Could a Vastaya be drawn as an anthro with separate animal's traits and still count?

Probably? Using Vastaya as defined by Riot to tag on here could get messy. Vastaya are mostly just the animal people of League of Legends, including ahri_(lol), nami_(lol), neeko_(lol), rengar_(lol), sett_(lol), wukong_(lol), xayah_(lol), and rakan_(lol).

To quote the LoL fandom wiki

There are three types of vastaya:
"Animal-like" vastaya resemble other animals, but are bipedal or otherwise mildly humanoid.
"Human-like" vastaya closely resemble humans, especially in terms of facial features, but still retain a modest level of animalistic elements: for instance, feline or foxlike ears, tails, or feathers.
Shapeshifters retain ether a human or animal appearance of their choosing, but they are able to shapeshift in and out of each form.

Each type of vastaya greatly differs from the others in appearance and abilities, but they are all in tune with the natural magic of Runeterra to some degree.

From what I can tell, Vastaya is Riot's way of describing our animal_humanoid tag.

If more beastly characters like Rengar are included as "Animalistic" Vastaya, then Vastaya are not Humanoids. You could separate it into humanoid_vastaya and animal_vastaya and have those imply vastaya, and have each imply humanoid and anthro separately respectively, but vastaya itself should not imply either.

...Looks like Monsterbomb has already edited that bit out, so there's no longer anything for me to complain about here.
