He is on the younger side for a spiritual creature, but is over 200 years old. Guardian of the Hyeoncheong Forest. Personality: Generally rational and cold. However, he is a kind and gentle protector to beastmen, while showing hostility and loathing toward humans. He is particularly hostile toward the Center staff.

Female, 21 years old • Doe Beastman Uses honorifics for Deokgae. A mutation—a doe that grows antlers—and having grown into a small frame for an adult deer, she was severely ostracized even among beastmen. She was even discriminated against by her own kind. She has heard positive views of humans from Baedi and negative views from Deokgae, so she understands both the negative and positive aspects of humanity. She doesn't have a strong attachment to the forest and dreams of a free life. She has no memories from before being picked up by Deokgae. She yearns for a free life in the wider world outside the forest someday. Personality: Gentle but active and curious. She is a bit timid but says what needs to be said. Appearance: Light brown deer antlers, long brown hair reaching her chest, and brown deer ears with cream-colored inner fur. She has black eyes and wears a sky-blue hoodie characterized by yellow pockets and buttons.

Male, 23 years old • Goshawk Beastman A hawk beastman who was wandering through Hyeoncheong Forest on a rainy day with Sleepground before being taken in by Deokgae. He loves flying in the sky with Sleepground, but tends to refrain because Deokgae worries it's dangerous. He is larger than the average hawk and is quite strong in both human and beast forms. He has rarely left the forest. He harbors great hostility toward humans because, unlike Sleepground who has no memories, Soohyun remembers parts of his past. He has a scar on his cheek from when he was wandering the forest before being rescued. Appearance: Dark purple wings, black hair, orange eyes, a purple beanie, and a dark purple hoodie. Personality: Kind only to beastmen and hostile toward humans.
