Video games with furry themed characters and/or themes in them.

[Heart of Darkness]

Why has no one said Soul Calibur yet? I would think Lizardman would have been stated by now...

 

[blunted]

Punky Skunk, Rocky Rodent, Aero the Acrobat, half the rest of the SNES library.

I'm pretty sure you kill furries in Ninja Gaiden. I distinctly remember lopping the heads off cat people and werewolves.

 

[Slash Dementia]

Juhani and Kaalbar from Knights of the Old Republic are furry.

 

[Gaderael]

Yes, it does. Anthropomorphism is giving human characteristics and traits to animals and inanimate objects. Nanaki can talk, is intelligent, and has emotions.

I think you'll find most animals can vocalise to some extent, are intelligent, and have emotions. Parrots are not anthropomorphic birds, for a start.

Furry itself is just slang for anthropomorphic animals.

Not really, more usually it's slang for the fandom thereof.

Yes, animals can vocalize and communicate to each other, in their own way of growls, grunts, squawks, or what have you. Some animals, such as the crow, are also intelligent, as you statted, but only to an extent. You seem to be misinterpreting what Anthropomorphism means. It means the animal or inanimate object can understand and communicate to humans, in human tongue, with human language, be it English, Japanese, Russian, and so on.

As for intellect, it means it can understand things on a human level, it's thought processes are that of a human's abilities. In your example of the parrot, while it can be trained to repeat phrases and even remember to use some of them to say it wants something, like "Polly want a cracker", it's not communicating on a true human to human level. If it suddenly started saying "I want a cracker, and make sure it's a Ritz, and maybe add a little cheese", or something similar, without having to be trained to say it, then it would be getting closer to being considered an Anthropmorph Parrot.

Finally, the word Furry is used to describe both the Anthropomorphic animal or object, and the fandom that surrounds it.

Parrots do not speak- they mimic. Nanaki can speak and not just copy/imitate sounds so he is a furry. It is true all animals do "speak" to some extent- but not human words. So because Nanaki can speak in human language that is a human characteristic that makes him a furry.

You seem smart enough to know this so I just think you're being adamant about not being wrong.

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT, STAR FOCKS.

 

[Swarles]

Conkers bad fur day. A very very very very very very very very Offensive game to some people. (Sorry if I overdid it.)

 

[hazabaza1]

Wait a tic, rogue galaxy? I thought that reptiles with human characteristics were called scalies, not furries.

 

[TheTygerfire]

I was disheartened by how long it took StarFox to get mentioned...

 

[funksobeefy]

I wouldnt call the Druid from Diablo 2 a furry

 

[furry-ryuu-ken]

Soon as i saw this i though Banjo Kazooie, i have always loved that game but does that make me a furry? My fav is BK:N'n'B i was the very first to make many of some awsome things.

 

[LogicNProportion]

Sonic the Mo'fuckin' Hedgehog.

 

[Koeryn]

I'm going to argue that the Druid in Diablo 2 doesn't count as a 'furry' character. He transforms fully into animals, and then fully back into his human form. There's no 'anthromorphic' form in between, and all of his forms are strictly animal or strictly human.

How is Werewolf strictly animal or strictly human when it's clearly a mixture of the two?

Have you seen the Druid's werewolf form? It lacks human characteristics.

Yes I have [http://bestgamewallpapers.com/files/diablo-2-lord-of-destruction/werewolf.jpg]

Opposable thumbs not a humanoid characteristic these days? Certainly looks like a healthy mix of human and wolf to me to warrant antropomorph status.

Ya know, looking at that image, the werewolf form looks like what you'd get if you crossed a wolf with the Witch from Left 4 Dead. xD

I thought "furries" were people who dressed up as animals in order to act out what their "spirit animal inside them" would want to do. In that case i don't think that most of these games and characters would qualify. They're more of the anthropomorphic animal variety...

 

[Chancie]

Shadow Hearts: From the New World

Mao the cat. I'm not quite sure if she counts, because she looks just like a big fat cat but she acts kind of human (walks on two legs, fights like a human with punches, drinks alcohol, talks, etc.)

Okami too, if Oki (and his entire village) counts. They're human that transform back and forth between human and wolf.

Legend of Kay. I've never played it but my friend has and I know you play as anthro cats in it.

Tail Concierto, also. You play as anthro dogs and cats.

 

[Lord Kodous]

Banjo Kazooie

 

[Snowden's Secret]

There are the obvious examples, i.e. Starfox, Conkers and Banjoe Kazooie, but I can also think of Ninja Gaiden 2, with Volf and his werewolf minions, plus Otogi 2's Tsuna.

Furries ARE anthropomorphic animals. Its a slang term. Or it can mean the fandom (people who like furries or have a fetish for them) But only some furries like dressing up in the fur suits. Most of the ones I know don't like it
..also, most of us don't believe the whole spirit animal thing =P
