- Description
-
"Therian" refers to an individual who identifies as a non-human animal on a spiritual or psychological level. This identity is part of a subculture where members believe they possess the essence or soul of a specific animal, often referred to as their "theriotype." Unlike furries, who may just enjoy animal-themed art or costumes, therians often describe experiencing "shifts" or a deep internal connection to their animal identity. The term is frequently discussed in niche social media communities and can sometimes be a target of online harassment.
- Example
-
> Does that lady just hate the dude because he's a therian?
> He posted a video about his life as a therian and the comments were surprisingly supportive.
> I didn't know what a therian was until I saw her wearing that wolf tail at the park.
