Fun Facts (and Myths) About Furries
Furries are people who are deeply interested in animal characters–real or mythical–with human characteristics. The furridom (or furry fandom) is a diverse and inclusive community of fans, artists, gamers, and writers who bond over this shared interest. Furry communities can be found online and locally, and the fandom itself is global–there are hundreds of communities worldwide and dozens of conventions held every year all over the world.
Many furries create a “fursona,” or an anthropomorphized animal character version of themselves, and they use this as their avatar in online furry communities. Some furries even wear costumes or furry accessories (like animal ears or tails), but furries do not believe that they’re actual animals themselves.
Despite some negative portrayals in the media, the furry lifestyle is not a sexual fetish, and being a furry has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Generally speaking, the furry fandom is a wholesome community of fans who are dedicated to showing love and enthusiasm for cherished animal characters.
Furries usually identify with one specific anthropomorphic character and their fursonas are based on that character. That said, some furries are hybrids of several animal characters, and others may have multiple fursonas. There are at least 6,000+ types of fursonas, but the most common species include:
- Feline: Domestic cats, lions, tigers, panthers, leopards, etc.
- Canine: Wolves, foxes, domestic dogs, jackals, coyotes, etc.
- Dragon: Any and all mythical dragon types/species.
-
Hybrid: Typically, a combination of the above (like a Dragon/Wolf hybrid).
Furries come in all shapes, sizes, and interest levels, including:
- Fursuits: These furries make and wear elaborate animal costumes so they can attend conventions, role play online, and live out their fursonas. Some fursuits are casual fans, while others believe their fursonas to be more spiritual in nature.
- Therians: These folks feel spiritually connected to a specific animal species. Some therians even believe that they were born in the wrong body or that they were an animal in their past life.
- Otherkin: These are furries who base their fursonas on mythical creatures (rather than real animal species). Many otherkin feel deeply and spiritually connected to their characters.
