It takes a lot of effort to share these. I give up if people will accept burkas as crime-fighting costumes, bring on your merlion fursuits! It was a “goat-antelope”.Īnd speaking of Pakistan, have you seen its Urdu-language TV cartoon masked heroine who fights crime in a burka, Burka Avenger? A burka is about as efficient a crime-fighting costume as a wedding dress would be. Except it was not called a tur, doubtlessly because the English public would not know what a tur was. People were warned not to get close to it, and to let the police capture it. Last month (September 2018), BBC News announced that a wild tur had escaped from an English zoo and was loose in the western English countryside (“the English Riveria”). But there are a few fursuits with majestic horns.) Hey, there aren’t any markhors in furrydom! (Fursuits are uncomfortable enough without wearing those huge, twisty horns. Probably the real-life markhor, the national animal of Pakistan, was too far into the East (it’s the Himalayan equivalent of the Rocky Mountains’ Big-Horned Ram) to have been an influence for the yale when it was created in Pliny the Elder’s day. The yale was first described by Pliny the Elder (23-79 A.D.), and may be based upon the ibex. Wikipedia describes it as looking antelope- or goat-like, with exaggerated tusks like a boar or saber-toothed tiger, and large horns that it can rotate or swivel in any direction. The yale is a little-used heraldic animal, like the enfield. It is a popular monster in Filipino comic books. It is probably based on the first-seen horses brought to the Philippines by the Spanish in the 16 th century. It has been depicted as everything from a horse-headed and –hoofed man to a demonic, fanged, fire-breathing black horse. The tikbalang is a Philippine mythological demon based upon the horse. The merlion is also the mascot of Svirstroy, Russia, on the Svir river shown on its city flag. ![]() (Is the merlion being cruelly used in circuses?) Our thanks to MikasiWolf, a native of Singapore, for sending us these images. Although the merlion may look ungainly, there have been merlion characters in anime and video games, and there are merlion mascot costumes in Singapore. It is the official mascot of Singapore, and was in fact created by Alec Fraser-Bruner for the logo of the Singapore Tourism Board in 1964. This half-lion, half-fish may be the best-known of these, because it is a popular symbol of Singapore. Those who have used the enfield in heraldic art have shown no agreement upon color the enfield has been shown in scarlet, green, blue, or golden. Wikipedia says of this heraldic animal, “The Enfield has the head of a fox, forelegs like an eagle’s talons, the chest of a greyhound, the body of a lion, and the hindquarters of a wolf.” An enfield fursuit would probably look like a badly-designed griffin with a fox’s head. This is another fursona that is more practical in fan art than in fursuits. Presumably Doove, who is active in Oz fandom and usually comes to America every year for Anthrocon, will give other fans if asked to use his chakats. There are no chakat fursuits, but Doove’s fursona is Chakat Goldfur. Jordan, permission to write chakat stories. There are also foxtaurs, skunktaurs, and others, originally created artificially but now (in the 24 th-century) breeding naturally. He has written several novels set in the Chakat Universe, with covers by furry artists that illustrate the four-legged cattaurs. The chakat, a 24 th-century alien feline centauroid, is the creation of Melbourne furry fan Bernard Doove. There are not any salmon in furrydom, with or without antlers. This would probably be more suitable for badge art than for a fursuit. A salmon plus a reindeer’s antlers give us this image. It is known for its salmon and trout fishing. The village is on the shore of Lake Inari, the largest lake in Lapland. This is on the coat-of-arms of the municipality of Inari, Finland, in far northern Lapland. But they’re real in the lists of mythical animals. Frankly, some of these are probably unused because they look so ungainly, or are too impractical to exist. There are still a number of exotic fantasy animals that you can choose among that are almost or completely ignored in furrydom. Submitted by Fred Patten, Furry’s favorite historian and reviewer.ĭo you want something different in choosing a furry persona? Are the usual anthropomorphic wolves, foxes, cats, otters, and bears too overused in your opinion, ever with bright neon fur or wings or horns? Even dragons and unicorns are too common in furrydom for you? ![]()
