Furry writer and artist who's here to have a good time and hyperfixate on weird gay animal people. Ask me about my characters!

Felura is so much fun to draw, I absolutely love their warm colors, fur pattern, general style. This was supposed to be a simpler sketch but we both got a little carried away, oops. Still I think I can be proud of the results here and that's what matters.
yes
anthropomorphic upper
non-anthropomorphic lower. you dont have to have legs to be a taur
merpeople are taurs
Usually "taur" refers to an entire whole-ass body cut off at the neck to replace the human's legs, though, unless you're talking about the specific case of the Minotaur where the human half is on the bottom.
Which is to say a naga and a merperson are not taurs... they're satyrs.
๐ค drew a diagram because this fascinates me
I guess the key difference between the two is indeed where the body is cut
satyrs uses the bottom half of an animal (like the back legs of something), while taurs use the whole body except the head
so most mermaids in art are satyrs, but they could be made into taurs
snakes are harder to define as they don't have much as for things to differentiate between body and tail. a real headscratcher, you could make a religion out of it
Snakes are more torso than tail, though the lack of limbs obfuscates that. Ergo, nagas (or lamias) are taurs unless you're doing something weird anatomically.
it so absolutely fucking did
