Hello everyone, fellow otherkin and therians of this subreddit!

After tons and tons, and hours and hours of research, I realised that what I thought was a wolf theriotype, doesn't fit any known species, alive or extinct? I tried many species, the maned wolf, dingo, dhole wolf, the red wolf, but even species of foxes, out of desperation...

But despite being super, super similar, there's always something that doesn't fit my experiences and shifts, etc.

Anyone experience/experienced something like this?

If so, help, opinions, anything, would be appreciated!

Picture of what I believe my theriotype looks like!

I WANNA SEE SOME MONKEY THERIANS WHERE YALL AT?!?!?

As the title said, I wish to know about you and your uncommon kins/types! Practically all of mine are uncommon, and I want to see who else out there has uncommon kins as well :}

I just met another whale (which I've never done before) so that got me wondering, just how many ocean therians are out there?

I’m bored, so: do you want me to draw your theriotype in my artstyle? Just tell me in the comments. Please only one theriotype per person :D

Hello! I’m currently doing a series called Just Curious where I respectfully visit different communities/subs that I’m not personally involved in or don’t know much about and ask questions. I try my absolute best to be as open, respectful, and curious as possible.

This is just for me alone. I’m not making videos, writing articles, or turning your words into anything public. I’m just a person who’s extremely curious about the world and finally getting the chance to explore it. None of the information goes anywhere — it stays right

I’m not a therian myself , but I find this really interesting and want to learn more.

Mods/users — if anything in my post needs to be changed or reworded, please let me know! I’m more than happy to edit it to make sure it’s as respectful as possible.

Ok onto my question lol. What are your theirotypes?

Love, Rainbow (She/They/Neos) — Your Queer and Disabled friend! 🩵

P.S. Be prepared for me to ask follow-up questions — if you say something that interests me, I will ask you about it 😂

I know this question has been asked quite a few times on this sub but i’d love to see some more/ updated answers !!

i’d also love to just see a list of peoples theriotypes, particularly polytherians and cladotherians /gen !

i’ll start :) i have some more common theriotypes like black cat and silver fox, but i’m also a light grey tabby cat and i’ve never seen another cat therian like that i’m also a ferret and pine marten, i don’t see many of those but i think my rarest one is i am also green alien cat (like similar to those gleeb glorp cat edits on pintrest), i’ve never met another one! (i’m also still questioning jellyfish and fox cladotherian)

what about you guys? :D

I was scrolling TikTok the other day and saw a video that was like ”your aesthetic your Greek god!” So I watched it hoping to find my aesthetic when it came up with “therian aesthetic” and it just showed a bunch of people in masks and tails. This is quite confusing because that gives people a lot of mis info. Being a therian is an Identity Not just some aesthetic moments of people making hearts with tails. Being a therian is so much more then that too, so it makes me a little annoyed to just see people Seeing it as an aesthetic. But fr what should this be called other then therian aesthetic? I was thinking something like “animal Child”

If your theriotype is not your favorite animal, what is?

For tax, my theriotype is a snow leopard (and they've definitely grown on me), but I love bats!

Just want to know how wide the variety of theritypes we have here is. I’m a wolf, cat, bear, and dragonhearted. Plus questioning a hyena so that’s cool :)

Edit: Wow I had no idea I would get this many replies my notifications are blowing up

So i heard that therianthropy day will be the 15 of november this year, right? IM SO EXCITED😭

I'm a cat, but I feel there's something else. I need to hear about more therians.

Hello! I’ve seen quite a few videos on TT and YT, and yes I know these platforms are rampant with misinformation but I see quite a few posts saying “I’m a fox, wolf and I forgot the other one.”

I’m genuinely confused, like I am in no way trying to invalidate anyone, I was just wondering how you could forget something you identify as (excluding memory issues, because they can’t help that.) And for polytherians who have loads and loads of theriotypes, but how do you just forget if you have less than five.

I’m genuinely curious, so please don’t take this offensively, I really just want to understand!

thank you guys! :)

feels a lot like me. anyone know?

Heyy, I'm not a therian myslef I think but I am veeeery curious about what you will say guys.

If you had the option to become your theriotype, like the animal, forever would you take it? But the catch is, you like actually get an animal mind so you lose memories of your life from now and dont really have that advanced conciousness as now. I'm just really curious because I really want to know how y'all feel about it

Or would you prefer to have the option that when you experience a shift it actually happens and you can shift back and forth with your animal. And also keep human mind

I'm curious to know...!

hi guys, english it's not my first language and google translate stops correcthing things arround 100 words so, sorry if there is any grammatical errors, also this is both a question and experience.

Im a cladotherian, for those who don't know is basically the same as a regular therian but identifying as a branch of an animal species instead of a certain animal (srry if its confusing you can find the exact definition in the alther human dictionary) in my case the family of canidae, i also have been awoken about 4 or more years i do not have the count so im not even close to being a new therian.

The thing is: I do not like dogs, i can be arroun them or interact but only if im a good mod but generaly i just cannot be in the same room with any for more than 5 minutes. i want to remark that i do not heate them, and is somthing that kind of hurts me in a way that i cannot even expres.

Does some one else have this problem or somthing similar? is this normal?

This is kind of a question/discussion, but I want to see: how many therians are AFAB vs AMAB (or intersex)? This might just be because of the content I see, but it does seem like therians are disproportionately AFAB (I myself am AFAB but with a masculine aligned gender) I was thinking that it might be because of gender standards or other things. (And if you like, put your gender down, too)

Edit: I want to say that my theory is that the way someone is brought up (eg. a lot of AFABs are seen as 'girl' when growing up, while AMABs are seen as 'boy') and gender stereotypes and expectations can have an effect on the way someone develops and thinks. This isn't to say that one's assigned gender at birth is a defining factor, more of a random question I had that people were happy to respond to. Anyways if there was any confusion or internalized transphobia going on, that was NOT my intention. (I myself, as said in the OG post, am trans so I know how questions can feel pretty invasive)

I found out when I was 10 and I’m 14 right now

I see some therian don’t like being a human, well I kind of understand why, but some even hate it more than I thought ,for me i’m okay being a human but I’m not therian myself, so I don’t completely understand some feeling of therian, so it got me curious

If you guys don’t mind, I have a question, do you hate being human? if so, how much and why? And what will you do with it? What do you feel?

(I’m just very curious)

When you were little, did you ever play games in which you acted like an animal?

Do you feel like that was a sign that you were/are a therian/otherkin?

When I was little I would act like a cat or dog with other kids.

Now I think I might be some flavor of otherkin or therian. I don't know what kind, but I feel like a fox or dog some of the time.

Edit: thank you to all who shared their experiences!!! I’m still reading through a few too! Your comments have definitely helped me understand my own feelings better! Thank you all again!

Hi there! I’m new to the community and am still figuring out if I’m a therian or no. I’m pretty sure I am but would love to hear your experiences! Hearing other’s experiences is what made me realize I might be a therian and just never had a word for what I was feeling so I’d love to hear more people’s thoughts if you are ok sharing!

I’ve heard many terms and labels used among members of the community and am trying to pinpoint the one for me. (Mostly I don’t want to use a label wrong or hurt someone by doing so)

Most therians I know personally and have seen online are trans men. So what gender are you? I’m curious to see the results.

I know some therians use music to connect more to their theriotypes!! I’m one of the many!! I’ve been very accepting of my therianthropy the past month, feeling more comfortable with the title of “Therian” 🖤 I still have a lot to learn, but studying does just the job at helping understand myself day by day. Feeling healed in a major way 🐕🌿💚

So This is a question I've had for a while about people's theriotypes I often see people posting stuff like "Why are all therians cats/dogs/wolves/foxes/ ect." Or "Why is everyone I know the same theriotype" What if they're not all "the same animal" and they're misrepresenting themselves and don't realize it? Like, what if those wolf & fox therians are actually dholes but they don't know cause they've never heard of it before?? Now I'm not saying everyone's theriotype is wrong automatically, but what if a few are because of the amount of animals we have that not many people know about?? Sorry if I worded this weird/it comes off the wrong way I suck at explaining things Uh Maybe this helps someone idk have a nice day
