Exotic sentient
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Exotic sentient was originally a Burned Fur replacement term used to describe a furry character.
History
The term was coined on February 16, 1999, by artist and former Burned Fur member Lemurzuli.
Terminology
Originally, it was primarily used by BF members and associates in conversations with non-furs not aware of the furry fandom (and its "fallacies", as per the BF), normally in non-furry situations, especially at professional events (especially those related to animation, cartooning/comics, etc). Other words used by the BF for the same purpose included "Sapient humaniform", "Talking animal", and/or "Fantasy creature".
The term is still in use in the fandom,[1][2] where they're also known as either just "exotics"[3] or "exotic creatures".
