=== Hermaphrodite ===
By definition, a hermaphrodite is any of those who exhibit primary sexual organs of both sexes.

However, within the [[Furry fandom]], a hermaphrodite is often represented as an overtly female figure with male attributes as well as their female. There is a thin line in the fandom between Herms and [[She-males]], even though the latter does not meet the above mentioned criteria.
There are two other variety of herms you might find within the fandom, the Male-herm and the androgynous herm. Both of these are rare, though the majority of these characters that do exist are species to which appearing male or androgynous is a predisposition, such as [[dragons]].
The common concept of a herm is that they are overly active sexualy. While they are overtly sexual figures within the fandom, there are many who are either inactive, or have much deeper reasons for portraying a hermaphroditic character than any kind of sexual facination.

----
Art:
Herms are not a common subject of Furry art, however many artists have delved into the subject matter.
One famous, or infamous depending on your view, artist who specializes in Herms of extraordinary proportions is [[Doug Winger]], who’s creations have spawned terms such as Winger Girls, Wingeresque and Wingerized.
While winger is one who will come up in many discussions, many artists such as [[FoxxFire]], [[Orena]], [[Marc Leonhardt]], [[AraKaraath]], and countless others have done works that depict herms ranging from busty babes with manly bulges to the truly androgynous creatures.

----
Places:
Herms can be found in quite a few areas througout the fandom, including the Hermaphrodite Haven of [[FurryMUCK]], and the like named location on [[Tapestries MUCK]]. Some have been spotted on [[Second Life]] as well.
Herms appear in many art sites such as the [[VCL]], [[FurAffinity]], and [[Sheezyart]] to name a few.
