Well, Myau's ears tend to vary somewhat depending on the artwork so it's a bit hard to tell.

Yes, I've seen pictures of him as a normal cat, then with slightly longer ears, and the final winged version.

Of course the last one doesn't count, but I always thought it showed his stages of change when he ate the nuts.. or berries..

I remember seeing it somewhere...

I think I found some clinching evidence that Musk Cats were involved in Numan DNA: there are two enemies exclusive to Climatrol that are Cat/Human half-breeds: Cat Fangs and Cat Eyes. Those two don't appear anywhere else in the game. I think it's a bit of foreshadowing/undercurrent Sega put in the game, seeing as Neifirst is in Climatrol. :hyper:

You're forgetting about Cat Man that appears on Uzo. I also believe that Cat Man also shows up around Kueri, though I'm not sure. I'd have to play through again to check.

IIRC, the Compendium said something about Nei's original design having a tail, too. It was left out when her battle graphic was made, so it wound up being removed entirely.

Yeah, I thought about mentioning Cat Man, who appears first at Uzo, but I didn't mention them since I can't remember if there are any in Climatrol or not. Now that I think about it, there might be some Cat Men on the first couple of floors of Climatrol.

You're right. I'd forgotten that I'd read that before. I'm glad they didn't give her one! :yes:

A musk cat was planned to be part of Eusis party in Phantasy Star II, but in the end they decided to create a new character - Nei, a ("numan") girl with a tail. Latter her creator decided that a tail would be too much and just left the horns... I mean “ears”. I think we can say ‘NM series’ are made of genetic mixture between a human and a musk cat. It would be fun if PS1 remake had added more deep information about this matter like, for example, in Dr. Mad's Lab scene [Instead of killing Myau they could show him extract Myau’s DNA (and Arisa's as well - who was trying to save it/her); then Mad would start this new biomonster project before dying, some time latter, in his second appearance outside the lab. --yeah, this sounds just like fan fiction I know.

So I guess this means Nei and Rika are both catgirls. ^_^
