"Furry" is a colloquial term used to describe a particular category of literary creature. A Furry monster is anthropomorphic, in which animal and human traits are equally present. It can be physical, mental or both. They can be serious or funny. Utilization of the term furry is limited almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other ethnic groups aware of furry fandom. The expression Furry is also sometimes used to refer to fans of the anthropomorphic arts. Such artwork range widely and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and performers, actors, voice talent, literary authors and songwriters.

Within the approved usage of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny animals:" they're anthropomorphic, largely act like humans, and may be considered the cartoon equivalent of character actors. On the other hand, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, and the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (even though turtles don't have fur). They are generally more"realistic" in look fursuits compared to humorous animals and behave more like crosses between humans and animals. They're sapient and equally as much"individuals" as any fictional character, but they are not presented as critters for laughs.

For example, the bunny characters in Richard Adams' novel Watership Down are sentient and speak to one another, but their psychology and behavior is quite closely derived from that detected in real life rabbits. Additional furries are not so closely tied to their animal sides, but there's always some amount of serious consideration given to it.
