Beastmen

The Beastmen are one of the races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai.

Overview
Beastmen are often persecuted by humans because they are seen as monsters and are blamed for unusual happenings. Most Beastmen have been chased out of their homes and lands and have resorted to stealing for food to survive. When a beastmen child was sighted in the mountains, the knights of Ravens instantly mounted an expedition to "hunt" him.

Appearance

 * A humanoid body with the head, fur, and claws of a fox. They are more intelligent but physically weaker and fewer in number than other types of Beastmen. They are able to turn themselves into humans.
 * A humanoid body with the head, fur, and claws of a wolf. Grand Cross mobile game original Beastmen. It was briefly mentioned in the manga.
 * Werebear: A humanoid body with the head, fur, and claws of a bear. Grand Cross mobile game original Beastmen.

Powers and Abilities
They appear to be a strong race, with sharp instincts and great speed, being able to avoid most attacks. They also seem to have the ability to take human form and switch back to their original form any time they like.

However, likely due to their animal like nature, Beastmen seemingly have much shorter lifespans when compared to humans. Despite only being 65, an age many humans live well past, and having been a fairly strong Beastman, Zhivago still died of old age.

Trivia

 * In the manga, Meliodas and Liz went on a mission with the Danafor Holy Knights to hunt down a werewolf in the past. However, the creature itself doesn't appear at all.
