A Furry creature is anthropomorphic, where human and animal characteristics are both present. It can be physical, mental or both. They can be funny or serious. Usage of the term furry is limited almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other cultural groups aware of furry fandom. The term Furry is also sometimes utilized to refer to lovers of their arts arts. Such artwork range broadly and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and actors, actors, voice talent, literary authors furry art and songwriters.

Within the accepted use of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny creatures:" they're anthropomorphic, largely behave like people, and can be regarded as the animation equivalent of character actors. On the flip side, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, and the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (even though turtles do not have fur). They're usually more"realistic" in appearance than the funny animals and act more like crosses between people and animals. They are sapient and equally as much"individuals" as any fictional character, but they aren't presented as critters for laughs.

For example, the bunny characters in Richard Adams' novel Watership Down are sentient and speak to each other, but their behavior and psychology is very closely derived from that detected in real life rabbits. Other furries are not so closely tied to their own creature sides, but there's always some amount of serious consideration given to it.
