The Revelation of the Dragon God

Why Do the Residents of Kemono Town Have Animal Faces?

Hello! It’s NICO.

Today, I’m going to talk about one of Kemono Town’s seven mysteries: “Why do the residents of Kemono Town have animal faces?” Believe it or not, our ancestors used to have human faces long, long ago. So, why do the current residents of Kemono Town have animal faces now?

The Drought and the Appearance of the Dragon God

A long time ago, Kemono Town was struck by a severe drought. Rivers and lakes dried up, forests withered, and the people were left without water or food, truly suffering. Fearing that the town would be lost forever, the residents prayed to the sky, “Please, give us the blessing of rain!”

Then, their prayers were finally answered. The sky darkened, thunder roared, and the Dragon God slowly emerged from the lake! With its majestic figure rising toward the heavens, it summoned rain clouds and showered the land with life-giving rain. Thanks to this rain, the earth was nourished, rivers and lakes were filled, and the forests came back to life.

The Mission of the “Guardians of Nature” Given by the Dragon God

At that moment, the Dragon God spoke to the residents: “You are to become the guardians of this land’s nature and pass its blessings onto future generations. To help you fulfill this role, I will give you the form that can sense the forces of nature.”And thus, the residents were given animal faces to carry out their mission.

The Meaning Behind Animal Faces

Our ancestors were probably shocked when their faces suddenly changed into those of animals—no doubt they did a double take! But, after that, they accepted it and began to live with pride as the “Guardians of Nature.” From then on, animal faces became the symbol of guardianship, and the residents of Kemono Town have lived harmoniously with nature, taking care of the forests and lakes every day.

In Conclusion

If you ever visit Kemono Town, I hope you’ll remember this story. Our faces carry the Dragon God’s wish for us to live peacefully with nature. As you enjoy the beauty and strength of the nature we protect, I’m sure you’ll discover the true charm of Kemono Town!
