''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13315547/1/Pawprints Pawprints]]'' is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' fanfic that replaces Faunus with beings who have {{shapeshifter}} powers called "Panthers".

Some humans can transform into animals and some animals can transform into humans. These individuals are called "Panthers" and they're ostracized by other humans. If a human-born Panther doesn't conform as they're expected, they're deemed a danger and are killed. Huntresses and Hunters are specially trained to find and assassinate any Panthers they can find.

While out on a mission, Weiss Schnee comes across a group of Panthers that make her double-think what she knows about them.

!!''Pawprints'' provides examples of:

* AdaptedOut: Faunus and Grimm are removed and replaced with Panthers.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Most "Panthers" are born from human parents but it's unclear if they're a HumanSubspecies or whether it's a genetic quirk.
* {{Animorphism}}: Panthers are either humans who can transform into animals or animals that can transform into humans.
* DeathOfAChild: Panther cubs aren't exempt from the slaughter. Yang offhandedly mentions killing multiple and Weiss has been forced to kill a few herself.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Yang's sister Ruby was left wheelchair bound by a Panther that attacked her.
* LittleBitBeastly: Panthers can change their looks to be completely human or not. Blake is rebellious and keeps her feline ears even in human form.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The driving force behind the story is where Panthers stand. Human-born Panthers are ostracized and forced to behave like normal humans, while animal-born Panthers are culled because they're seen as dangerous animals. If a human-born Panther rebels and runs away, they're killed by Hunters.
