"Furry" is a colloquial term used to describe a specific category of fictional creature. A Furry creature is anthropomorphic, in which human and animal traits are both present. It may be physical, mental or both. They may be funny or serious. Utilization of the term furry is restricted almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other cultural groups aware of furry fandom. The expression Furry is also sometimes used to refer to lovers of the anthropomorphic arts. Such artwork range widely and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and performers, celebrities, voice talent, literary writers and songwriters.
Within the accepted usage of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny creatures:" they're anthropomorphic, mostly behave like humans, and may be regarded as the cartoon equivalent of character actors. On the flip side, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, and the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (even though turtles do not have fur). They're usually more"realistic" in appearance than the funny animals and behave more like crosses between humans and animals. They are sapient and equally as much"people" as any fictional character, but they are not presented as critters for laughs.
By way of instance, the bunny characters in Richard Adams' novel Watership Down are sentient and speak to one another, but their behavior and psychology is very closely derived from that observed in real-life rabbits. Other furries are not so closely tied to their own creature sides, but there's always some degree of furry art serious consideration given to it. Andre Norton's Breed to Come, Brian Jacques' Redwall series, also Steven Boyett's The Architect of Sleep are different examples of novels featuring furries, as is Paul Kidd's Fangs of K'aath, which has been cited as a source of inspiration for many individuals to make furry works.
