An anthropomorphic animal; a character based on an animal but with human traits. Body fur, feathers, or scales are common. Characters that have only tails or ears are not considered furry, use kemonomimi mode instead.
"Kemono" is the Japanese equivalent of the term "furry", with fans of such being called "kemona" or "kemoner". Just like with furries in the west, there are numerous subcategories and subcultures within.
