taur

A character having the full body of an animal, but with a humanoid torso where the animal's head would be.

Lamias, harpies, mermaids and similar usually do not apply, because their lower body is not a full monster body. There are exceptions (see below).

Common Types:

• centaur, humanoid torso on horse body
• arachne, female humanoid torso on spider body
• certain depictions of sphinxes
• certain depictions of arthropod girls and boys
• centauroid, umbrella tag for centaur-like animals that are not horses (goats, deers, etc)

Examples of uncommon types that still qualify for this tag

mecha taur

golem taur

whale taur (note that the lower body is a complete whale body, unlike most mermaids)

The following tags implicate this tag: arachne, centaur, and centauroid (learn more).
