GUIDE: FIND OUT if you are a THERIAN + your THERIOTYPES! | Therianthropy

[@sylvisterling8782]

I've never really explored therian or otherkin. But I'll tell you of a funny incident that happened when I was a teenager. I was at summer camp. The cabins we were in were up the hill, and turned so that we were not in direct line-of-sight to the camp office. This is important. Evening came, and I had a strong urge to howl at the full moon... so I went out onto the balcony. This was on the other side from, and uphill from the camp office. I threw back my head and had a LOVELY howl. It felt SOOO good! Suddenly the camp intercom crackled to life, and the camp director's voice floated out over the air. "Sylvi! Go back to bed!" LOL! He KNEW it was me, even though he could not see me! So I barked a couple of times, and went back in to a storm of giggling campers!

[@DarkGuardian_Silvers]

OMG I RELATE

[@VilhelminaSigfridsson]

Lol! Im scared of accidentally having an urge to howl in nature and does and then ppl think its an wolf or smt so i try my best to never do that it also never happend me

[@PaisleysCreations]

Idk if I'm a black cat or wolf

[@chanelreid6245]

Wow.

[@SaneJourney]

ooh fun fact yhe reason that wolves howl at the moon is because if there head is up the sound travels more! so it's like a signal to other wolves!

[@MoonyBOIII]

A tip for younger/recently discovered therians with self-doubt: No one else can tell you if you are a therian or not. Therianthropy and otherkinity, and everything alterhuman in-between, is a very personal and unique experience for everyone. Your experiences are what determines if you are alterhuman, and no one but yourself truly knows your experiences. Trust yourself, and know that it is okay to be wrong♡

[@Callies_spamacc]

TYTY!!❤

[@elmariemouton4563]

Hey i uhmm i am confused on if i am or not a therian i jut know took a therian quizz and i dont know if its accurate or not

[@elmariemouton4563]

On google tho but if someone please help me find out if i am or not a therian then it would me nice😊

[@Croissantnawrs]

OMG same , but i used chatgpt for questions and i answered based on that and then it said i was but im having like so much self doubt rn like what if im faking my experiences and stuff like that. I feel fake and shit and that im just tricking myself into beliving im a therian

[@MoonyBOIII]

@@elmariemouton4563 In my opinion, I really suggest that you don't use any form of quizzes or tests to help determine your therianthropy. What I did to help discover if I was a therianthrope: read a lot of articles from different sources, watch educational videos made by more experienced alterhumans (*cough* Thorn *cough*), and talk to other alterhumans/read about other therians' experiences to see if I can relate to any common experiences. I had my own doubts about my therianthropy, so I started keeping a journal of everything that I experience that I consider non-human. This can be especially helpful to log shifts and non-human behavior if you have a poor memory like myself. I really encourage you to do some deeper digging on the subcategories of therianthropy as well, and it's critical to do some introspection on why you believe you're a therianthrope. It's okay to be wrong as long as you're willing to learn ...frick this is long asf-

[@wistieonpaws]

Am i a therian? 1. I’ve had a strong connection with foxes ever since i was a kid. I used to do roleplays where i was a fox or a canine and do vocals and quads like one. I never knew what this could lead to. 2. I’ve felt my hands as paws many times, and quads are very comfortable to me, even though I am not the best at them. 3. I share many traits with a fox, for example, sensitive hearing, and a way more awake sense at night. I also get frightened very easily. 4. Nature is very calming to me, and I really feel free around it. It feels like home whenever I’m in nature. 5. When I scream most of the time, it sounds like a fox yipping. These are not staged, they just happen. 6. I feel trapped in the busy everyday of life. Like i need peace and need to run away. I’m pretty sure I may be connected to therianthropy, I just need a confirmation.

[@Addicted2Adofai]

Probably

[@Feral_CoyFox]

No one can tell you if you are a therian, because only you know what you experience exactly. However based on my experience it's likely you are a therian.

Am I a Therian? 1. When I was younger I always felt like I was a cat from my actions to my diet (not a lot of similarity’s but had some)I always acted like a cat (wild cats too) 2.I felt like always doing vocal’s,when ever I did I felt so good and out of all my friends I always sounded like a cat ( cats communicate meowing to humans only) 3.(still learning ) I always liked and felt comfortable doing quats. 4.I feel like being in a forest. 5.I feel this connection between the therio type I have!

hii,, does anyone have any ideas on what theriotype(s) i might be? -i rly like doing quadrobics (even tho im not very good) but when i do them it feels VERY natural - i prefer seafood and fish over any other food -i prefer night over day -i feel very connected to nature -i tend to do random animal vocals,, im not sure what just yet tho -im pretty anti-social and introverted -i LOVE sleeping/taking naps -i like when ppl touch/play with my hair or when someone pats my head -im a very sleepy animal,, i take multiple naps a day and stay awake later if you read this,, thank you!! :3

maybe an otter, consider looking into that

[@faunthe-mz4st]

This guide was SUPER important to our self discovery, thank you !!

[@RIPV-o2x]

how? why do you believe this stuff

[@Crimsons_giant_paws]

@@RIPV-o2x most people who don’t experience it don’t understand it. You’re no different. But let me see if I can explain it to you anyway :) I’ve always seen myself as non-human. All my life. I’ve subconsciously identified as a big cat since as far back as I can remember, and as soon as I learned about dragons I realized I was one of those too. I know I’m physically human, but I’m not human on the inside. It’s a fact that can’t be changed. I could reject my identity and pretend I’m human on the inside as well, but I tried that once and my species dysphoria only got worse because of it. I feel way happier and more comfortable accepting I’m not human. I’ve never known what part of me exactly is non-human (as in spirit or mind), but honestly I don’t really care. It doesn’t change my identity. I’m not human non-physically anyway. Does that make sense?

[@Taro425halp]

I don't want to IDENTIFY as an animal.. I just want to feel like one.

[@Thesecretlifeof_swift1e]

This is how I feel I don’t identify as one but I feel like one

[@Nyxzdragonzz]

When I was young, like 6 years old, I didn't even know therians existed, what they were and what they are. And I felt so depressed I wasn't a wolf..

[@MATCH4HEARTZ]

Hi! Before this video starts, this is my factors that I have: -I think it’s a canine - I VERY often have phantom ear- nearly daily, it’s annoying. -I Often get phantom tail -I feel that I have a long muzzle -Barking/barking vocals often catches my attention, or triggers a mental shift -I’ve had dreams where I could see black paws, or a black tail -I tend to crave meat often -I prefer the night over day, often staying up very late -I catch myself doing very canine sounding vocals often -I love my hair being touched or “pet” -I get sudden bursts of energy -I tend to be very aggressive/defensive during shifts, or phantom experiences -I have not yet had a shift where I can picture scenes, or past lives. Only mental shifts. -I feel as though I am a large animal -I feel like a pack kind of animal -I feel as though I could be a social animal That’s all I can think of!

[@Roseytheblossomfox]

Sounds like some type of wolf, could be a coyote but mostly wolf.

[@LittleMissHI]

Sounds like a Wolf or something similar!

[@R-ø-s-ē__C-h-ī-l-d]

I also have these and I found that I'm probably either a silver fox or a Northeastern wolf the way you describe it plus the black fur makes me wonder if your a timber or black Arctic wolf

Thank you sooo much for making this! This has been so helpful in my journey of awakening as a therian! I'm so glad you're on the internet Thorn!

[@Chloe-ng6ws]

Hello! I’m a recently awakened therian who is currently working on what theriotype I might be, please help me figure it out! Behavior Towards Human: I mostly just say “hi” to someone I just met before going back to what I’m doing and pray that they go away, because it makes me nervous if someone just stays there and I can feel their presence. To people I’m very close to, I usually joke around and sometimes be clingy. Non-Human Behaviors: Before I found out I was a therian, I would love to pretend I was a cat, crawling on all fours and doing vocals. I have a pet cat now, and I sometimes imitate her to feel more in place as a therian. Environmental Factors I feel the most calmest in waters, being in a forest is mid for me. I dislike hurting my hand while doing quads in the fields in my school. I also do not like the way the grass brushes around my hand. As for what I eat mostly, it’s meat. I don’t really like eating vegetables, but fruit is just fine for me, so I could be either an omnivore or carnivore. And I would be one of those animals who barely sleep, since I wake up VERY early in the morning and go to sleep VERY late. (Around 10:30 or 11:00) I’m a very group-kind of animal, although I sometimes need my personal space. My personality is mostly cheerful, although I can be quite snappy if I get riled up. I also feel sometimes sad that I am a human instead of an animal, because I don’t want to be cooped up in an entire world with a billion people I do not know. Other Details That Could Help: I have one tail I bought from Amazon, and I looked at your “Is my tail from a cruel fur farm?” video which I unfortunately saw when I bought it. It has no Asian lobster clamp (it’s a belt) and it isn’t quite fluffy, just pretty smooth. I’m scared that it could be a real tail since it sheds fur a lot and it doesn’t have just one color. (Its fur is white, then slowly turns to black until it’s pure black.) I haven’t tested the “set piece of fur on fire” test because I’m pretty sure nobody in my household would allow the youngest person in the family to burn something. I’ve chosen one type of cat to rest with until I find my true theriotype(s), and I am not sure if it could be a real theriotype for me or not. It’s a type of cat, called a Blue Lynx Ragdoll. Thank you for reading this! It’s alright if you do not know what theriotype(s) I have, since I have no idea either TvT

[@angelsunicorns1081]

you should question some felines who like being near water or you could be a mountain lion

Maybe you are a Tiger (because they like simming and are sometimes near water) or a lynx

Very helpful! Going to come back to this video if Im every questioning anything

[@SantiagoSolis-ee7ho]

I've honestly started feeling a connection to Wolves (and Werewolves) for about a while now. After some time of questioning and self-discovery, I decided that I wanted to be a Wolf Therian. I felt moments of sorrow and depressed-like thoughts and feelings that I felt an extreme desire to physically transform into a Wolf or a Werewolf and howl at the Moon and be one forever and permanently no matter what. While this is something that requires a list of specific signs hat you are a Therian, I really want to be a Wolf, behavior wise, mentally, spiritually, psychologically, identity wise, physically, and no matter what, I will consider myself a Wolf (and Werewolf) Therian from now on. I am a Wolf and Werewolf, in every single way, through and through, I choose this, this is who I am, and I am a Wolf and Werewolf.

It was a completely normal thing to me while i was doing it. im like 99% sure im therian (i also had a phantom shift when i went to sleep that i felt a paw in my feet.

am i a therian or sumthin else? (kinda long) 1) my whole life i have liked scratching and biting things, sometimes to the point where it's an urge 2) when i was younger, i had a HUGE obsession with animals (not in a weird way) and sometimes i would dress up as an animal (mostly a cat) and walk around on all fours, and meow and stuff. (i also ate cat food when i was younger, but only a few times😭) 3) i feel at home in nature, and i always have. i love nature so much, and i occasionally go into the woods near my house) 4) a month or two ago, i craved leaves and meat. i sometimes crave one or the other, but yh. I have also recently been wanting to eat meat, so kinda like a craving or sumthin 😭 5) i got species dysphoria for a bird i saw flying, and i wanted to have wings and fly and jst be a bird ig. i also have recently been looking at the sky and wanting to be there, idk. 6) i used to get urges to do animal vocals (any animal vocals) and quadrobics. most of the time they were easy to control, but occasionally it's harder to control it. (i still sometimes get those urges.) 7)i'm pretty sure one time i got species dysphoria for wings in general (this is only a maybe) 8) sometimes at school i just wanna jump in the grass and play in it, but i don't cz i would get embarrassed 😭 9) i love wearing tails, and if i can't, i like baggy clothes to make it feel like i have a tail. 10) i absolutely hate the sun, and i LOVE the moon and nighttime. it takes me awhile to fall asleep at night unless i'm genuinely tired. if i remember anything else i'll add it! :3

[@DeweyDrag0nzz]

Most likely but keep doing research!

[@SnowyTheFisher]

I think im a therian? READ: so for a long long time now, ive been thinking i was a therian, i believe i am because when i fall or stumble, i involuntarily turn my hands into that paw shape and i am on all fours when this happens too. Also i feel like i hate being in this human/city life and i ALWAYS want to just run away into the woods by a creek, and i just feel the urge to do quads in the woods, or make a den. I make dens in my room out of blankets, and i collect things i find outside and put them in ny collections pile. These are some reasons why i think i MIGHT be a therian. BUT i also have sone reasons why i might not. I dont neccesarily feel phantom ear/tail but i do vocals involuntarily sometimes... Also when i meditate or try to i dont see anything. Ive been told that im just "acting like a therian" for attention but the truth is that ive been like this since i could remember and when i lable myself as a therian, it feels like EVERYTHING makes sense now. So...am i a therian?

Am I a therian? - I often feel urges to make cat noise / vocal, and cats ( especially ocelots ) feel like home - I always feel like running in forest, grass feild, ocean ( but never desert ) - I sometime feel like as if my ears twitching ( idk whatever it is called ) when i got excited, but at the same time still feel like human ears?? - I dont do quads or know it, but get on four limbs feel right to me - I dont consider it a shift, but once ( or more than once i dont remember ) I just completely lost my thought on what i was doing and started running around the house and crap, and then I was back and progress what i had done, and I sometime freeze in the middle of my work and lost in my though of being an animal and then back “wait what am i doing?” -Being in nature or being free, being with other therians or watch them goofing around ( weirdly ) feel like home to me -I feel trapped in my busy life I dont consider myself a therian, though they look soooooo cool, but maybe im an otherhearted?

Am I therian? 1.I have loved cats, like every kid, but there’s something different, I have always felt connected with snow leopards, such as crawling on all fours, meowing, roaring, hissing, etc 2.I love nature, as we came from it, It has always felt different, like me wanting to hunt, running on all fours, and others! 3.

[@wilburthekemonomimi]

I'm not sure if I really am a therian, because I am a furry. Some things that have happened to me: 1) When I was about 4, I always used to do quads and hung out with my tiger plushie, and sometimes I growled, hissed, and had done scratch like movements in my hands. 2) I used to growl at my classmates when I was in year 1-2 when they got mad at me. I just realized that at the age of 7-9, I got convinced by youtube to stop doing animalistic actions and then forced myself to stop. 3) I always used to wear tails, ears, and "pretend" I have claws. 4) I have very sensitive hearing and tend to get jumpy at most times. I might have multiple theriotypes. 5) I've always been craving meat, oats, and berries, it always swaps from time to time. (Polytherian?)

[@LunaTheTimberWolf]

Those sound like signs of therianantophy! Id suggest doing more research tho

The first three sound normal and by choice, (most kids play as animals though that doesn't mean they're a therian,) and just because you wear tails doesn't mean you are one either. Not hating, just trying to clear it up!

Or almost. It curls around with me when i lay down/sleep. -sometimes, i have the urge to do vocals. (sometimes meows, but not always.) -i prefer savannahs and deserts rather than snowy places, but theyre both fine. -i almost dont have the urges to bite, different than some people. I only do so when im angry or hungry. -i get bursts of energy when i see my habitat, when i get shifts, i feel very light, or some sensation like that. -im more active at late afternoon and night. -when hunting, i pounce very rapidly. Almost like a fatal pounce. Usually on the arm or neck. (I even hurt my teeth bcuz i pounced at a plastic toy once. Using plushies since then.) -most of my shifts, i run a lot, and jump, im also very vocal at them. -i think im a feline, at most. -i get phantom tail very often. Sometimes, ear and paw too, but not as often. -i like being petted, even if i dont feel as much as a domestic animal. - sometimes i crave meat. but not that often. - im currently questioning to be a cheetah, and also questioned leopard back then.

[@angelsunicorns1081]

im happy i could send this video to my parents tysm for reposting it !! and tysm to my friend (now best friend) who introduced me to therians !! (i had phantom wings and i told her about it) she said im a therian i asked what that was i dont really remember what she said but i researched it last year late november/early december and now im a red fox and eagle therian, dragon otherkin, and warrior cats oc fictionkin (thistlepaw) sorry for the paragraph lol and if i didnt do proper grammar be quiet unless its actually hard to understand no commas/dots dont count

[@pheobethomas6119]

can someone tell me if these are non human experiences 1. chewing on random things 2. biting/licking myself 3. laying like a dog/cat sometimes i lay down on my sofa or bed sometimes even the floor like a dog/cat 4. watch bugs fly around the room idk why but when i see a bug flying around or crawling on something i automatically just watch it this happened 2 days ago i think possibly sooner and i was just watching a few bugs just crawl around on a remote 5.i always stay up late then fall asleep in the morning and when i stay up i have lights outside in my garden and i look out the window every once and a while to see if its on idk why i do this it just happens i believe these are non human experiences and if someone might have a idea on what my theriotype is i would love to know

I have a strong connection with nature theres a woods behind my house and it feels homey when i walk in its like a tingly happy feeling idk if im a therian but idk yet

[@Lilacpawzz]

When I was really young, I would always crawl around barking like a dog so when I found out about Therianthropy I knew I was a therian by heart and I still win. I go swimming. I like to do low hopes and then I found out that was a therian jump so I was like OK so I am a therian

[@JessicaBrown-o8t]

I am not sure whether I'm a therian or not, and here's why: I was scrolling through KZbin and came across some therian shorts, and after watching one after another, I felt like my entire life made sense, and that I had found my "people". I don't have the best memory, and hardly ever remember my dreams so I can't confirm whether or not I've shifted and/or had a dream where I was an animal. I do know that I'm connected with nature and love animals, have had the urges to just run on all fours and act like an animal, and have had phantom limbs (Just a few days ago I could feel animal ears on my head, but they weren't there and it was honestly kinda creepy 😅), so those do fit what the videos I've watched say but I'm still not sure can someone help me and give me an answer in the comments if that's ok

[@Kros_OnPaws]

One day I was watching therian vids and I thought I was a therian to😂 .I started to do quadrobux witch I loved.but then I thought back and I had fox like behaviour like I felt home in the forest or climbing is sorta my thing and I also had wolf like behaviour like I felt I live in a pack and I'm defensive of my territory and dragon like behaviour as well like i was feeling wings that wornt actually there and im so thankfully fur all the therian community altho i dont have therian friends yet but I know ill have a good future .

[@fenh123]

Just saying..if you feel like a dragon your not a dragon therian but otherkin (sorry if it came over like im rude i didnt meen to do that)

I have a question (anyone can answer) so like you know how in the video once you have looked up every possible animal that could possibly be you’re theriotype and you match up ever instinct and behaviour that you are feeling/haveing and it still just doesn’t feel like youreself-“me” well I always feel the urge to “meow” like a cat instead of speaking words but cats just don’t feel like “me” like I don’t see myself being a cat therian and I am a bit confused by that and I know it is possible I am a cat therian but I just need a little help with that problem (also I’m so sorry if this makes no sense. And also correct me if I said something wrong)

[@Galaxy_7575]

Thank you! Great informative video

[@CharlesGreenfield-c9h]

I'm an otherlink/funlink. Otherlink stems from copinglink- because some people did the whole deal for other reasons than coping. I do it mainly for fun, but also to find solace and escape my problems with my gender identity, and general identity, and sometimes I just want to melt into a blob of nothingness and doing quads and having gear helps a lot with that. It also gets me going and out of the house, which greatly improves my mental health.

[@Minty_Pawz290]

Idk if im a therian So cuple nights ago I was sitting on my my bed and I looked out my window and had a urge to howl And so I went outside and howled I think my sister heard me because she went outside and asked me “ what are u doing” after that I didn’t answer and ran in my room tbh it felt really good So idk if I’m a therian

[@Ivyy_0n_pawzz]

Does it mean ima not a therian bc. I have only had one shift for like 2 sec

[@Zipper_Pup]

Idk if I'm a therian or not but i had my first actual shift yesterday, I didnt realize i was human but just played :3 it was fun until after when i saw myself in the mirror and almost cried :,D

[@P1xel.C4tt]

Thank you so much, this helps so so much!

[@CuriousFox2]

Pls look at this comment I have a question So if you experience non-human behavior (basically a shift) ur a therian, but what if ur a contherian (therian that does not get shifts) ? How do u know ur a therian that does not get shifts? reply if you are also wondering

[@CatHogger]

Yall have any ideas on what theriotype(s) I could be? -feel like growling and hissing when angry -have small urges to dig -I have very big urges to run around on a forest floor. Sometimes, in my minds eye, I imagine myself doing so. -I think I have a very fluffy tail, about medium-sized, possibly longer. -ears that aren’t floppy -I sometimes purr -if I were an animal, I would be be solitary and quiet. I would be less trusting to others, but very affectionate and caring to ones I love, which would be a very small group. -I would eat mostly meat, but sometimes fruits and berries. -I prefer forests and woodlands more than snowy places, but both would be fine for me. -I get bursts of energy (usually) whenever I mental shift -when hunting, I put my paws quietly down, wiggle my hindquarters, then pounce. More of a stalking hunter. -during sensory shifts, my hearing gets better and everything is louder -more active at night. Definitely nocturnal. -feel long claws (sometimes extractable like cats) Thanks for reading! I am looking into foxes, but yall have any suggestions on any other animals or any species of foxes?

[@LittleTheCat5]

Maybe a wolf or feline! But your description sounds heavily relating to a fox

[@CatHogger]

@ those were my original guesses, too! Thanks for your input.

[@SkyllXD]

Hey i need some help knowing if i am a therian I have always been obsessed since i was a little kid about being an animal- sometimes i will dream about being an animal and it takes a toll on me for some reason- i have urges to run outside and i sometimes have an urge to run around like an animal- i used to be extremely misinformed and convinced myself i was a wolf therian- then a cat therian (which i was before this video) but i am now realizing i used to act like a dog a lot- i dont have a specific breed but i think i may be on to something. ANY TIPS AND SORRY FOR THE LONG MESSAGE Edit: i also have a giant love for meat- any kind.

[@DeweyDrag0nzz]

I'm pretty sure u might be a therian! Keep doing research but these are signs that u may be a therian ❤

[@Brookonpaws]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@eggos_thefurry]

What really chokes me up with therianthropy and involuntary behaviors is that for me it's kinda hard to tell if I am doing animalistic behaviors voluntarily or involuntarily... But I think it's involuntary

[@Psych0t1c_Cat]

I sometimes feel phantom fur

[@Bugbrat321]

Me too

[@cheetahstopmotions8289]

I occasionally get dream shifts (always the same dream, if I remember it) and also phantom shifts (ears, tails, and once claws) in early October I awakened as a therian, and recently discovered my wolf theriotype based on wolf-like behaviours… Also, is instinctively howling at the moon a shift/animalistic behaviour?

[@A_Goth_Duck]

I am a therian and know my therotype, just watching the video to make 100% sure im not identifying wrong. My therotype is a marble fox and red fox

[@articfox25]

Hello! I believed I was a therian for a long time, but now I’m starting to question myself and decided to restart my journey from the very beginning, questioning if I even am a therian. I know I’m part of the alterhuman community, but not the exact term for my experience. So I wanted to ask a couple questions: 1.- Can theriantropy not be present in childhood but develop during life? I ask this because when I discovered the term therian, I thought I was a cat (I wasn’t well informed) and I learnt how to hiss, now I use it instinctively when someone touches my stuff or as a “go away” gesture. I’ll edit the comment and add more if they come up, for now, here’s a list of my urges/instincts if anyone can help: • hissing • (don’t know if it counts but I’ll add it just in case) I sorta pounce like a cat or do like a frantic movement when I get startled • I go upstairs doing quads (unless there’s someone watching me) • (again don’t know if it counts) when my cat headbutts me to show affection, I headbutt her back like if I was a cat too • (maybe doesn’t count) I am mostly active at night Again, I’ll add more if they come up sooner or later. Thanks for reading and I hope you can share answers! Bye!

Guys I need help to find out if I’m a therian I often feel the urge to bite and phantom tail or ears, I feel like I have a animal soul, I sometimes get the urge to hunt or stalk prey in a field or snow or a woods I feel like I would be in a wood or a snowy woods and I often feel like a nocturnal animal and have quite a lot of phantom shifts, I rarely feel mental shifts (I think) however sometimes feel like I’m a coyote but KNOW I’m a human I have the urge to run in nature like a animal and do vocals ect. I may update if I get anymore feelings on it

[@CyBeR_F0xY_TiNCaN]

For all the fox therians and others with hunted theriotypes, I am afraid we may become paleotherians soon… (No hate on the paleotherians)

[@ShifterAether]

Yeah, y'all won't. Foxes are invasive and are pests in a lot of places. Despite them being hunted, I highly doubt they'll go extinct any time soon. I'm Australian, foxes are pests here, and have helped make about 13 species of mammals go extinct. I can assure you, foxes won't go extinct. They might go locally extinct, but they most likely will never go fully extinct. (No hate to foxes, they're cool, just pretty invasive)

[@Thorns_pawz]

I just realized I'm thorn to

[@Apollo292_99]

Can you identify with a specific animal through similar personality traits? Like for example if I saw that a crow’s personality was smart,social,talkative and I related a lot to those personality traits would that make me a therian or some other term or something else?

[@I_love_mahito]

Are these signs of being a therian? Wanting to hunt like an animal, wanting to do quads, wanting to do vocals of an animal, shaking my head and body like an animal (like shaking off water) and lastly..swimming like an animal?

[@PikichuIsPikachu]

Hello, i have a question.. does having the feeling to bite something (for example; objects and people) related to therianthropy? Because there is this once where i was just talking to my sister, then suddenly there's this feeling to bite(and chomp off) my sister's leg. It is so strong that i had to chew my finger to stop the feeling. And another thing; whenever i got angered, my mouth instinctively lifted up the side of my lip and showed my sharp tooth. And i like biting and chewing my plushie, both realising and sometimes not realising.

[@joyzalaiskalns1155]

1 of the things that help me figure out I was a therian is that I would bear crawl instead of like crawling on your hands and knees

[@VocalPandie]

Just cause your theriotipe isn’t on here doesn’t mean your not a therian it just means you have a uncommon or rare theriotipe

[@Thorn_The-Coyote]

hi i was gonna ask if i can make some fanart for you!

[@SkyOnPawsZz_yippie]

I've always liked cats and I can make really good cat sounds and way back before I even knew about therians I was already doing all of this but also running up the stairs on all fours and sadly drinking water out of a bowl 🥲
