* The answer is found in the canon guide posted on GameFAQs by saiki (one of the original folks who compiled the ever-evolving Street Fighter guide. {{Word Of God}} states [[https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/arcade/583725-darkstalkers/faqs/25007]] : "The cat-women race are born as normal human babies. But around the age of 4~10, they would start to grow body hair, ears, and tails. And although their are individual difference's, they have the ability to transform. This ability allows them to hide their limbs and tails and look like a normal human to avoid attention." So basically it seems their kids are born normally, but if it's a boy, they'll remain human, but if a girl they'll develop the Cat Woman traits.

[[WMG: The rather [[BrokenBase divisive]] reception that ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' had may've been a potential reason why Capcom never got around to fully making and releasing the 4th Darkstalkers game on the CPS 3 Arcade Hardware.]]
During the late 90's both Franchise/StreetFighter and VideoGame/FatalFury had new Fighting games where they did a almost completely new roster of characters and only one or few recurring characters are still around. For all we know Capcom may have planned to do a almost new set of characters for Darkstalkers 4 like what they did with ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII''. Unfortunately due to how a lot of people were bothered by the idea of a mostly new cast for ''Street Fighter III'' at the time (and some people still are) this scared Capcom off for trying that idea again with Darkstalkers. (And significantly changing the game to make it more familiar would take a lot more time to do so.) So Capcom quite possibly quietly shelved the idea of a Darkstalkers 4 with new characters out of fear it would have the same reaction as ''Street Fighter III'' did.

Huitzil is notable for having his moveset and animations change a lot from game to game in the series, to the point where even things as basic as his walk cycle are different in each one. Since it is known that there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of him, maybe each game's Huitzil is actually a different individual unit with different equipment and programming.

[[WMG: If there's ever a new game, some possible future character ideas could be-]]
* The unused Nurikabe concept.
* The unused Invisible Man concept, possibly with more clothing so as to not be too similar to [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Toru Hagakure]].
* [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2 Amingo]], or another "plant monster" concept, possibly an homage to [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey II]].
* A space alien type character, either of a LittleGreenMen or TheGreys variety.
* A rokurokubi.

** Another possibility is that the off-model scenes are Morrigan's glamour slipping slightly (much like Demitri showing his monster form), and her true Succubus form being "off" to humans

[[WMG: The Huitzils seen in Darkstalkers 1, 2 and 3 are different individual units.]]

Most of the time, her face looks completely normal and she probably was intended to be an attractive villain. The instances where she looks ugly and old are actually a result of the OffModel animation and the unappealing art style. There is also the fact that other characters that are supposed to be attractive (Like Felicia or Rikuo) look weird in a couple of scenes of the cartoon.

As {{Word Of God}} has shown, the catgirls are all-female. [[YouFailBiologyForever Any biologist will tell you that this is absurd]]; all but the simplest of lifeforms reproduce sexually (hermaphrodites capable of [[ScrewYourself literally screwing themselves]] notwithstanding). This leaves two options; 1. They are immortal and committed {{Gendercide}} in the past; and 2. They reproduce asexually and only ''look'' female. [[TakeAThirdOption Of course]], there may be a catgirl generator out there that [[{{ItRunsOnNonsensoleum}} Runs On Nonsenseoleum]] and the {{Rule Of Sexy}}....
