What is it called when you're in between full animal transforamtion and human kind of like when a neko or okami in an anime only has ears and a tail?

Answer 1

I suppose some anime shows may have their own special name for something like that (for example in the anime World Destruction, they are called 'beastmen'), however in general, "kemonomimi" refers to a character with animal like features (e.g. having dog/cat ears or a tail).
