ruled by him, they didn't have them yet either. |

Tales of Symphonia, all elves and some half-elves have pointy ears. the ears of the elves are pointier however, much to the disfavor of the half-elves. It seems to vary by the individual: although none of them have ears as pointed as the elves, Botta's are quite tall, Kvar's rather shorter, and Yuan's are perfectly rounded, just to name a few examples. Raine and Genis deliberately style their hair to cover their ears to hide the lack of points. | |

In Gargoyles, the titular species have these, though often they look even more unusual, almost like Ear Fins. Some members of the Third Race do as well, including Oberon, Titania, Puck and Banshee.

In Lineage 2 all races except the Humans have pointed ears. This is to show how the Humans were created as unintentionally inferior and flawed in the world's creation myth. The Kamael have pointed ears because they are genetically altered elves essentially created to be living weapons. Interestingly, Elves, Dark Elves and Fairies in the game have the standard anime-style jigokumimi while Orcs, Dwarves and Kamael ears only taper to more Vulcan-like points. The game's graphics don't render the point on Dwarf ears very well so they look round, even though official art depicts them with Tolkienesque 'leaf shaped' ears. |

The Phantasy Star series has Numans/Newmans, a genetically engineered race that resemble elves. In the original series, the ears were different between the two instances. In Phantasy Star II Nei and Neifirst have very long pointed ears that go past their heads. Rika in Phantasy Star IV has smaller pointed ears with bits of black on the ends. Phantasy Star Online's Newman race have differing ears depending on their class. Hunter Newmans have ears like Nei, while Forces have long pointed ears that stick out from the sides of their heads almost horizontally. In Phantasy Star Zero, Newman ears are much smaller, but still pointy. Phantasy Star Universe and its portable spinoffs, along with Phantasy Star Online 2, allow players to determine the shape of their newman's ears thanks to their powerful character creators. | |

The High Entia in Xenoblade Chronicles 1 are humanoids with Mercury's Wings who also have pointy ears. Quite are few of them are part Homs, and are (generally) distinguished by their smaller wings and lack of the aforementioned pointy ears. | |

The Elder Scrolls: The Races of Mer (Elves) possess the standard fantasy "Elf" version. The royal families of the Bretons (a race of Uneven Hybrid offspring of Man/Mer relations thousands of years ago) are said to still have slight points to their ears, showing their Mer ancestry. Some other non-Mer (at least, as far as we know) beings also possess pointed ears, including Giants, Goblins, Ogres, and Rieklings. Scamps are the weakest and smallest known form of lesser Daedra, and possess very long, triangular pointed ears in the Looks Like Orlok vein. |

Outsider: The Loroi are Space Elves with pointed ears, as well as blue to bluish-gray skin tones. Despite these features, one of the major plot points is that humans and Loroi are shockingly similar in appearance, in a setting where alien species tend to look radically different from each other, leading to questions about if humans and the Loroi species are somehow related. | |

The DCU: Legion of Super-Heroes: The shape-shifting Durlans, like Reep Daggle, have large pointed ears in their orange default form. Those who've been made unstable by the fallout from the Six Minute War have lost this form, and instead have an unsteady default that looks more like a bunch of writhing tentacles of variable coloration. Shazam!: Captain Marvel's greatest enemy and Evil Counterpart, Black Adam, has pointy ears for no adequately explained reason. Superman: In the story The Jungle Line, Clark Kent has pointed ears in one panel because of one mistake on the artist's part. Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman (1942): Older Saturnians have pointed ears, and little horns for the males, while young adult Saturnians are indistinguishable from humans. Wonder Woman (1987): The kreel have Pointy Ears with large convex incised helixes. |

Early in The Wind Waker, Ganondorf orchestrates the kidnappings of several pointy-eared girls. Because Hylians are rare in this game, and Zelda is a Hylian and likely in disguise, by sending his minions to look for elf-eared females he stands a decent chance of nabbing her. Unfortunately for him, Link and his sister are also Hylians, and the latter's kidnapping kicks off the adventure. | |

In Fate/Grand Order, Medea, Circe and Semiramis all have pointy ears. No explanation is given, but it's presumed that this is a trait of magi from the Age of Gods. Though why this would be the case only for female magi and not, for example, the Caster version of Gilgamesh is unclear. Elizabeth Bathory also has pointy ears most likely due to her alleged Dragon Ancestry. Her grown-up self, Carmilla, does not have these due to having more emphasis on her vampire-like image. | |

Touhou Project has an... interesting history with this trope. Basically, ZUN can't draw ears, and usually hides them behind hair or hats. When he does draw them they turn out pointy regardless of whether they probably should. The first character to get ears, Parsee, is widely accepted as having Pointy Ears in fanon, and has had them semi-canonized by Touhou Ibarakasen ~ Wild and Horned Hermit... The next, Orin, is a Cat Girl, so the fandom mostly pretends that she only has cat ears.note Her portrait had two sets of ears. Then Double Spoiler ~ Touhou Bunkachou gave ears to its Tengu protagonists, leading to something of an uproar in the fandom. Now some fans have decided that all youkai have Pointy Ears, others stick with them for Parsee and the tengu, and the rest just stopped caring. Even more strange for Parsee since the hashihime youkai is the vengeful spirit of a cheated human housewife... |

The elf-like inhabitants of whatever world the Jak and Daxter series takes place on have exceptionally long ears, with a total "ear-span" that is usually three to four times the width of their faces. Subverted in that the ears are not used to indicate anything supernatural about them - they seem to just be quirky-looking humans, and have been referred to as humans on more than one occasion. | |

The diminutive Lalafell also have large ears, which tend to be pointier on Plainsfolk Lalafell, who possess sharper hearing than their Dunesfolk counterparts.

Elves in Record of Lodoss War, Those Who Hunt Elves, Rune Soldier Louie and many other imitators of Lodoss. Dwarves, such as Ghim, have smaller, less pointy ears that look a bit more humanoid. Lodoss War was the Trope Codifier for "jigokumimi" on elves; that specific style of long, tapered ear bled into every following depiction of elves in Japanese media and even into a large number of Western productions, most notably Warcraft. |

Hylians are distinguishable from regular non-Hylian humans (such as the Holodrumians, Labrynnans, and Ordonians) by their pointy ears. They don't exactly fall towards the lower measures, though; not only are the franchise's two main heroes, Link and Zelda, always Hylians, but the Kingdom of Hyrule itself is Hylian-dominated. However, in most games, where Hyrule is an empire controlling several regions, Hylians tend to be a minority. According to this interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, this was inspired by Disney's Peter Pan. | |

Certain routes in Fire Emblem: Three Houses reveals the archbishop Rhea has pointy ears she keeps hidden behind her hair. Right before the time-skip she transforms into a white dragon. Fittingly, two other character's closest to her, Seteth and Flayn are also revealed to have them in concept art, likewise hidden behind her hair. Sothis also sports pointy ears being the progenitor of Rhea, Seteth, and Flayn's people, unlike the former three, Sothis's ears are always visible. It's even implied Byleth's mother may have had pointy ears, being a homunculus close of Sothis, had them too. Each CGI still has her ears covered by her hair, and the only time they're visible her hair still keeps the full shape hidden. | |

While he's not yet been seen in the games, the Metroid manga featured a pointed eared alien named Kreatz who was on Samus's squad back in her federation days. Kreatz and his partner Mauk (a hairy pig alien) were clearly designed to be shout-outs to the two founding extraterrestrial members of Star Trek's Federation, the Vulcans and the Tellarites. Interesting because the races' personalities were inverted for Kreatz and Mauk (Kreatz's species being the insulting violent one and Mauk's being proud intellectuals but assumed to be warriors due to their appearances). | |

Actually a plot point in RPG World as far as the early strips when Hero encounters Cherry. Keen-eyed viewers will note her ear being misshapen though likely to just brush it off as part of the early art of the series and, curiously, she keeps them hidden behind her hair past that point. Later on however when the protagonists are making their way through a forest and get ambushed by elves. The one leading attack exposes her as a elf by pointing out her pointed ears. | |

Given the limited art form, the only kind of ears at all visible are Pointy Ears (unless you're an animal). True for elves, goblins, hobgoblins, sylphs, and a few others. Mocked with Pompey, a half-elf, who has a pointy ear… on only one side. | |

Oddly, the completely human Kaseki from Dr. STONE has slightly pointed ears. None of the other humans do, at least the ones whose ears aren't covered by their hair. | |

In Artemis Fowl, fairies have this; some races, like elves and pixies, are pretty much indistinguishable from humans aside from this and their height. In the fourth book, Opal Koboi has her ears surgically altered so that she can assume a new life as a human child. | |

In The King's Beard, fairies naturally have them (and Sophie briefly loses hers, which become rounded and human-like, when Jasper drains her wand). After the power of the wand starts corrupting Jasper, his ears mutate into even more distinctly inhuman ones that look almost like fins or bat-wings. | |

Everyone in Chirault has really long, pointy ears. In the words of the author, this is "for no adequately explained reason other than that this is not Earth, so why not?" Also, they're a Shout-Out to Jak and Daxter. | |
