A furry is an anthropomorphic (humanoid) animal character. Furry can also refer to fans of such characters, members of the furry fandom. Despite being called furries, a furry does not necessarily have to have fur. A furry can be any kind of animal, as long as it has humanoid attributes.

Furries as Anthro Characters

Furries originally started out as fictional characters in cartoons, comics, and Egyptian Mythology. A furry is an animal character that walks on two legs, talks, and is basically just a human with funky ears, a tail, and overgrown body hair.


Furries as a Fandom

Members of the Furry Fandom can have varying ammounts of interest in Furry characters. Some merely like to watch cartoons starring anthro characters, others create furry art, and still others go to the extremes of going to conventions and wearing mascot suits so they can pretend they are a dog-person.

Furries as a Fetish

Some people like to look at furry porn and somehow have sex in their fursuits with other furries. The act of furry sex is known as yiffing, and pornographic material featuring furries known as yiff. Someone who gets off on yiff is known as a Furry Fetishist, a Furvert, or a Furfag.
