The Caudomorph stands with a poise subtly different from human norm. Balance seems centered lower, as if the axis of motion includes the space behind. The tail — an elegant continuation of the spine, tapering to a smooth muscular tip — arcs in quiet counterbalance to every step. Vertebral segmentation is visible beneath the skin when it moves, a rhythm of motion as coordinated as any limb. The sacral region is broadened to anchor the musculature, but the figure remains proportionate, the tail an addition, not an appendage. When the individual pauses, the tail coils once around the ankles in a gesture that might be equilibrium or instinct. The surface bears fine, short hair, paler than that of the body, almost like down. It is anatomy rendered purposeful: a structure meant to complete motion rather than merely adorn it, proof that evolution favors grace when strength alone will not suffice. See more
