{{Monstergirls}}

Beastfolk get the [[monstergirls]] treatment fairly readily. Indeed, they're often argued as some of the most basic-level monstergirls who actually '''look''' inhuman, in contrast to [[elves]] (humans with pointy ears), [[dwarves]] and [[halfling]]s ([[shortstack]]s) or [[gnome]]s ([[shortstack]] elves). [[Catgirl]]s and [[cowgirl]]s are extremely well-recognized monstergirls for a reason, and other beastfolk readily get the same treatment.

At their most basic, monstergirlified beastfolk consist of a human girl with animalistic ears and a tail on an otherwise human frame (taking some liberties for beasts that don't have ears, like lizards). This is the most recognizable form of beastgirl, to the point that /a/ has its own word for it: ''Kemonomimi'', meaning "Animal Ears".

However, these monstergirls cover a wide spectrum, with multiple different sorts of animalistic traits that can be added. Now, species plays its part, but some of the common traits include:
* Limbs partially or wholly in fur/scales/chitin
* Paws, claws or hooves in place of feet.
* Paw-like hands.
* Partial patches of fur/scales/chitin on the body, usually emulating exotic lingerie or costume pieces.
* Clawed fingers/toes.
* Missing digits.
* Fangs or other oddly shaped teeth.
* Other, stranger traits depending on species - multiple nipples and/or breasts, gills, and so forth.

The rarest format of all, usually associated with anime-emulating artists, is the "very near anthro" -  you have what is basically an anthro, but with a human's face under a thin layer of fur/scales. This design-style is hugely [[skub]]by even outside of /tg/; the face is visibly human, but there is no visible separation between the human parts and the monstrous parts, in contrast to the traditional "human girl wearing a costume" look of beastgirls. But this does beg the question, is it still a monstergirl, or it is a female anthro? Internet wars have been fought over this question, and neither side will give any quarter.
