Inu are a race of semi-humanoid Shiba Inu (Brushwood Dog), originating from the islands of Kara-Tur. Inu range from 3 feet to 5 feet tall, and their fur is usually of paler colors, between white and lighter browns. Inu have almost no features of humans and the exact same features as normal Shiba Inu, except that their back legs are adjusted in a way that allows them to walk upright. Inu have yet to develop proper thumbs or fingers, so either their tools are modified for their paws, or they rely on other races to help them with certain tasks.
