Euipoi - Founder / Creator of Therian-Guide

Hi members!, as you may already know I am the Creator of the Therian Guide. I started creating the site in late 2009 and finally published it in May 23, 2010. I wanted to create a website in which had a firm foundation for therianthropy, as it seemed there was not many websites that actually went about explaining it at the time. So I put together a little something from what I experienced and what I have learned to help guide other people. Being a young therian for me was hard because I was limited to information. I knew what I was experiencing but didn't know why or what it was. It wasn't until I was a little older did i discover there was actually people around the world who experienced the same thing I did.

I am currently living in California. I enjoy playing video games, art, anything wildlife, spirituality, and girly things. I am also a Solitary Eclectic Witch. I very much enjoy spending time with my little family and working on new projects. I have two pet birds. A Sun Conure name Jade and an African Senegal Parrot named Milo. You can visit my blog ChakraGypsy or my social network Modern Buddha.

I want to thank you all for being part of this community, without you all therian guide wouldn't be so awesome. So keep posting and keep being positive!

DustWolf - Therian-Guide's techwolf

Hello ^.^ I'm DustWolf, I'm.. you guessed it, a wolf therian. I am not a shifter, which means I am mentally always wolf to a degree. I've been around the therian community for over 25 years and have already been in and out of plenty of trouble, asked and answered all those questions, made and lost many friends... But still I like to hang out with you.

I live in Slovenia in Europe. I work as a devops engineer. I love walks, nature, building things and watching things grow. I have a canine best friend and a very few select friends I spend all my time with. I am an atheist and a science-minded person, but I keep an open mind and am not ignorant of spiritual beliefs.

Please do not PM me with technical and/or site issues! If you need the staff to help with something, post a thread to the Write to staff forum!

BearX - Our Fedora-ed Admin!

Howdy, I'm BearX! I'm a coastal brown bear therian, and long-time member of the community. I live in the Eastern United States with my very understanding wife and two active sons, leading a relatively normal middle-aged life.

In the 1990s, I was an early member of the alt.horror.werewolves newsgroup which spawned modern therianthropy and was the owner/operator of lycanthrope.org, the first ISP devoted to giving therians our own online space.

I am always open to talk, so feel free to give me a shout.

Senna - Our Gliding Fox Spirit Admin!

Hi everyone, I have been a therian for a few years now, I am a Huli Jing (chinese spirit fox) and a Siberian flying squirrel.

I tend to hover around in the shoutbox a lot, so don't be afraid to come say hi.

I hope to be a help for everyone around here and to spread my positivity around.

I live in Belgium, a little country in Europe where I work as a frontend developer. Other times I hang around here or play games with my friends. (Yuumi my beloved)

If you're ever in need of some positive talk, or need a listening ear, don't be afraid to poke me. I don't bite... Often

Tornir - Our Googly-Eyed Admin!

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of...

(Whoops, sorry, wrong speech) Ahem.

Greetings members, I'm Tornir, a leopard from the UK; I've been aWere of my therianthropy for about 29 years. I joined TG in 2021, then got locked in the staff room after sneaking in there to "decorate" Zef's rainstick.

I'm a techie who likes photography, fixing things, then sticking googly eyes on them when the owner isn't looking.

So, if you have a problem, or just wanna talk, gimme a poke.

Bagera - Our Shamanic Alien Super Mod!

Hey folks, I'm Bagera, a sapient alien species known as drehgora. I've been around the therian community since around 2011, but my journey through therianthropy and learning about my species has been life long. I consider myself both a psychological and spiritual therian, and I tend to use therian and otherkin labels interchangeably for myself. I'm a practising animist, and integrate my therianthropy into much of my spiritual work.

You can usually find me hanging out on the TG Discord, often at obscene hours of the night/morning, being a weirdo. I like to think and ask questions, and can be very blunt and to the point. I really love having in depth conversations about all kinds of things. I can be a little hard to get to close to, due to past experiences with people, but I am very protective and caring to my friends.

I love learning and am knowledgeable on many topics, and have many interests. Some of these include spirituality and animism, mycology, botany, video games, tabletop role playing games, biology, psychology, and way too many crafts to list.

As staff, I hope to continue to share my knowledge and experience with others, and offer advice or a long ear to listen. Feel free to message me here or on the discord if you need anything~

Cygnus - Our Canid from The Void Super Mod!

Hello,

I'm Cygnus, one of the moderators here on Therian Guide. I am a type of kitsune and northwestern wolf, and I consider myself a spiritual therian. I have been a part of the Therian and Otherkin communities since the 1990s. I applied to become staff because I wanted to see this place continue to flourish and be somewhere others could always call their home. Communities like this one gave me a cherished place to rest and feel normal when I was younger; somewhere where I wouldn't need to hide any more. I wish this for all of you as well, and will do whatever I can to assure we continue to be here for you into the future.

You can usually find me floating about on the Discord server at weird hours discussing topics related to the nature of reality and the joys of fried tofu (though I also check the forums). Some of my other interests include Eastern Mythology and Philosophy, electronics and mechanical repair, martial arts, weaponry, motorcycles, and quite a few others..I've recently taken up gardening as well (I find it quite calming). I also maintain an ever-growing library of written works and scholarly research related to yokai and yaoguai mythology, and a small resource/reading page devoted to information on them (it can be found in my profile).

TherianRose - Our Mama Wolf Super Mod!

Howldy! I'm Rose, an Eastern timber wolf. I stumbled across the therian community around 2011, but I've always been wolfy and am constantly learning about myself and the world. I tend to be most active on the discord and shoutbox, but I also sniff around the forums.

For work, I make medications to treat serious diseases which I find very fulfilling. Outside of that, I enjoy reading psychological thrillers, hanging out with my mate and our two kitties, trying my paw at various crafty things, and spending time wandering around the outdoors.

As a staff member, my goal is to help the therian community thrive both here and elsewhere. I've become a bit of a den mother here, and I truly enjoy being able to nurture others and help them grow - you're all lovely plants in the TG garden.

TheUnknownGame - Our Scaled Storyteller Super Mod!

My name is Noodle, alias TheUnknownGame (though you can also call me Unknown for short). I've known I'm a therian since March 2022, joined Therian Guide in July 2023, and as of December 2024, have just been accepted onto the staff team as a moderator.

My perspective is rather different from most, as my theriotype, a ripplebellied cableglider, is not an extant species, nor even one found in myths or other existing stories (despite superficial resemblance to some dragons); rather, based on what feels natural and normal to me, my species is an amalgam of many different traits and instincts that add up to a unique whole. I've spent my time on here learning more about myself, and occasionally sharing my perspective so that others can know that unique creatures like me are welcome here, too.

I visit the site every day or two, reading posts and sometimes padding into the shout box. If I'm gone for a week or more, I'll try to warn everyone beforepaw, and if I can't, I'll explain after my return why I was absent. I avoid Discord like the plague, so don't expect me to pop in there.

As a staff member, I strive to keep doing what I can to help foster an environment of understanding, honesty, peace, and kindness.

Zacchary - Our Car-Cronching Super Mod!

Hey! I am Zacc and I have been a member of Therian Guide since late 2014. I am a wyvern therian/otherkin who is very active lurker on shoutbox/discord, so you'll most likely see me on every day. And when I am not lurking, I'm usually being silly on shoutbox.

I am an amateur hobbyist writer and gamer with very good world building skills. As a part of my self-discovery journey as a therian/otherkin, I have done years of research and am well studied in dragons. I have often coached members questioning if they're a dragon or some sort of draconic creature, being one of TG's better mediators.

So if you are questioning you may be some kind of draconic creature, need a second opinion, story ideas or would like someone to help you vent, feel free to ask me.

CustardFox - Our New Mod!

Salutations!

My name is CustardFox. I am a fox therian, and have been active in the therian community since about 2018. I have a deep interest in the academic perspectives of therianthropy, and like to inspire healthy debate within the community. You can usually find me with my snout in a book or project.

In my IRL life, I am a mother and a pet care specialist. I am an artist and author in my free time. I am very crafty and love painting, junk journaling, crochet, and more.

FernFox - Our New Mod!

Hello all, I'm Fernfox! I am a gray fox and one of the newer moderators here on TG. I joined the community in late 2023 when I was first beginning to discover therianthropy, and been lurking around ever since! Though I'm quite new to accepting my therian identity, I have always felt non-human, and I've experienced fox-like traits ever since I was a wee kit.

You'll most often find me responding to the therianthropy boards or sniffing around the various discord chats. Those who are shoutbox users might not see me around a lot, but I'm virtually always available and watching the goings-on from afar! I like to pop in and out when I'm needed or have something interesting to say, but I'm always here to listen.

I'll likely be working on things behind the scenes as well as helping out with responding to introductions, though my niche will probably evolve to fit wherever I'm most needed. I thoroughly enjoy helping out and will do my best to be a gentle paw you can feel comfortable coming to when assistance is needed! ^^

Spoon - Our New Mod!

Hey there, I'm Spoon, one of TG's old members from 2014!

I been around in the community off and on for some time, having difficulties with my Therianthropy and my Identity. With growing up in a horrible environment and being around folks who disapproved of Therianthropy, I had eventually started to force it out of my life for the sake of being accepted by others. Though no matter how much I tried to remove the core part of me, I always felt like a stranger with a mask. I felt worse about who I was. Over time I came to the conclusion I have to stop forcing myself to change for others.

Accepting Therianthropy back into my life is honestly something that made me feel so much better about who I am as a person. It made me feel like my true self again. With my experience of my journey through Therianthropy, I plan on using it to help teach the younger generations the true meaning of the Therianthropy. That it's more than just simply being an animal but being true to yourself, growing and changing. Evolving into who you truly are.

As a mod of TG, I vow to be help others on their journey. You'll also see me lurking around on the Discord Server and stepping in to help resolve conflicts. TG is family to me and I'll do what I can to uplift our members. So if you need a little help on your journey, I'm here for you!

Zefer Nezumi - Our Punkin Mod!

Howldy!

I'm Zef, a Siberian tiger. Cat of all trades, meowster of pun!

I "felt feline" very early on and overcame many obstacles on my journey of self-discovery. Since I didn't know about the community and had limited resources while I figured things out, it's important for me to help support the community now that I've earned my stripes.

I'm an engineer who dabbles in things shamanic, loves the outdoors, and smooshes his paws on a tablet to make art stuff. I love to learn and love to teach. It's rare that I turn an opportunity down (though I may grumble about it at first).

I'm the co-founder of TeamSiberian, along with Secret Doggo. With this much fluff and derp, how can we NOT be epic?

On a serious note, I'm always willing to lend a paw. If you need anything - from a lame pun to advice to... well, mostly just lame puns... reach out to me!

BlackWolf - Our Elder Sage!

Howdy, I'm BlackWolf. I'm an administrator here. You could probably guess what I am by the rather straightforward name. I've been a therian for as long as I can remember and I'm not too sure if I was ever "awakened" but rather always have been. I've been on this site for a handful of years now and have always done my best to help anyone so don't be shy. I like music, Blacksmithing, weaponry throughout history, and anything that involves being outdoors. I've seen a lot in life and have done good and bad things, just as we all have. I'm honest, straight up, and serious but that doesn't mean I can't have fun with anyone. If you ever need anything, I'm here.
