[edit] Term origins
The word was first known to have been used by Ken Singshow as an interesting gimmick for his creation, the Andorozon, featuring five biomechanically enhanced female anthros that fought crime and got involved in many strange and sometimes humorous scenarios. However, their enemies, the Evil Cat Sisters, and their henchmen (cats?) are fully artificial.
[edit] Known anthroid artists and supporters
- Duraji is a large supporter of the concept of anthroids, as his fursonas are fully artificial in both personality and body. He writes frequently about these anthroid characters in his speculative fiction, and discusses the concept with a wide variety of artists and writers.
- Techno C. Procyon (aka ROBOCOON) has been, since 2000, one of the only furries whose primary fursona is an anthroid. Specifically, the character is a purple canid creature (primarily cape fox, raccoon and rough collie) built by Dr. Sigmund Fuchs as a pilot for a time-traveling expedition. Techno has no gender and is entirely synthetic, composed primarily of plastics, fiberoptics, and minor holographic elements, built to withstand the powerful depreciating effects of moving backwards in time.
- Harvey Longtail created in 2006 another notable anthroid character by the name of Darian, or "Bug". "Bug" is a dragon anthroid with quirky, sometimes amusing, sometimes expensive glitches.
- Nek0gami made a large stride also in 2006 toward demonstrating just how interesting anthroids can be by introducing the LGD, or "Living Gasm-Drive", which are essentially AI-based, liquid-metal creatures commonly used as the perfect sextoys, complete with uncanny fetish abilities.
Other notable participants in mainstreaming the concept of anthroids are Talynn, Steelwing, cyRex, Sanny Folkesson and Draganta Starwind.
