IntroductionIn the labyrinth on the Isle of Crete, the Greek hero Theseus stands over thedying body of the Minotaur, a being with the head and tail of a bull but the bodyof a man. In the story, Theseus kills the only creature of its type in existence. Butthe Minotaur was not the first time people have imagined human-animal hybrids.In fact, these creatures are among us today—more numerous and varied thanever before. Ancient writers referred to these creatures, using a variety of terms:monsters, beasts and gods. In modern times, we can categorize allanthropomorphic animals (meaning animals with human characteristics) underthe broad term of furries.Adopted in the 1980s, the term furry has come to classify not just part-human,part-animal creatures, but an emergent culture of animal anthropomorphismenthusiasts. While the terminology is relatively new, evidence of furries instories and art can be traced back to the dawn of recorded history. The ancientEgyptians, for example, had animalistic deities such as Anubis, a man with thehead of a jackal. Anthropomorphic foxes, raccoon dogs and other animals were arecurring subject in classical Japanese ukiyo-e artwork. Further historicalexamples of furries can be found throughout the world, from Native Americanmythology to literary works.Having survived the test of time, furries permeate pop culture. Theycommonly serve as mascots for sports teams and companies. And who isn’tfamiliar with animation superstars like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? They’re furries too.Clearly, there’s a fascination with anthropomorphic characters. Perhaps this isbecause animals can personify characteristics like strength and speed, or imbue acharacter with a fantastical visual element. There’s also the appeal of animals inand of themselves.Whatever the reason, furries exist all around us, and chances are, you have an
