The Lagosi (LaG-oh-sigh, Usagigengo: Lag-osi (nature children)) are a race of anthropomorphic mammals that are native to the small country known as Kame Island, located somewhere on.

Anatomy
The Lagosi appear to have physical traits resembling some non-sapient species, mainly rabbits and hares. In height, they stand above the one metre mark but never pass two metre mark. There is a distinct gender difference between the Lagosi, with males often being taller with less fluff while females will be slightly smaller in height with mammary glands and more fluff. Males and females will also have different facial traits. Aside from these gender differences, most Lagosi appear physically identical aside from colour and height. Due to this, they often identify each other through smell, with each Lagosi having their own unique scent. The fluff that often appears around their necks and chests increases as they get older.

Lagosi are an omnivorous species, often hunting and eating non-sapient animals near their homes or in the forests, though they are unable to digest raw meat. They also have a love for the fruits that grow on Kame Island, as the trees they grow from channel Source, often giving these fruits rejuvenating and empowering vitamins.

Lagosi are a fast and agile people, due to strong leg muscles and an increased sense of awareness thanks to their sense of sight and hearing. Some older Lagosi are also able to feel vibrations through the ground with the use of their hands and feet, thus being able to tell where a possible enemy is coming from. They are also good jumpers and climbers, as well as naturally being able to control at least a small amount of Source.

Psychology
Lagosi are an often calm and patient people, with a few exceptions. They are a mostly honourable race as they will never mock one's power or strength and dislike suppressing their own power and strength in serious fights. The personality of Lagosi clans vary, with some clans being more prideful in their artistic talents or literature rather than warriors and weaponry.

When Lagosi die, their corpses are often burned to ashes in order to prevent any chance of the undead rising to attack the population of Kame Island, which has been a problem for them before. The possessions of the deceased Lagosi are often given to their families or friends in rememberance. The passing down of blades from fathers to sons is a very traditional act in Lagosi society, as one's weapon is said to contain one's soul.
