"Furry" is a colloquial term used to describe a specific category of literary animal. A Furry creature is anthropomorphic, in which animal and human characteristics are equally present. It may be physical, mental or both. They can be serious or funny. Usage of the term furry is limited almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other cultural groups aware of furry fandom. The term Furry is also occasionally utilized to refer to lovers of their anthropomorphic arts. Such artwork range broadly and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and performers, celebrities, voice talent, literary authors and songwriters.

Within the approved usage of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny animals:" they're anthropomorphic, mostly act like people, and may be considered the animation equivalent of character actors. On the other hand, Usagi FC2019 Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, along with the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (although turtles don't have fur). They're generally more"realistic" in appearance compared to funny animals and act more like crosses between humans and animals. They are sapient and equally as much"people" as any fictional character, but they aren't presented as critters for laughs.

By way of example, the bunny characters in Richard Adams' novel Watership Down are sentient and talk to each other, but their behavior and psychology is quite closely derived from that detected in real life rabbits. Other furries aren't so closely tied to their own animal sides, but there's always some amount of 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 lots of individuals to create furry functions.
