A similar term is "[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Gijinka gijinka]", similarly anthropomorphized creatures, animals or [[Mon|Mons]] who are regarded as ''actual'' creatures later [[Humanity Ensues|transformed into humans]], retaining only their most prominent features (again, mostly their original ears and tail) and/or special abilities (Mons especially).

This can overlap with [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]], depending on the setting; one of the most common (some would argue [[Cliche|overused]]) ways to invent a fictional race or alien species is to take a non-hominid animal and [[Intelligent Gerbil|anthropomorphize it]] to an extreme, resulting in a virtually human character with a few animal traits, or alternatively, an [[Petting Zoo People|animal head on a human frame]], complete with other human features like a pair of [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]. This is often [[Hand Wave|Hand Waved]] as an ([[You Fail Biology Forever|"Alternate Evolutionary Path"]]).

Compare [[Half-Human Hybrid]] for an [[Interspecies Romance|actual hybrid]] between a human and another species.
