If you’ve been on TikTok recently, you may have heard the term ‘therian’ thrown around. While the therian community is fairly new, it’s a rich and fascinating subculture, with new members joining every day. In this article, we’ll offer you a comprehensive guide to therians, explaining what they are, debunking some common misconceptions about them, and offering advice to determine if you might be a therian yourself.
- A therian identifies as a species of non-human animal on every level except physical. They often engage in their animal identity’s behaviors.
- You may be a therian if you notice yourself shifting (getting impulses to behave as a non-human animal) or if you remember a past life as a specific animal.
- There are other unique types of therians, such as polytherians (who identify as multiple species) and paleotherians (who identify as extinct animals).
