Would furry anthros wear clothes?

Most fursonas do wear clothes. But putting aside the aesthetics factor and focusing more on the practicality-- would a furry anthro in an anthro society wear clothes?

Focusing solely on mammalian anthros with fur. Well, they have fur, so temperature regulation and the elements aren't really reasons to wear clothes given that they have natural, furry clothes already. Wearing clothes on top of that might be too warm, especially in the summer.

The thing I'm wondering is, would anthros figure out to make clothings themselves? And if they do, how would they look? Having their body completely covered in fur might make shirts and pants irrelevant, which means they might never develop them in the first place. I suppose other articles of clothings like armbands, headbands, etc would still exist, and so would practical items like glasses or watches.

Of course, clothing serves more purpose than just covering bare skins. They serve aesthetic purposes and shows our identity. For example, police

Bat Wings

When it comes to anthropomorphic animals, designs tend to go in one of these directions:

  • Embrace animal design and differences in anatomy
  • Mostly human design with animal aesthetic

What I'm trying to envision is a world where furries evolved closer to the human design, but not completely.

What I would like to discuss is, how do you think bats would have developed, particularly their wings?

The "easiest" implementation is give them back wings. But that doesn't make sense evolutionarily. Bat wings are formed from their arms and "hands". Having an extra set of limbs emerge that replicates their "arm wings" they lost seems unlikely.

Ok, so how about leaving the wings on their arms? Sure. But now I want to toss another problem in this world. Hands gave us the ability to manipulate our environment and make tools. I feel that would have been a necessary step towards human-like intelligence.

Let's say their phalanges shrunk to be more finger like. This along with being human-s

Taxidermy in an anthro setting

Of course it'd be pretty horrific to see a stuffed deer head mounted on the wall -- amongst a group of anthro deer especially, but amongst ANY anthro character too, I'd imagine.

But of course it all depends. Whenever we consider such things in an anthro universe, it inevitably comes back to this question of which creatures are "people" and which ones are "actually" animals. Feral versus anthro, I suppose.

My favorite example of this is: consider how the wildebeest in The Lion King aren't people -- they are just a mindless herd of animals into which Mufasa falls and then he's stampeded to death.

I don't really have a point here. I just wanted to share a thought that I had while writing my story, which is a setting where birds and fish are NOT anthro, and that's why it's "okay" for the seafood restaurant to have a giant swordfish mounted on the wall.

c/worldbuilding, a new old community for all your fictional worlds!

Welcome to worldbuilding your one-stop shop for all your fictional worlds. Whether it's for a D&D campaign, book you're writing, or a favorite hobby, if you're worldbuilding you're welcome here.

We're technically three years old as a community. However, we recently completely changed our moderation team and have begun to flourish. So, we're new in spirit.

As you can see, lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] is a lemmy.ml community, so we're experiencing some federation issues with all the posts being visible between the home instance and lemmy.world . However, I believe those issues will soon be resolved and we can continue business as usual.

Come check us out :)
