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
