| abstract | - When "furry" loses one of its r's. Anthropomorphic animals have a difficult hurdle when it comes to becoming a Badass. For one, they're usually given roles as extras or side characters. Otherwise, they're generic henchmen or brutes for the main, noisy characters (on either side) to vanquish. On occasion, however, one will happen upon an anthro who's taken their requisite classes on badassery and come out with a 4.0. Not only do human heroes and villains alike find themselves in awe of their feats (often achievable precisely because they're not human), but even other members of their own race acknowledge their unique prowess. For viewers, their status as Certified Badasses makes them more palatable to those who aren't so hot on Talking Animals; and on the other end of the spectrum, those so inclined (and even some who wish they weren't) may find themselves taken with the unique mix of animal ferocity and human sensuality they exhibit. Your mileage is going to vary on this like it does comparing a Prius to a space shuttle, though. Badass Furries are anthropomorphic characters that exhibit the qualities of being a badass despite not being a human. They are so astounding that their peers, human or not, are taken aback at their feat. See also Big Badass Wolf for wolves in general and not just being a furry, and Animal Superheroes. Depending on how they are drawn/shown, werewolves may count too. May coincide with various animal related tropes like Mega Neko or Canis Major. Due to the fact that, at least in the west, anthropomorphic animal characters tend to inhabit children's shows, a lot of these characters are also an example of a Tailkicker (pardon the Pun). Characters leaning more towards the animal side are inclusive. In Japanese media, you may expect these characters to be voiced by Tetsu Inada. Examples of Badass Furry/Sandbox include:
