	The furry fandom is inspired by several types of media involving anthropomorphic animals from around the world, such as written works, video games, and animation mediums such as [[Special:MyLanguage/Community:Anime culture in VRChat\|Japanese animation]] (anime). People often find themselves joining the furry community through shared interest in these characters from overlapping media.		The [[Wikipedia:Furry_fandom\|furry fandom]] is inspired by several types of media involving anthropomorphic animals from around the world, such as written works, video games, and animation mediums such as [[Special:MyLanguage/Community:Anime culture in VRChat\|Japanese animation]] (anime). People often find themselves joining the furry community through shared interest in these characters from overlapping media.

	A unique characteristic within furry subculture, is the creation and identification of original characters and avatars that may represent their creator, or likeness. These characters are typically referred to as a ''fursona'' (a portmanteau of ''furry'' and ''persona'', often shortened to simply '''sona'').

They can each have potentially different personality traits or interests, depending on their purpose. In Japan and other eastern countries, furries (kemoners) sometimes interpret their own anthropomorphic creations (kemono), not as a reflection of them, but instead as a unique person who can experience the world, and have various milestones in life.

	Furries may own a wearable full-body, or partial-body ''cosplay''<ref>[https://furscience.com/research-findings/fandom-participation/2-8-fursuits/ '2.8 Fursuits'] on Furscience, published by the International Anthropomorphic Research Project (IARP); retrieved September 12, 2024</ref> of their fursona made for them to wear in person, also known as a ''fursuit''.

Fursuits are comparable to real-life representations of an avatar. While fursuits pre-date VRChat, they are still a notable way to express a fursona, or their likeness at a convention or meetup. Acting as one's character, or dancing in fursuit is identical to performing in costume, much like live theatre.

	Anthropomorphism has been recorded in human expression for thousands of years. One of the earliest examples for this, is the pre-historic [[wikipedia:Lion-man\|Lion-man]]<ref>http://www.loewenmensch.de/lion_man.html</ref> figurine, created about 40,000 years ago. Cave paintings throughout time, display interaction between animals and humans. Mythological Egyptian and Greek gods, goddesses and creatures, such as Anubis, Ra, Proteus, or the Minotaur are fables involving human-like bipedal creatures from ancient times, passed down for generations.

	Modern art and literature containing anthropomorphic animals have been expressed by humans over the past few centuries, however, the biggest influences for the early furry fandom are 20th century science fiction, and animation. Notable examples of this are Kimba The White Lion, Albedo's Anthropomorphics, and Disney movies such as Robin Hood (1977), and Pete's Dragon.
