paws

post #2021 post #945558 post #357216

An appendage (either a hand or foot) that is similar to the feet of most quadrupedal mammals (including digitigrade species (fox, wolf, cat, leopard, and plantigrade species (bear, mouse, rabbit). Many paws have claws and pawpads depending on the species. Some animals (like rabbits) do not actually have pawpads but may be depicted with them. Walking with paws may leave pawprints.

Hands that resemble paws are called handpaws, and for feet they are called hindpaws. Characters featuring handpaws are sometimes associated with semi-anthro characters.

Not to be confused with

  • paw_gloves - Clothing in the shape of paws should not be tagged as paws.

General guidelines

  • Hooves are not commonly referred to as paws.
  • The digits of a paw may be treated as toes, if treated as a foot, and fingers, if treated as a hand.

Interaction tagging

Depending on the nature of the interaction, a concept may be tagged as either a hand action hand_on_, or a foot action foot_on_, and sometimes a forepaw action forepaw_on_.

To find hand actions involving paws, it is suggested to search using this format: handpaw hand_on_face.

Related tags

  • claws
  • digitigrade - Such as the hindpaws of felids (felid/feline), and canids (canid/canine). Plantigrade hindpaws do exist in species such as bears, and some artists may hybridize paws with humanoid feet. Those types of hybridized feet might be considered paws, especially if they have pawpads, but some designs may be better described as only feet.
  • pawpads - Spongy like surface on the underside of many paws. Pads on the fingers are know as fingerpads.
  • pawprint - Also known as animal tracks, pawprints are the printed representation of paws.
