We know there is some lever of tolerance in some Order countries. There are explicit mentions of Kobolds being sheltered or kept as pets, Dwarf merchants visiting non-radical Order settlements, Mermaids being tolerated by Order states in order to protect their ships, and of Weresheep Wool and Holstaur Milk being sold in Order states...

Also, Apasaras are accepted, being seen as agents of Eros...

So, which other mamono do you think may be accepted in the more lenient, less radical Order states?

Kept as pets or slaves:

-Kobold. Explicitly mentioned.

-Cu Sith. Very similar to Kobolds.

-Weresheep and Holstaurs; their wool and milk are sold in Order states, it is said that many people "raise" Weresheep for their wool, and that Holstaurs "have chosen the path to obey humans..." But the Weresheep and Holstaur in the A Hill Where Love Grows short story in Monster World Guide II - Mamono Realm Traveller's Guide don't look that submissive...

-Living Armors seem to live only to serve and protect their masters, and they don't even reproduce, as far as we know, so they may be considered safe enough.

-Golems would be tolerated, I guess, so long as their owner keeps control...

-Automatons are similar to Golems, but they are so scarce that the Order probably doesn't have an opinion formed about them...

-Fairies: It has been said that Fairies can be captured and "tamed..." so I think they could be allowed too...

-Mandragoras are said to be harmless once uprooted, and so timid they never attack people on their own, so people raise them for their roots...

-I guess enslaved Orcs and High Orcs too. They could be tolerated, but only as slaves...

-Captured Jinns of the Jar are basically normal girls.

-Captured Mimics too, and they are said to be very obedient once out of their chests, but they seem to be more aggressive about sex, so I am not so sure...

-I am not sure about Sea Slimes... they are simple-minded and pretty passive, they don't attack on their own, but they don't obey either... it would be hard to claim that you are keeping them around for anything else than for sex...

There are other possible candidates, like Dormices and Nueronagos, but they don't live in Order lands, so there probably isn't an official policy and they would be treated like just any other Large Mouse or Slime...

Werewolves can be tamed, but they remain dangerous to human women, and they probably are aggressive towards strangers... so I don't think they would be tolerated...

Wererabbits and Werecats are based on pets, but both seem to be pretty independent and sexually aggressive, so they probably wouldn't be acceptable as pets.

Monsters who would be allowed to visit human settlements in order to trade:

-Dwarves are said to be allowed to trade in non-radical Order stettlements.

-It is said that there is some tolerance towards some sea mamono, in order to protect Order ships. I guess Mermaids, Merrows, Sea Bishops, Sea Slimes, Flow Kelps and Tritonias are docile enough to merit tolerance.

-If Dwarves are allowed, I guess Trolls could be too... Of course, avoiding daylight may be a problem... Maybe it would be easier for human merchants to visit Troll settlements at night...

-Lizardmen could be tolerated. They would be harmless to most villagers.

-Jinkos look even safer than Lizardmen.

-Centaurs look quite safe, so long as you keep your distance...

-Unicorns, of course, would be tolerated. The Travelling Scholar mentions that humans misunderstand Unicorns and think them pure and uninterested in sex, so it seems that humans know about Unicorns and have a positive opinion about them...

-White Horns would probably be tolerated too, since they are so helpful and go out of their way in order to avoid tempting or sexually harassing men...

-There is mention of some Goblins visiting human settlements in order to sell their ore... but other groups attack human villages and rape and steal men, so I don't know if even lenient Order territories would allow them to visit... Goblin merchants may restrict themselves to monster friendly or neutral territories...

I'm not so sure about Harpies. They look quite safe, they are friendly, and they are willing to work as couriers, but the profile only mentions monster friendly states using their services...

Papillons look quite safe, but their larval phase and their insect bits would probably be seem as too monstrous for the Order...

Umi Oshos and Unagi Joros could be tolerated the same way as Mermaids, but don't live close to Order territory. Likewise, Hinezumis, Ren Xiongmao and Hakutakus look safe enough to be allowed to visit, but they live in the Mist Continent only...

Monsters who would be allowed to live as citizens in human settlements (probably passing as humans...):

-Damphirs. Most people don't realize they are monsters, and even those who know believe they aren't "full monsters", but rather some kind of hybrid who is on humanity's side... Non radicals would probably tolerate them...

-Selkies should have no problem passing as humans. Even if people knew about their seal pelts, they could pass them for magical tools...

-'''Monsterized Elves. '''Could pass for normal Elves, if they can keep their cool. Married Elves in particular would have it easy, since they would be able to act perfectly normal while away from their husbands...

-Monsterized Fairies and Leanan Sidhes. Non-mamono fairies aren't targets for the Order... if they could pass for non-monsterized fairies, they may be tolerated.

-Kikimoras, but it would be riskier... They could be caught more easily, having several non-human bits... Some of the most tolerant settlements may accept them for what they are...

Kejourous, Nurarihyons and Akanames could try to pass too, since they look human, but they live in Zipangu, not in Order Lands.

Dark Priests and Witches live in Order settlements, but they are spies under disguise, and would be targeted if discovered... I don't think that counts as coexistance... Dark Mages look human, but they seem to either be driven away out of human settlements to swams and forests, or they turn the settlement into a Demon Realm. No mention of they being able to coexist anywhere...

Monsters who are seen as divine agents:

-Cupids.

-Houris.

-Apsaras.

-Gandharvas.

-Monsterized Angels and Valkiries could try to pass for unmonsterized versions, but I think the Order would crack hard on them once discovered...

-Elementals.

-Not sure about '''Satyrs. '''They are worshippers of Bacchus, but they get people drunk with their magical flutes and have sex with them while in that state... and they sometimes monsterize women... that sounds like too much even for lenient Order states...
