Therian 

A therian is someone who identifies as an animal on a non-physical level. Spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally, they relate to the essence and behaviors of this animal, even though they don't have the physiology to match. Some therians may have mental, phantom, sensory, emotional, dream or cameo shifts. (Being a therian is not a choice, it is something that you are born with or develops overtime.)

"I identify as a coyote mentally, therefore I am a therian."

(by the way, we don't bark at people, being a therian isn't a choice and we know we are human.)

Side note: Furries and Therians are not the same thing.

Examples:
"I mentally identify as fox, therefore, I am a therian."
"They are a therian and they spiritually identify as a coyote."

Therian
noun

A person who “spiritually identifies” as an animal but somehow still uses Wi-Fi and DoorDash. Says they didn’t choose it, they were “born this way,” even though most found out after binge watching TikTok edits of wolves to lofi beats. Claims they get “shifts” where they feel animalistic usually ends in them crawling on all fours or growling at their mom. Actual nature knowledge: zero. Ask them what a theriotype is and they’ll say “my inner fox.” Ask them why they don’t hunt squirrels or pee outside and suddenly it’s metaphorical. Basically: identity crisis but make it fuzzy.

Example:
“Don’t judge me, I’m a Therian.”
Bro you barked at the teacher and ran on all fours in a school hallway—what exactly did you want us to do, clap?

Therian 

Someone who is delusional, almost mentally insane about how they where an animal / ( they feel connections with a certain animal )in they're past life, even though its not a thing. its just something that happens, most therians don't believe in god, and are satanists. (I've Interviewed therians and most were satanists, ive done my research.) they practice a sport called quadrobics,

Its more of simply a belief that they were an animal in a past life and still retain some memories or behaviours of said animal.

Therians do not physically become the animal they have a connection with, although some do describe "mental shifts" where they feel their whole thought process becomes that of the animals.

They are "otherkins" which means they don't Identify as humans.

Therians can change and yall should lowk let me sneak this in but. GOD IS COMING

Example : My names jack and I'm a fox therian.

Therian

A type of person so pathetic they actually think that they have the spirit of an animal. Do not ask me how people genuinely think that it's not a choice to become one.

(Therian) Dad, I think I'm a therian...
(Dad) And I think you're an abortion, son.
