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

• Danbooru post #1004239: mecha taur
• Danbooru post #4021268: golem taur
• Danbooru post #4405129: 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).
