anthropomorphic

Art or stories where characters contain a mixture of animal and human characteristics.

Most anthropomorphic characters walk on two legs, speak and often wear clothes. They are fantasy creatures.

They can exist on a spectrum from having almost all animal characteristics, with only a few human traits, or being almost all human with a few animal traits.

Some people in the furry fandom prefer the term anthropomorphic to describe the art, writing and role playing they engage in. It is a more inclusive term, as many anthro characters combine human traits with the traits of non-furry animals, such as lizards, dinosaurs and birds.

Anthropomorphic

Used to describe a fictional animal if the writer chooses to give it the ability to speak and communicate. Wikipedia uses the word "anthropomorphic" for any animal in fiction that has human level intelligence, but you should only use it for animals in fiction that speak.

Anthromorph

Unlike what many people think about Anthromorphs having animal ears and tails, they are usually animals that have a human-like bone structure.

Anthromorphs are furry beings, that have the facial structures of animals, legs of animals, tails and all other traits of animals. Anthromorphs can be any breed of animal and have no special abilities. They're just animals that can talk, walk with two legs and have more human-like bodies.
