Therianthropy

edit

A therian is someone who self-identifys as a non-human animal. That is the defenition of therian and therianthropy is the same thing. I want this on Wikipida, lets do it! 47.223.253.45 (talk) 00:24, 13 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have noticed a mistake, therianthropy is not the act of shapeshifting into an animal. Therianthropy is actually involuntarily identifying as an animal(s) that either have or had existed in this world. That is just a simple explanation as therianthropy is a very complicated thing, but there is a therian wiki, too, so I do not see the need to give an extremely complex explanation. 142.162.204.225 (talk) 10:26, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I think the third item (which links to Otherkin) covers this. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 11:35, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Therian may refer to:

  • In taxonomy, a member of the mammalian subclass Theria, consisting of marsupial and placental mammals
  • Therianthropy, the mythological ability or affliction of individuals to metamorphose into animals or hybrids by means of shapeshifting
  • A member of the contemporary subculture of therianthropy, a subcommunity of otherkin, which is based on a psychological identification with animals

There are many different types of therians, Therian is just a collective noun for members of Therianthropy community.

Therians can relate (refer) to many different animals that they may like to portray, animals like Foxes, Snow leopards, or any other Theria are popular amongst the Therian community.
