Category:Anthropomorphic

From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe

Anthropomorphism describes animals, inanimate objects, forces of nature, natural or supernatural phenomena and other nonhuman beings who have for a variety of reasons uniquely human characteristics and qualities. The term is derived from two Greek words, ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos), meaning human, and μορφή (morphē), meaning shape or form. [1] Characters associated with Furry Fandom would fall under this category, as would some elemental personifications. This category should not be used for those characters which more accurately fall into other specific categories, such as "Avatar" or "Animal".
