Caprinae
- Goats (Capra sp.)
- Sheep (Ovis sp.)
The Caprinae (singular and plural) are an Ancient race in the world of Arknights.
Description[edit]
Caprinae have curved keratin horns, perky or floppy ears, and short tails pointing straight up. They possesses regular physical fitness and reflexive nimbleness.[1]
A notable trait of the Caprinae is their superiority in Originium Arts compared to other Terran races beside the Sarkaz. As a matter of fact, many notable Arts users are mainly Caprinae. On the other hand, this has led to a stereotype by many people that they are mystic "harbingers" of said power. A theory suggests that their excellent Arts talent is born from a combination of both their physical characteristics and their nimbleness.[1] However, some of them cannot naturally use Arts due to their innate physique or any other birth defect, though they can possess unimaginable physical strength that supplements the defect.[2]
The Caprinae's love of their horns could lead to the point of even treating them as an aesthetic standard, which exceeds other horned races such as Fortes, Elafians, Ceratos, and even Sarkaz, with their physical differences between each other being a topic of discussion. In the Sarkaz' case, Caprinae can also be mistaken for them due to their horns and vice versa.[1][3] Consequently, there have been historical cases that many spies infiltrating Sarkaz communities or Kazdel are mainly Caprinae, though they can be immediately recognized through the unrecognition of the Sarkaz's collective deceased spirits.[4]
As one of the common races on Terra, Caprinae can be found all across the continent. Leithanien has the predominant population among all nations, and a large population of them can be found in its surroundings such as Victoria and Siracusa. As a matter of fact, it is said that Leithanien's love for arts and culture comes from the Caprinae themselves.[1] In fact, the musical culture of the Leithanian Caprinae is believed to be the origin of the Leithanian constitution, the Güldenesgesatz that mentally binds other nine tribes under their leadership.[5]
