furifying

Furifying refers to the process of transforming an object or character into a furry, typically in a fictional context. This concept is prevalent in certain fan art, animation, and literature within the furry fandom. The transformation can be depicted in various ways, ranging from a gradual physical change to an instantaneous one. Common themes associated with furifying include the adoption of animalistic traits, such as fur, tails, ears, and muzzles, often alongside a shift in personality or behavior to reflect the animal's characteristics.

The act of furifying can be a narrative device used to explore themes of identity, transformation, and the blurring of lines between human and animal. It can also serve as a creative expression for artists and writers who are drawn to anthropomorphic characters. The motivations behind furifying vary widely; sometimes it is presented as a magical event, a scientific experiment gone awry, or a voluntary choice by a character. The outcome of furifying is not always permanent and can be reversed in some fictional scenarios. The term itself is a portmanteau of "furry" and the suffix "-ify," indicating the act of making something into a furry.
