What is a Therian?

therians are people who identify as animals but know they aren’t

Some therians don't know what causes them to identify as non-human, but it is commonly known and accepted that therianthropy in itself is not a choice. It is also agreed upon that a therian can not pick or choose their theriotype/theriotypes. And many (but not all) therians identify as currently living animals, though it is not uncommon to see therianthropes who identify as extinct animals (paleotherian), fictional creatures (fictherian), or even animals that are considered mythical (theriomythic). It is also relatively common and entirely possible for a therian to have more than one theriotype; individuals that experience this are known as polytherians.
