* No real benefit in how AI processes it

**Bottom Line**

When writing non-human character descriptions, be extremely detailed and specific. Assume the model has no prior knowledge and will default to human traits unless told otherwise in specific details. Remember that most models aren't trained on scales-and-tails data.
