A '''theriotype''' is the animal or animals that a [[therian]] believes they are inside or identifies as. The most common theriotype is a [[wolf]]<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080616123915/http://www.otherkin.net/community/directory/species.html Otherkin directory by species], web archive copy from June 2008. Wolf is the top animal theriotype.</ref>, accounting for approximately half of the online therian community{{fact}} ([[mammal]]s in general are most frequently seen).{{fact}} The word was developed as a replacement for the word "[[phenotype]]", which held the same meaning but was felt to be a misnomer, as 'pheno' refers to the observable attributes of an organism. Some therians believe they have more than one theriotype, and are called "Poly-Weres" or [[Polymorph]]s. [[Mythical animal]]s are usually considered to be [[otherkin]]-types (refered to as a '''kintype''' or '''kin-type'''), but this has been disputed, especially in the case of [[dragon]]s and [[gryphon]]s, who are mythical beasts.{{fact}}<br />
