| '''Beastfolk''' is a term in /tg/'s lexicon used to collectively refer to any race which can be defined as a humanoid animal, an unofficial kinsfolk to terms like [[demihuman]] and [[goblinoid]].

| |
| Firstly, beastfolk being no better than furries is itself part of the anti-furry meme, and the argument erupts pretty much whenever there's a slow day. A good way to say it is "all furries are beastfolk, but sometimes not all beastfolk are furries". {{BLAM}} {{*BLAM*| HERESY! SUFFER NOT THE FURRY'S LIES, LEST THEY LEAD THE FAITHFUL ASTRAY.}}

|
| |
| When they hear the definition of "beastfolk" as "anthropomorphic animals", a lot of newcomers will ask just what the difference is between them and furries; after all, /tg/ hates furries, and yet most anons don't seem to mind, or even actively approve of, beastfolk. Well, the difference is that, on /tg/, a furry is defined not only by its anthro aspects, but also by being a creepy little perv; it's that point when beastfolk get crossed with shameless [[magical realm]]ing and get stirred with the elitist attitude of [[That Guy]]. The [[Chakat]] are furries, but Mickey Mouse and cohorts are beastfolk.
| |
|
| |
| Having beastfolk in your setting, or playing a beastfolk character, isn't inherently bad (though don't say that within earshot of your local [[Commissar]]. Even having some level of sexuality isn't bad - /tg/ can appreciate a [[musclegirl]] in a [[Fantasy Armor|chainmail bikini]], even if she's wearing it over scales or fur (though many will argue over the amount and distribution of those attributes). [[Magical Realm|It's when you ramp up the sex level to the point the others at the table are creeped out that you've crossed the line.]] Especially if you claim "persecution" when others call you out on that shit.
| |
|
| |
| Mind you, as much as jokes are made on pages like these, there are some anons on /tg/ who assert that the only "real" way to present beastfolk - or ANY non-human race for that matter - is as [[Beastmen|mindless ravening monsters who have no culture]] and [[Beastmen (40k)|exist only to be slain]], insisting that even the slightest hint of culture makes them furry (or if they do have culture make them [[Skaven|Furry Nazis]]). Most ignore these people, as they are likely just trying to stir shit.

| |
| ==List of Beastfolk==
| |
| There are a ''lot'' of beastfolk races in /tg/ media, probably because "take an animal and make it humanoid" is as easy a way to come up with a distinctly "alien" race as any. Weird fact is, most of them come from [[Dungeons & Dragons]], or at least have spread from there to other /tg/ media. Beastfolk as a concept are ''old'', going all the way back to Basic Dungeons & Dragons or even to [[Runequest]] (the [[Broo]] aren't ''always'' evil there, after all).

| ==Monstergirls==
| |
| {{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.
