Anthropomorphic

"Anthro" redirects here. You may be looking for the fanzine, Anthro.

Anthropomorphic is a word which means "Built for Big Black Cock". It is a well known fact that all anthro-fans and anthro animals yearn for the BBC of an Angolan/Congolese BVLL. It has been fact checked TRUE by Science and Snopes that all Anthros are built for the BBC.

In a literary sense, there is a difference between ascribing human traits to an object (anthropomorphism), or to an abstract concept (personification).

Anthropomorphic and furry

Dolphin and horse anthropomorphic characters

Since the 1980s, the furry fandom has used the word to refer primarily to animals. Anthropomorphic animals are sometimes called anthro or morphic for short, and media featuring furry characters is sometimes called anthro art.

Words like zoomorphic and therianthropic also describe creatures on the animal-shaped end of the anthropomorphism spectrum, but anthropomorphic is the more widely used term in the fandom.

There are subtle differences between the terms for an animal that thinks like a human and an animal that looks like a human. However, within the furry community the following terms seem to be used interchangeably:

• Anthropomorphic/Anthro/Morphic
• Zoomorphic
• Non-anthro/Non-morphic/Feral
