Description

Anthrofied is when a bestial character (feral, anthro, animal humanoid, taur, etc.), or fictional species such as Pokémon, is depicted with either their animal or humanoid traits amplified or lessened to make them more anthropomorphic in appearance compared to their original form.

Scenarios

A feral is depicted with more humanoid traits and less animal traits.
An animal humanoid is depicted with more bestial traits, their existing ones are amplified, and their humanoid traits are lessened.
An anthro is drawn more humanoid or bestial depending on which side of the anthropomorphic scale they lean on.
A taur's or naga's secondary lower torso is replaced with bipedal legs and their upper-half is anthrofied (if they weren't already).

Anthrofying a character

In order to identify or make an anthrofied character, the following traits should be considered:

Essential Traits:

An animal's head (having this trait alone would make the character into an animal head, which is not a true anthro).
A body that is covered in fur, feathers, or scales (depending on the species).
A humanoid torso.
Humanoid arms and legs.
Bipedalism.
An upright posture.
