Bestial characters in social-heavy situations are potentially interesting, but are effectively playing a different game from normal PCs. Which might pose significant game focus issues.

The wording is "You cannot
understand property in the human
sense, but (depending on your race)
you might understand territory and
avoid doing damage to objects on
another’s territory."
So some grasp of possessions is maybe a slight stretch, but no more than that. And taking the incomprehension as specific to
human refinements on the concept of property, not necessarily excluding 'this is my favorite termite-hunting stick - mine! That stick is yours.'
Though it might exclude the latter sentence, or the former, in some cases. Bestial covers a significant behavioral spectrum. It's definitely a disadvantage where just putting the name and point cost on your sheet does not sufficiently specify what you'll be about.
