Owners are known as [[:Category:Fursuiters|fursuiters]], '''furzooters''', or '''suiter'''/'''zooters''', while the act of wearing a fursuit is usually referred to as '''''fursuiting''''' (originally as '''''zooting''''', named after the [[W:Chicano|Chicano]] [[W:Zoot suit|zoot suiter]]s of the [[W:Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] area of the [[W:1940|1940]]s).<ref name="Zoot" />

=== History ===

Fursuiting as a permanent feature and practice within the fandom likely dates to the pre-convention era (1984-1989),{{cn}} when the first furry parties were being organized at both [[sci-fi]] conventions and home parties. By [[Confurence 0]] in 1989 (the first hotel-based [[furry convention]]), a programming track called "Furry Costuming" was held at the hotel at which it took place.{{cn}}

Many have commented on the change which occurred in the growing fandom when graphic artists, many of whom were native to the [[funny animal]] fandom era,{{clarify}} shared more attention with costumers,{{clarify}} resulting in the artists' booths being overshadowed by the presence of costumers at conventions and furry parties<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/browse_thread/thread/98297bd0b163b276/aa1b5bd5eb53f70c?lnk=gst ''When did Fursuiters take over furry fandom?''] post by [[Joe Strike]] to [[alt.fan.furry]], Nov 30 2008. Retrieved ?.</ref>

This trend continues today, with the number of fursuiters growing exponentially every year at several furry conventions, even breaking established [[Guinness]] World Records.<ref>[http://www.worldrecordacademy.com/mass/largest_parade_of_people_in_fur_suits_Pittsburgh_breaks_Guinness_world_record_213484.html ]. Retrieved June 17, 2014.</ref> Some conventions have included since the early 2000s the position of [[Guest of Honor|Fursuiter Guest of Honor]].<ref>[https://www.rainfurrest.org/2013/goh.php ''Rainfurrest Guest of Honor''] page on the [[Rainfurrest]] official site.

=== Types ===

Fursuits range from simple tails and ears to full costumes with mechanical/electronic components. Similar to mascot suits, they allow the wearer to adopt another animal look and/or personality while in costume. Owners can spend less than one-hundred to many thousands of dollars on one fursuit,[citation needed] depending on the complexity of the design and on the materials used. These items are mainly sold online, with many makers owning sites dedicated to their suits. Suiting paraphernalia is often sold at "Furry Conventions." Furries may make their own using online tutorials and/or advice, or have hobbyist or professional fursuit maker or company assist them.

There are many types of fursuits. There are partials and fullsuits (along with several categories stemming from them. Suits that cover the whole body, or fullsuits, come with a head, a bodysuit, feetpaws, forepaws (hands), and a tail. There are three main types of fullsuits; the plantigrade, the digitgrade, and the unguligrade. Plantigrade gives a suit a more anthropomorphic look, adding no animalistic qualities to the legs. Digitgrade is used for canines, felines, birds, dinosaurs, and various other creatures. Unguligrade is used for hoofed animals such as horses or deer.
A partial suit or half-suit contains the above, only without the body. This allows the wearer to don ordinary clothing (or a different costume) overtop of the paws, head and tail. In partial suits, the tail is usually attached to a belt, and the arms and legs have sleeves that can go up as far as the shoulders and pelvis, respectively.
A third type known as the three-quarter suit has been developed, which consists of a head, arms and pants made to look like the legs, tail and feet of the animal in question, which works well for characters who only wear shirts.
There is also an uncommon suit type; the quadsuit. It uses the arms of its wearer as the animals forelegs, and the hind legs are often stilts.

== Reasons for fursuiting ==
[[File:Wgg the Gnoll.jpg|thumb|right|Wgg the Gnoll, an example of a suit that uses a mask.]]
A person who wears a fursuit generally falls into one or more of six categories for wearing them:

=== Job ===

Many people wear fursuits as a [[real life]] job. This can include mascots, though not all mascots are fursuits, nor are all mascot performers furries. Many fursuiters are hired through an agency to represent a character, while others bring their own constructions to an event instead. There are also several volunteer fursuiting groups across North America that either ask or are asked to entertain at various social functions. Some groups even set up their own charitable events or perform on the streets to passersby.

=== Charity ===

[[File:Fursuit Charity.jpeg|thumb|right|[[Nero and Rotanes|Nero the Fox]] doing charity work]]
Some fursuiters don their suits for non-paid charity work, such as events for social causes (animal rights) or visits to children hospitals or wards for entertainment.<ref>[http://faq.fursuit.org/performance/hospitals ''Hospital/medical sites''] page on the [[Fursuit.org]] website. Retrieved June 17, 2014.</ref>

=== Event entertainment ===
[[File:FursuitDancersAC2006.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Fursuit dancers at [[Anthrocon 2006]] — video by [[BigBlueFox|BBF]]: <span class="plainlinks">[http://youtube.com/watch?v=dFKdUVsjUqY 1] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb82sUmiCq4&NR 2] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aafWQJwQmZ0 3]</span> ]]
Other furries enjoy wearing their suits for parades, exhibitions, or [[convention]]s for simple personal fun or crowd entertainment. These fursuiters may also wear their suits to small, informal meetings among furry fans in their area.

Some may get permission to perform in or outside of a shop or event, while others may simply wear a suit in a major area, such as a mall. However, some cities have [[no-mask laws]], so individuals seeking to wear their fursuit in large, public places should check first if it's allowed before performing at that location.

=== Role-playing ===

Some [[Role-player]]s create highly elaborate costumes (including fursuits) for their characters. Half-suits are usually created for role-playing games, though some role-players use full-body suits. These suits wear elaborate clothes and costumes of their own, depending on the theme of the game.

=== Spirituality ===

Some people (usually [[Wikipedia:otherkin|otherkin]],[[Wikipedia:therianthropy|therianthropes]] or [[furry lifestyler]]s) also fursuit for reasons of expressing what they feel is their inner animal self.{{cn}} Most of them try to make their suits as realistic and lifelike as possible.

=== Sexuality ===

There is a perception [[stereotype]] in and out the [[furry fandom]] that [[fursuit sex]] is practiced by all fursuiters, thus consider the fursuit a [[sex]]ual item.<ref>[http://ro.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fursuitsex Fursuitsex] on the [[W:Urban Dictionary|Urban Dictionary]]. Retrieved July 7, 2014.</ref><ref>[https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101218012017AA9HVB5 ''Fursuits and yiffing. Fact or fiction?''] article on [[W:Yahoo!|Yahoo! Answers]].

Retrieved July 7, 2014.</ref> Some suits may contain elaborately designed/recreated sexual features ([[genitalia|sexual organs]]),{{cn}} while some wearers have simple cut accesses on the suit.{{cn}}

== Construction and maintenance ==
{{main|Construction of fursuits}}

== Performance ==
[[File:Autumnfox.jpg|thumb|right|[[Summer Vixen]] and [[Autumnwah]] at [[Further Confusion 2006]].]]
A key part of playing a character in suit is an engaging performance. The most expensive fursuit in the world will not help someone who does not know how to use it. Looking good is important, but not as important as ''acting''.

How the performer acts in costume reflects on how others relate to them. If the desired character is bouncy and bubbly, then acting that way is required to communicate it to spectators.

The design of the suit plays a part in some of the moves that can be done. For example, some fursuiters with floppy muzzles nod their heads up and down rapidly to simulate laughter or enjoyment. This cannot be done with suits with a rigid muzzle, or no muzzle at all.

=== Body language ===

Fursuiters typically do not speak in costume. This may be for a variety of reasons:
* To preserve the anonymity or conceal the gender of the performer
* The design of most suits muffles the voice of the performer
* Most animals don't talk
* It might cause an unwanted break of character
* Because they just don't want to
Because of this, acting in suit is mostly about body language. A fursuiter may wiggle around excitedly, shiver in fear, stomp around in anger, or hand their head in sadness.

When a fursuiter ''does'' speak in costume, it is often just to their [[Fursuit handler|handler]] and/or close friends. Alternately, fursuiters may only speak in some limited fashion, either with a limited vocabulary, or simply using as few words as necessary.

Increasingly, more elaborate fursuits are being built with some form of '''talk-jaw''', either physically (the fursuit's lower jaw being attached to the fursuiter's chin or pressed physically against by the fursuiter's lower jaw in some other holding fashion) or by the use of mechanical/electronic devices, which enables the fursuiter to "talk".

== Media coverage ==

Fursuiters are often included in [[Timeline of media coverage|media coverage]] of the fandom, such as the [[W:CSI: Crime Scene Investigation|CSI]] episode ''[[Fur and Loathing]]''. They may also mentioned incidentally - for example, one of the [[female]] characters on the 2009 non-furry [[novel]] ''[[Wikipedia:The Year of the Flood|The Year of the Flood]]'', a 2009 novel by [[Wikipedia:Margaret Atwood|Margaret Atwood]], gets a job as a "Furzooter", being constantly [[W:Sexual harassment|sexually harassed]].<ref>''[[Wikipedia:The Year of the Flood|The Year of the Flood]]'' by Atwood, Margaret. Toronto, Ontario: McClelland & Stewart, 2009. p. 31.</ref>

'''Nero and Rotanes''' are two [[fursuiter]]s from [[W:North Rhine-Westphalia|North Rhine-Westphalia]] in [[W:Germany|Germany]]. They can mostly be seen in the [[w:Ruhr|Ruhr area]], so some call them '''the Ruhrpottfurries'''.

==About Nero and Rotanes==

Nero and Rotanes are a [[fox]] and a [[wolf]], respectively, who wear ''black hats and coats''. When drawn, Nero wears a golden clock with 13 hours around his neck.

They often show up at Charity and freelance festivals in NRW, and sometimes they can be seen in the [[w:Netherlands|Netherlands]] (for example at the [[W:Elf Fantasy Fair| Elf Fantasy Fair]]).

Sometimes they do very special things like leading a kinotherapy group in [[W:Bochum|Bochum]] or stuffing a Plush at [[W:Build-A-Bear|Build-A-Bear]].

==Public Media==

The newspaper [[W:Funke Mediengruppe|WAZ]] wrote an article about Nero and Rotanes in November 2015. <ref>[http://www.derwesten.de/staedte/hattingen/kuschelige-kostueme-als-hingucker-id11270102.html "Kuschelige Kostüme als Hingucker"] - article on http://www.derwesten.de. Dated November 9, 2015. Retrieved December 4, 2015.</ref>

They also sometimes appeared on titel pictures in the newspaper.<ref>[http://www.lokalkompass.de/recklinghausen/leute/wolf-und-fuchs-kamen-bei-den-kindern-gut-an-wurden-aber-von-einigen-hunden-angeklaefft-m3433820,646370.html] - "Besuch für Alihya und Co.: Tierheim lud zum Frühlingfest" Artikel auf http://www.lokalkompass.de/recklinghausen/ </ref>

They were printed on the advertising posters for the Kidsday 2016 in the [[w:Bochum Dahlhausen Railway Museum|Railway Museum Bochum]].

They were shown in an Tv Report by [[w:De Telegraaf|De Telegraaf]] and in the offical Trailer of the Elf fantasy fair Arcen 2016. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmAroUqgv2g] - "Fantasierijk verkleedpartijtje in Arcen" Video on https://www.youtube.com/ Nero and Rotanes at 0:10 </ref> <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY7i14fhiF4] - "Elfia Arcen 2016 (official trailer)" Video on https://www.youtube.com/ Nero and Rotanes at 0:19</ref>

In January 2016 they were actors in a short film by the [[wikipedia:de:SAE Institute|SAE Institute]]. The film was finished in March and is called ''Brain Vs. Muscles''. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjZElXGzVy8] - "Brain Vs. Muscles" Video on https://www.youtube.com/ </ref>

==Plushies==
There are [[w:Stuffed toy|Plushies]] of Nero and Rotanes, who travel with them all the time.

They were made to go with them at appearances and to replace them, in moments when they can't appear in costume.

==Mandibula==
Sometimes Nero and Rotanes have a baby stroller with them, with a [[plush]] wolf called King Mandibula, or simply ''Mandibula'' (Latin for [[w:Mandible|Jawbone]]), inside it.

His name is an allusion to his open jaw.

Usually [[w:Action camera|Action cams]] are fixed on his stoller.
