Theriotype

詳しく

A theriotype is the specific animal species that a therian identifies as on a deep, intrinsic level. Just as therianthropy describes the overall experience, the theriotype names the particular animal at the core of that identity. Common theriotypes include wolves, foxes, cats, birds of prey, and many others, but virtually any animal species can be a theriotype.

Some therians identify with a single animal (monotherian), while others connect with two or more species (polytherian). Discovering one's theriotype is often a gradual process that involves introspection, research into animal behavior, and honest self-reflection about which animal's instincts, social patterns, and ways of perceiving the world resonate most deeply.

It is important to understand that a theriotype is not a favorite animal or a spirit guide. It is the animal that a therian experiences as part of their identity. The distinction is between liking an animal and feeling that you are that animal on some fundamental level.
