"Furry" is a colloquial term used to refer to a specific category of literary creature. A Furry monster is anthropomorphic, in which animal and human traits are equally present. It may be physical, psychological or both. They may be serious or funny. Utilization of the term furry friend is restricted almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other ethnic groups conscious of furry fandom. The expression Furry is also occasionally utilized to refer to lovers of their anthropomorphic arts. Such arts range widely and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and performers, actors, voice talent, literary writers and songwriters.

Within the approved use of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny animals:" they are anthropomorphic, mostly behave like people, and may be regarded as 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 (although turtles do not have fur). They are generally more"realistic" in appearance compared to funny animals and behave more like crosses between humans and animals. They're sapient and equally as much"people" as any fictional character, but they aren't presented as animals for laughs.

By way of instance, the rabbit 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 furry artists aren't so closely tied to their own animal sides, but there's always some amount of serious consideration given for this.
