A furry is a subculture of people who are interested in anthropomorphic or
animal-like characters with human-like qualities, such as the ability to speak and
walk upright. They often create and wear costumes or "fursuits" to represent their own original characters or favorite existing characters. The furry
fandom often includes artists, writers, and gamers who share their interest in these characters and create their own works based on them. While some people may view the furry subculture as unusual or
niche, it is ultimately a community of individuals who share a common interest and passion.
