The term Anthropomorphic Animals (Anthros, for short) can refer to any of three separate groups of races: Lylat Anthros, Anthros that hail from the Lylat System; Sega Anthros, Anthros from wherever Sonic the Hedgehog is from; and Animal Crossing Anthros. They are all animals who walk upright, with human features and intelligence, though there are differences between the three.
Common traits include:
Lylat Anthros
Lylat Anthros are from the Lylat system, and are the more bestial of the three types. Prominent canon Lylat Anthros include Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, and Wolf O'Donnell.
Defining Traits Include:
Sega Anthros
Sega Anthros are the oddest out of the three, and probably the most human in terms of characteristics. Prominent canon Sega Anthros include Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails the Fox.
Defining Traits Include:
Animal Crossing Anthros
Animal Crossing Anthros come from a commonwealth of the Mushroom Kingdom. Of the three types, they are the most animal in looks and vary the most in terms of having human-like personalities. Prominent Animal Crossing Anthros include K. K. Slider and Tom Nook.
