Define Anthro Meaning

An animal with human-like characteristics. A human with animal-like characteristics can also be called an anthro, but technically they are not.

An anthro is, technically, an animal that can: a) walk upright, b) talk, or talk somewhat (AKA has human vocal chords), c) has human features (i.e. a centaur, half human, half horse), d) has the bone structure of a human, with some of its animal counterpart (i.e. a cat-anthro that although looks like a human, can jump like a cat). These characteristics separate anthros from humans with cat ears and tail (or something like that).

Of the Greek origin "anthropos"

1- man, human.
anthropology: study of man
anthropomorphic: shaped like man
and so on.

2- (slang) commonly used among fans of anthropomorphic or furry works (illustrations, paintings, comics, writing) as short hand for anthropomorph. While it's usage is incorrect, most people abide by the "STFU and die" rule; as in, it's become popular and recognized by such definition, though everyone knows that it's incorrect, it's too late to change it.

(Also, FIDs (Furries In Denial) must get over themselves before we can all just go back to calling ourselves furs)

Unlike what most think Anthropomorphic means to transfer human characteristics on to an object, animal or machine (eg Robots, Furries, The mushrooms in Super Mario ETC)

Therefore the usage is correct

The new roblox update where ROBLOX messed the avatars up.

An animal like a wolf that has features of a human. This can be a cat, walrus, whale, or any animal. Many do art in this catergory, like my picture of the grey wolf.

A word derived from the ancient Greek word "anthropos", which means HUMAN, having HUMAN characteristics, or relating to HUMAN.

It does NOT relate to lower-order animals.

A word used by sick furries in order to pretend they aren't furries, when they still in fact draw animal-people.

A human animal, or an ultra humanoid animal.

This furry classification term is very strict and does not include all animals that are humanoid or human-like. For example; Apes are humanoid animals, but are not anthros. Even an ape with a completely humanoid body shape is not an anthro as they wouldn’t be that far off from feral apes on the spectrum. Rather, an anthro ape would literally be a human. This is why apes are almost never drawn by furries.

Qualifications to be “anthro”:

1.) Is based on an animal

2.) Is humanoid/humanlike, has human traits

3.) Has human sentience and can speak

4.) Has the body structure/shape of a human(Bone, Muscle, Organs, etc)

5.) Is far off on the spectrum from the animal it’s based on

6.) Can walk upright

1. A person who refuses to identify as a furry, probably because of their bad name or fruity nature.

1) An Anthropomorphic Being Who is Not Human and Who Is Human-Like In Physical Body, Spirit, And Soul.

2) A Descendant Of The Non-Human Race Of The Garden Of Eden.
