Introduction
Beastmen are generally considered to be fantasy animals with human characteristics or characters made from animal anthropomorphizations that have more human characteristics. It shows that it has a certain degree of human intelligence mentally and can understand the human language, physically it retains its animal characteristics, such as a wide mouth, a body covered in fur, and at the same time has a few human elements, such as a body structure suitable for walking upright and the ability to control limbs more flexibly.
In addition to appearing as furries or OCs, beastmen usually appear in literary and artistic works as a type of illusory race. Since there are no strict definitions of beastmen, the beastmen described by each author will be somewhat different. If a specific work has a strictly set concept of a beastman, that is exclusive to that specific work.
Connection with the word Furry
At the level of "fantasy animals with human characteristics spawned from anthropomorphic animals", "furry" refers to a wider scope than beastmen. In addition to beastmen, it also includes anthropomprphic animals that lack human physiological characteristics. In Europe and the USA, it also includes beast girls and other demihumans with animal characteristics. In addition, "Furry" can also be used to describe the subculture that these belong to.
In fact, when referring to beastmen, "furry" is more commonly used.
Similarities with demihumans
Orcs and demihumans are independent. Both are general terms.
"Demihuman" refers to "fictional humanoid creatures that can stand on two legs, look human, but have non-human characteristics". "Beastman" generally refers to "animals with a high degree of anthropomorphism, close to human body shape, and walk on two legs".
Differences from werebeasts
"Werebeast" does not refer to humans who can become beastmen, but creatures that can switch between beastman and human.
