Magical Beasts were, true to their name, creatures born of magic. Unlike ordinary animals such as ordinary horses, hounds, or cats that still roamed the world, these entities possessed an anatomical difference: condensed Mana/Beast Core beating within them.
Historical records suggest these creatures first emerged some three thousand years ago, a timeline that perfectly aligned with the rise of the Original Covens of Witches. It was a correlation that would spark centuries of debate. Scholars and commoners alike often whispered that one of these founding covens was directly responsible for breeding the first Magical Beasts into existence. However, surviving archives are a lot fragmented and very much contradictory. It is possible that their simultaneous appearance was merely a grim coincidence, and a terrified populace sought a convenient scapegoat for the sudden influx of monstrosities.
