A Furry monster is anthropomorphic, in which human and animal characteristics are both present. It may be physical, mental or both. They may be serious or funny. Utilization of the term furry is limited almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other cultural groups aware of furry fandom. The term Furry is also sometimes used to refer to fans of the arts arts. Such artwork range broadly and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and actors, celebrities, voice talent, literary writers and songwriters.

Within the approved usage of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny creatures:" they are anthropomorphic, mostly behave like people, and may be regarded as the animation equivalent of character actors. On the flip side, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, along with the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (even though turtles don't have fur). They're usually more"realistic" in look than the funny animals and act more like crosses between people and animals. They are sapient and just as much"individuals" as any fictional character, but they are not presented as animals for laughs.

By fur con way of example, the rabbit 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 observed in real life rabbits. Other furries are not so closely tied to their own animal sides, but there is always some amount of serious consideration given for this.
