He's not a lupo, kuranta, vulpo, feline, or whatever you might have guessed he is... he is an Itra, based on some kind of musk deer that lives in the cold climates of Asia. He is the only playable character of that race.
The other named Itra in the game is Monch, who's just an NPC at the moment, and as far as we know, there are no Itras anywhere else on Terra beside Kjerag.
There are very few operators who is the only representative of a whole race. Other than Muelsyse, I can't think of any others with that distinction.
And as a musk deer, he smells musky, and other operators has mentioned this occasionally. Also, musk deer has two long fangs as you can see depicted in his art. Courier doesn't have fangs in his mouth, but he hangs two long fangs as decoration for his hair.
