Description
A character that is a living object. For example, the character can be based on household items, electronics and toys.
These characters may have dramatic changes to their physical form, and will mostly resemble an anthro, humanoid, or feral creature, with heavy visual references to their inanimate origin (e.g. anthropomorphic game consoles).
However, this is not always the case - living dolls, plushies, and scarecrows are almost always indistinguishable from their inanimate form, outside of clearly showing signs of life, due to their inherent resemblance to living creatures. Other animate inanimates may be almost completely identical to their non-living form, but with the addition of arms, legs, eyes, faces etc.
For non-living objects use inanimate object instead.
