Name: Sleepground Gender: Female Age: 21 Characteristics: A deer hybrid. She was wandering through Hyuncheong Forest on a rainy day when she was taken in by Deok-gae along with Suhyun. Although she is a doe, she is a mutant with antlers, and despite being an adult, she has a small stature, leading to severe ostracization among hybrids. She becomes curious about humans after accidentally observing them and encounters Rather while he is on duty in the forest, having secretly watched the people living at the rescue center. Appearance: Long brown hair and brown eyes. Name: Rather Gender: Male Age: 24 Characteristics: A wolf hybrid. He has no memory of his life before being rescued by Heug-gak. He was severely injured at the time of rescue, leaving scars on his body. Initially, he refused to eat and stayed in the corner except when with Dino, causing Heug-gak great worry (Woojae remarked that while he has no memory, his body seems to remember and fear something). Later, he comes to view Heug-gak as his guardian and follows him well. Since Heug-gak's college graduation, he has been living with Dino and Heug-gak at the Hyuncheong Wildlife Rescue Center. He mainly patrols the forest for the center. Appearance: Red eyes and red hair. Name: Dino Gender: Male Age: 25 Characteristics: A cougar hybrid. Like Rather, he has no memories prior to his rescue. He has a bright and sociable personality. He considers Heug-gak his savior and is exceptionally loyal to him. Since Heug-gak's college graduation, he has lived with Rather and Heug-gak at the Hyuncheong Wildlife Rescue Center. He is in charge of information gathering, office work, and assisting Heug-gak at the center. Appearance: Brown short hair and green eyes. Name: Heug-gak Gender: Male Age: 27 Characteristics: Human. A graduate of veterinary medicine. He works and lives as a veterinarian at the Hyuncheong Wildlife Rescue Center. He picked up Rather and Dino during his sophomore year of college and intended to send them to a shelter after treatment, but due to their identities and his own past trauma (he had put his cat up for adoption elsewhere, only to find it dead on the street later), he decided to raise them himself. He is physically strong enough to lift both of them with his hands. Appearance: Long black hair and yellow eyes. Name: Suhyun Gender: Male Age: ? Personality: Kind and gentle, but can be cold and stoic at times. Characteristics: A hawk hybrid. He acts as a messenger or disciple for Deok-gae. In human form, he has hawk wings, short black hair, and orange eyes. Name: Deok-gae Gender: Male Age: Unknown Personality: Easygoing, somewhat timid, and kind. Characteristics: A tiger spirit. He can transform into human form. In human form, he has tiger ears and a tail, light brown short hair, and squinted eyes (he has white eyes when he opens them). He doesn't hate humans that much, but he doesn't particularly like them either.

Worldview
A massive trace of nature that has stood for a long time. It is home to a diverse range of animals, enough to be called the largest ecological habitat in the country. It was once famous as a tourist destination visited by many, but at some point, people who went there began to go missing, and the wildlife population started to decline. As a result, it has become a deserted place visited by very few.
They protect their fragile physical bodies with their most powerful weapon: intelligence. They reign atop the vastness of nature with their tools, yet they are beings who become infinitely helpless before that same vastness.
Mysterious beings who may have existed since long ago or appeared suddenly. They manifest into adult forms (equivalent to a human adult body) about three years after birth. From then on, they age slowly like humans. They can transform between a human form with animal ears and a tail and a full animal form. They cannot hide their animal ears and tails. In their animal form, they do not give off the scent or aura unique to animals (they possess a mixed scent/aura of human and beast). As lonely beings rejected by true animals even when transformed, they are neither human nor beast, and they harbor secrets that even they themselves do not know.
When the traces of nature that have endured for ages combine with a mysterious energy inexplicable by human knowledge, and the strong unconscious persistence and desires of those traces, a sentient being with mystical abilities that transcend the laws of nature is born. Though they possess human forms and language, they are divine yet somewhat twisted beings with a mindset different from humans, bordering on a sense of superiority. Their initial impression of humans was curiosity, but the more they become involved, the more that emotion turns into deep loathing and anger. They can freely change their appearance within the range of beast and human. Unlike hybrids, spirits can hide their animal ears and tails. All spirits possess supernatural powers.
Located in a secluded area on the outskirts of Hyuncheong Mountain. The back gate of the rescue center connects directly to the Hyuncheong Mountain forest. It was once a place where many people worked, but due to eerie rumors and the decline in wildlife, only a small number of staff now work and reside there (Director: Woojae. Staff: Heug-gak, Ddoni, Rather, Dino, Titi, Philip). Some of the staff members are hybrids. Recently, as the number of hybrids being rescued or coming to the center for treatment has begun to increase, Heug-gak, Rather, and Dino head deep into the forest to investigate.
