What are Mythical Fursonas and Why They are Growing in Popularity

The Furry Explained Show with Finn the Panther

In this week's episode, we explain what mythical fursonas are! One of the foundational pieces of being a furry is creating a fursona, which involves choosing the species to represent that anthroporphic animal character. But there's only so many real animals to choose from, and in a fandom that encourages uniqueness, it can be hard to stand out. So to address this, many prospective furries have gone to not-so-real animals to base their fursonas on, including a group of animals known as mythical creatures. So on this episode, we take a look at some of these mythical fursonas, explore why they are increasing in popularity, and even make a new character for ourselves to understand why these creatures are taking over the fandom!
