==I'm Now 18 and Always Was and What Is This?==
[[File:FurryVsMonstergirl.png|thumb|right|400px|Anon explains the differences between furries and monstergirls.]]
Alright, you've probably heard of the [[Furry]] fetish - for all the absolute hate it gets on /tg/, it gets mentioned around here enough. Monstergirls aren't furries - /tg/ is '''very''' adamant about this, and if there's one thing more likely to get you ballbusted than bringing up furries, it's trying to argue about the difference/lack thereof between the two. Monstergirls are where [[/tg/]] and [[/d/]] have their greatest overlap - sexy, decidedly not-human, girls who happen to be among the things everyone on /tg/ loves the most.  To put it simply, were [[Rule 34]] and a [[Dungeons and Dragons]] Monster Manual to have [[/d/|hardcore ball-busting sex]], monstergirls would be the product of their sweaty lust, and both parents would look upon their children with pride.

In essence: Take a monster and add bits of female human anatomy until you have something left that's fairly sexy. Then, for good measure, add a bit of behavioral changes similar to the creature before. The most common form of this, especially from [[Weeaboo]] artists, is basically a human girl with tails, ears, inhuman limbs, spikes, [[Abyssal Merfolk|tentacles]], or whatever; they often ending up looking like cosplay creations if not handled well. Ironically, more monstrous-looking monstergirls (lizardgirls with scaled human faces, for example) are just as likely to be blasted as being "furry scum" as they are to be defended by fa/tg/uys. 'Better' yet, animal monstergirls like centaurs, minotaurs and harpies suffer the most from the constant quarreling over where the line between monstergirl and female not-quite-so-furry lies, but /tg/ is generally willing to ignore the furriness of anything an actual furry would happily call a "20% or less furry".

The Japanese like to use the term "Kemonomimi" to describe this kind of girl, which literally translates as "animal ears". Most otherwise animalistic monsters fall under this category by giving them more human features than their original versions (i.e. harpies, minotaurs, sometimes sphinxes, etc). [[Gnoll]]s and [[kobold]]s occupy an uncertain place in particular, since even most MG fans can't really picture them without a bestial-looking face... except this is totally not the case. Go to ANY furry board, especially Fchan, and you will find long arguments about how monstergirls ARE furries. And oddly, lot of furries do not want this to be so, yet others insist on it. 

In /tg/'s eyes, the difference is this: There's anthropomorphic fans; people who dig humans with animal features. This is common and HARMLESS, and these people can be found in dozens of different boards.  Hell, there's even [[Touhou]]s with Cat Ears.
:''"Girls with cat ears are so cute!"
This is normal, and there's nothing wrong with this.

Then there's [[Furry|furries]] who have a sexual fetish for people-shaped animals, or who want to be people-shaped animals '''AND''' dress up as animals.  These people are hated but they're usually not so ba- {{BLAM|<nowiki>*BLAM*</nowiki> Showing one atom of ''sympathy'' is '''HERESY!'''}}
:<s>''"Oh god, [[Chakat]]s are totally hot, I'd do them so hard"</s>
::{{BLAM|HERMAPHRODITE ALIEN FURRY EROTICA? {{BLAM}} {{BLAM}} Stevens? Yes, si- {{BLAM}} [[Extra Heresy|'''TRIPLE HERESY!''']]}} 
As you can see from our friend the [[Commissar]], this is [[Heresy]] to be shunned.

Please, they are just a bunch of fu{{BLAM}} anyone who try to compare monstergirls with furries or otherwise using monstergirls to cover for furries, please contact the [[Inquisition]] as soon as possible.

A wide variety of monstergirls exist - a comprehensive list may be impossible, but some of the most common ones seen on /d/ and /tg/ alike are below:

Suffice to say, there's ten shitloads. Monstergirls are one of the few things /tg/ will defend to the death - getting between a fa/tg/uy and his monstergirls will result in [[RAGE|fa/tg/uy rage]] that will give an Angry Marine pause. Note that there are other, decidedly-not-monstergirls that are seen in these threads too - elves aren't exactly Monstergirls and get fucked (over) [[Elf subraces|way too much]] - but they're still allowed, as are miscellaneous [[catgirl]]s, [[kitsune]]s, etc, in spite of the obvious [[Weeaboo]]. There's also a few more monstrous girls, such as [[Thri-Kreen]] or [[Illithid|Mindflayers]], thrown in the mix for both hilarity and [[Awesome|lulz]]. So if you happen upon some desert insect women in a Monstergirl thread? [[Thri-Kreen Erotica|Don't be afraid]] -- it's all good. [[Meme|Make a grapple check if you know what I mean]]. Btw, if you are a ca/tg/irl and are upset about the absence of monsterboys on this site, please note that you are free to just add them yourself.
