Edit
An anthropomorphic animal; a character based on an animal but with human traits. Body fur, feathers, or scales are common. Characters that have only tails or ears are not considered furry, use kemonomimi mode instead.
Scalies and other anthro animal characters without fur like birds and bugs still count as furry.
"Kemono" is the Japanese equivalent of the term "furry", with fans of such being called "kemona" or "kemoner". Just like with furries in the west, there are numerous subcategories and subcultures within.
Monster girls or ordinary human characters with animal ears do not qualify for the furry tag.
