Denkou is a creature of thick, soft brown fur covering his long lithe body. He seems to prefer to walk down on all fours, though sometimes he can be seen standing or walking upright. His tail is long and thick, able to curl around and grip objects just as well as any of his paws. The paws have soft pads on their soles and toes, and the for-paws do have working thumbs, though the digits are a bit shorter than what one might consider average for grasping hands. His ears are large, very sensitive to both touch and sound. They are able to fold nearly entirely closed or fan out rather widely to catch more detail in sound. Denkou's kind are very capable mimics as far as sounds are concerned. Within a few tries they can copy most noises exactly, though they might not know what the noise's meaning actually is. They are of about equal intelligence to your average human, and while they have very different priorities, they capable of reason and will. (Meaning they are not what most would call Feral.) Shadekin tend to be rather large.
