Fur, natural clothing/armor (like the exoskeletal shell parts of the Mantis, and, so far that I know of only for her, her blades) and scales can be retracted and detracted by the Mamono by controling her Demonic Energies at will. Since all Mamono have demonic energy, all monsters with natural bits of fur, scales, etc. can change some to most of their appearance at any time they please. Some species of Mamono draw real close to the look of a human female, like the Mantis, who only has the abdomen and extra eyes and antennae popping out on her head and hair (Viridian Ninja story) when everything is fully retracted. Others cannot change what they are (Mermaids/Merrows, Harpies, Arachnes (Not including the seductive Zipangu one that's a terror at night)) except by magical or other means.
