feral

An animal character that is depicted in its natural (real) form.

Ferals usually move on four legs (if they have legs at all), but this category also includes naturally bipedal animals such as kangaroos, birds, and various dinosaurs. In these cases the difference between anthro and feral can be subtle, but can usually be determined from the neck and shoulder shape, and the overall posture.

Fictional creatures are also included, if they resemble real animals.

Species that are normally quadrupedal (such as all feline, canine, and equine species) are by default either anthro or animal humanoid when drawn as bipeds. For example, a fictional canine-like species that walks on two legs is anthro, because feral canines are quadrupedal.

Non-animal characters such as plants or animated objects should never be tagged as feral.

Note that for tagging purposes, the level of intelligence (sapience) does not matter. For example, Scooby-Doo is still a feral even though he thinks and talks just like his human friends.

Most hand_on_* tags are applicable for feral characters concerning their fore limbs. For example, a dog holding its fore paw on another character's head should be tagged with hand_on_head. See also tag_group:touching
