As far as I can tell, furrification always results in a different species than that of the original character. But would that justify also using the alternate_species tag, or should they only be used separately (assuming solo for simplicity's sake)?

^ Seems so.

If the character is depicted as a different species, then yes, alternate_species is applicable. ...and I don't see how it'd be possible to furrify someone without changing their species. No reason not to implicate furrification to alternate_species, as far as I can see.

Furrification is specifically for when a non-furry character gets turned into a furry. Alternate species is any species to any other species, so an implication would be useful.

The question: Should Furrification include avians (featheries?) and scalies too?

I'd think so, unless there's a specific change term for them (doesn't seem to be, at a quick glance). We already lump them under "furry" as far as furry/not-furry goes, in regards to relevance to the site.

Furry refers to the fandom. Not to fur.

Basically, we use the same definition as WikiFur: ...creatures that are also considered to be furry (even with the lack of pelt or fur) include (but are not limited to): dragons and lizards (also known as scalies and herps, respectively), Cetaceans (dolphins and Orcas), birds and gryphons (also known as featheries or avians), and taurs (centaurs being the prime example).

Wow so that's an actual usage of the word? I was wondering if I was the first one to start using it or what.
