What are quad and anthro RPs, and whats the difference in them?

Question

can someone explain what they are to me? thanks xD

Answer 1

In case you didn't know, both quad (as in, quadruped) and anthro (as in, anthromorphic) are roleplay with animal characters. These animals may or may not have magical powers or have lived a past life as a human.

In quad RP, the animals move and act more like their real-world counterparts. For example, a quad wolf would move on four legs and probably live in the wild with a pack. The most common types are wolf, horse, and wild cat, but you'll see plenty of others.

Anthros take on human-like characteristics. They walk on two legs, wear clothing, and use technology much like humans would. You tend to get a bit more variety as far as species go, and you're also more likely to see other fantasy elements.
