A SuperAnimal is a genetically engineered lifeform that generally has animalistic features but an overall humanoid appearance.
A player begins the game with at least four SuperAnimal species unlocked: The Super Fox, The Super Bear, The Super Skullcat, and the Super Tiger.

Yes, they all start out with katanas, for some reason. ^_~
All SuperAnimals are equal but some SuperAnimals are more equal than others.
Well, actually no but yes. All SuperAnimals are identical in how they play – but they do not look the same.
Genetically unlocking more SuperAnimals is a small but important part of the gameplay experience. As you play more matches, you collect resources that can be used for the purpose. Species-specific DNA, as well as Super Serum.
When enough DNA is collected, a player can visit the Research Lab tab of the main menu, and here they may browse the various species that could be unlocked. Once a species is unlocked, the player is able to select it for their played character.
An unlocked species also expands to allow players to unlock sub-species of a given SuperAnimal species.
The very vast majority of SuperAnimal sub-species are obtainable through play.
A few sub-species are unlocked behind the limited time seasonal packs, or the Super Edition or Super Supporter packs or even the no-longer-obtainable Early Backers Exclusive pack.
And, of course, SuperAnimals are fairly customizable.

‘Next’, we’ll be going over the game’s main menu and its navigation.
