A furry is a character which is of animal-likeness(Tiger, Panther, Fox, etc), that shows mostly humanoid traits(Bipedal, physical build, etc).

Mostly used as a roleplaying character, though there are those whackos out there that own costumes....

NOTE: This post is totally Out Of Character

If you play EQ, then you've likely seen a Vah Shir (see sigpic). That's a decent example of one kind of "Furry". A mix of human and animal, that has traits of both. Another good example would be Disney's Robin Hood. That was a "Furry Film" (ie, a film where are the characters were furries).

Speaking of Disney, their Lion King was an example of another kind of Furry. Not all furries walk like humans, some only act somewhat like them while looking like a normal animal.

Also, not all furries have fur. EverQuest's Iksar, and Sir Hiss from Disney's Robin Hood are examples of furrless furries.

Some furries are also based off of fantasy creatures. There are gryphon, unicorn, and dragon furries out there. For a good example of a Unicorn Furry (with an example of really BAD singing), check out the movie "The Last Unicorn".

Now, there are some subcultures of furries that do things that some others don't much care for. Just ignore them for now, some people on these boards don't much care for furries because of them.

I find that most problems can be solved by excessive violence.

Actually, you can't blame the computer geeks for this. Ancient Greeks had the Satyr, a sex fiend furry if there ever was one. They also had centaurs, another kind of furry.

Ancient Egyptians had various Furries as gods. Bastet, for example. American Indians had various "spirit animal" beliefs, which can also cross the line into furry (they even had animal masks, so fursuits are nothing new either).

Furry is an old idea, but computers and the internet have made it much more common. It's also brought out the fringe groups that have latched onto it. You can't say it's just nerds though.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Those things you cite aren't furries, by any stretch of the imagination. They were actually thought to have existed. They were part of the natural world.

Furries are the product of wishful thinking and fastasies (of whatever kind). They are a game, not part of the living, breathing world.

Anyway, my definition of a "Furry" is as follows:

"One who portrays themself as an anthropomorphic animal."

I find it covers all the bases nicely.

Some Furries get into it because of animal spirit beliefs. Those beliefs are as real as the beliefs of the ancient Greeks in Satyrs and Centaurs. It's just as much a part of their natural world.

Although, I do admit that it's only a small part of the furs that believe in that (I think). For your average fur, you're pretty much right.

However, how did they ever think up such things as Satyrs, Minotaurs, and Bastet? Someone, somewhere, had to make them up, and that person was making some of the world's first fur fiction. The fact that people believed him (or her) to be telling the truth doesn't change the inventiveness of the storyteller.
