I have noticed a mistake, therianthropy is not the act of shapeshifting into an animal. Therianthropy is actually involuntarily identifying as an animal(s) that either have or had existed in this world. That is just a simple explanation as therianthropy is a very complicated thing, but there is a therian wiki, too, so I do not see the need to give an extremely complex explanation. 142.162.204.225 (talk) 10:26, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the third item (which links to Otherkin) covers this. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 11:35, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
