Furries are part of the greater furry fandom. Besides referring to fans of anthropomorphic characters, furries are also the anthro characters themselves.

adjective•
A person (albert.#6969) who has a large interest in anthropomorphic animals (animals who have a human qualities be it simply talking or having a human-like body)

A furry is a person who is a fan of anthropomorphic characters, or animals that behave and have some characteristics of humans (like Zootopia).

A furry usually is someone who creates an anthropomorphic character based on their personality, or a personality they wish they had- called a fursona (furry persona).

If they have enough money, they spend a few thousand dollars on a fursuit, which is basically a mascot but with more padding, and they are only expensive because they are made by individual artists, as opposed to a huge company.
Some furries don’t have fursuits, like popular YouTuber Blu the dragon. Art is a huge aspect in the furry fandom. Most furries are REALLY good at drawing, so they draw their fursonas doing something, like playing tennis or doing homework. Not all furries can draw, though.
Some people see the furry fandom as a sex-crazed fetish, but there is only as much of a sexual aspect to it as there is to being human in general- it is what you make of it. The media likes to exaggerate about the furry fandom, except for a few articles by CNN and documentaries by MSNBC, BBC, and VICE.

Above all, the Furry Fandom is basically the world’s most misunderstood subculture.

1.noun; A fandom of people who are animal enthusiasts who usually draw or have anthropomorphised animal characters. There is two main sides of the furry fandom. The SFW side, which is quite a bit larger than the NSFW side, but usually keeps quiet due to the reputation the NSFW side has given the fandom. Most furries are not interested in beastiality or fetishizing anything related to furries. And then we have the NSFW side. The fandom is judged largely by the NSFW side, which most other fandoms have NSFW sides, and their reputation isn't based on that, so it doesn't really make sense.

2.adjective; Fluffy, having fur, fuzzy

An Person That loves wearing costumes based off animals, they're known for being hated due to furry sex which mostly furries don't really do.

A person who is interested in/attracted to the idea of anthropomorphic animals.

The furry subculture is stereotypically associated with only wearing elaborate ‘fursuits’, however it is argued that there are different tiers of furry.

Some furries show some interest in the subculture and partake in the communities. This could be an attraction to a cartoon anthropomorphic animal, or simply liking furry art. However there are some hardcore furries, whom will most likely own a fursuit and have a fursona. Some individuals believe themselves to be non-human and do not identify as anything other than the animal they are portraying. Sometimes they even engage in sexual activity, which in the furry fandom is known as yiff.

Some furries can often be identified by their actions, and habits. Some examples of furry behaviour is making animal noises, partaking in furry communities, showing interest in furry orientated games and even mentioning furry related things as casual conversation.

Furry is often used as an insult, however to those in the furry fandom it is a way of life.

To be a fan of or largely intrested anthropomorphic creatures, furries can often be seen in animal costumes dressed as foxes or wolfs aswell as other animals they're often discriminated against largely due to the odd nature of the fandom. Some people believe being a furry will lead to a form of beasteality because of the more sexual side of the fandom often containing porn of comic animals with anatomically correct genetalia which is concerning to say the least.

A person that most likely identifies as an animal, or a soy sauce packet. This in some cases is not true. Some are known as cosplayers that dress up like animals.
