What is a Therianthrope?

The more spiritual cousin of critter play.

What is a Therianthrope?
Generally accepted Definition: A person who experiences being and identifies as a non-human animal on an integral, personal level.

A therianthrope (or therian) is someone who experiences animalistic traits. There are some therianthropes who identify as something animalistic which may not have existed on earth. Theriomythics (mythical beasts such as dragons) are among these and it is an individual choice if they consider themselves to be therianthropes or otherkin.

There are many theories as to why therianthropy is experienced. Some believe their therianthropy to be caused through reincarnation or misplaced souls, while others attribute it to scientific or psychological reasons such as imprinting, an innate predisposition, abnormalities in neurological wiring, or any of a number of various other theories.
