Trying to specific what the question is asking since it seems that people are getting confused by the question (my fault!). Asked the same question multiple times throughout my question in different ways to help cut down on the confusion.

| Jun 17, 2017 at 1:21 | comment | added | SCPilot | Hm....Good point. Although, would a biped, ungulate humanoid be able to kick as well? While an ungulate animal most certainly can kick, a biped ungulate might have trouble. But then, again, I could be mistaken...depending on how this question is answered of course. | |
| Jun 17, 2017 at 1:18 | comment | added | AlexP | It is not only possible, it is common; for example, ungulates (horses, donkeys, mules, cattle) are digitigrades and they can most certainly kick. | |
