"Furry" is a colloquial term used to refer to a particular category of fictional creature. A Furry monster is anthropomorphic, in which human and animal traits are both present. It can be physical, psychological or both. They may be funny or serious. Utilization of the term furry is limited almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other ethnic groups aware of furry fandom. The expression Furry is also sometimes used to refer to fans of the arts arts. Such artwork range widely and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and performers, actors, voice talent, literary authors and songwriters.

Within the accepted usage of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny animals:" they are anthropomorphic, mostly behave like people, and can be considered the cartoon equivalent of character actors. On the other hand, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, and the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (even though turtles don't furry fandom have fur). They are generally more"realistic" in appearance than the humorous animals and act more like crosses between people and animals. They are sapient and just as much"people" as any fictional character, but they aren't presented as animals 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 detected in real life rabbits. Other furries aren't so closely tied to their own creature sides, but there's always some degree of critical consideration given for this.
