I feel like this line of dialogue implies that half foots are prey animals as Chilchuck's anxiety and reactiveness goes away. Most prey animals have some form of anxiety. Along with that, half foots also have heightened senses and seem to be hyperaware (like prey animals) compared to the other human species.
So what exactly made the half foots evolve like prey animals?

Parallel Lines
---
I do wonder sometimes, if neither of them had become 'Brothers', how they might have fared better. . .
Taka, obviously, would not have been as vulnerable to Celeste's machinations had he not been mourning his Kyoudai. . .
But Mondo?
Perhaps without the boon of his new hard won friendship with Taka, he might not have had the confidence to agree so soon to help with Chihiro's training.
Deeply unsettled and antsy, newly preoccupied that his worst secret will be revealed, he may have stalled just long enough to have avoided that tragedy.
Did their bond become their millstone?

Chilchuck is such a fascinating character, because every time you learn something new about him, it’s like you’re being punched in the gut. Like, the first time you see him, you’re all “Aww, look at this lil’ guy. Isn’t he cute? Aw, he hates being treated like a kid. He’s probably already in his late teens or early twenties or something. One of those Older Than They Look type characters right?”
And then you find out that he’s almost thirty. He’s older than Laios. And you’re like, okaaaaay, that’s a little older than I expected, but that definitely explains why he hates being treated like a kid so much.
And then much, much later you find out that he has a wife and kids. And you’re just sitting there like, huh, okay. Okaaaaay. Well, this really, really, really explains why he doesn’t like being treated like a kid. He’s a dad. He’s experienced the ups and downs of parenthood. He’s the only character in the group that’s canonically had sex. Okay. Yeah. Wowza.
And then shortly after you find out that he’s his race’s equivalent of a middle-aged man, and it’s like, okaaaaay. That recontextualizes a lot of things. He’s a middle-aged man trapped in a twelve-year-old’s body. Okay. Yeah. Wowee. Gee willickers.
And you think that’s it. You think that nothing else could top that. And then the bicorn chapter comes rolling in with a steel chair and you find out that his wife left him and all three (count that, three) of his daughters are fully grown adults. And as you’re reeling back from all of this new information, they deliver one last final slap to your face.
Chilchuck was a teen parent.
But what makes this all so funny, so fascinating, is that Chilchuck arguably has the most normal backstory out of anyone in the group. And if he was literally any other race, tallman, elf, dwarf, whatever, this information would still be surprising, sure, but it wouldn’t hit the same way it does when he’s a half-foot. Ryoko Kui really said, You know what would be funny? If I made the party’s token grumpy middle-aged man, father of three, look like this:
And she's right. It's very funny.

JOEL OF THE SMALL BEANS VARIETY. I’ve spent the last few hours of my life running his hardcore series while I do my homework. Probably not very efficient of me but hey background noise! I initially meant for it to be just a sketch but I have the very bad habit of wanting to colour everything even when I don’t have time.
