[edit] Padfoot, the furry
Primarily, Padfoot is an anthropomorphic maned wolf, who can be drawn as a male or female. He/she has no specific markings, although the creator generally prefer him/her to have 3/4 of his tail tip white, as an attempt to differentiate the maned wolf from the red fox. This fursona is based on hir maned wolf theriotype. A partial fursuit of Padfoot, made by Korrok and Ravell, has put in appearances in Glasgow.
As of August 2006, Padfoot decided that zie no longer relates to the furry fandom.
