Biped

A biped or bipedal species was any lifeform which used two limbs as its primary means of terrestrial locomotion. Types of bipedal motion included walking, running, or hopping, as long as only two appendages, usually legs, were used.

Shapeshifters such as Changelings were bipedal when in humanoid form, but were not in their natural state. ()
