A Furry monster is anthropomorphic, in which animal and human 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 conscious of furry fandom. The term Furry is also sometimes utilized to refer to lovers of their arts arts. Such artwork range widely and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and performers, actors, voice talent, literary authors 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 may be regarded as the animation equivalent of character actors. On the other hand, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, and the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (although turtles don't have fur). They are generally more"realistic" in look than the humorous 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 fur con for laughs.

For example, the bunny 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 are not so closely tied to their creature sides, but there is always some degree of critical consideration given to it.
