A fursuiter is a person who wears a fursuit, which is a costume designed to resemble an animal, often with exaggerated features. These suits are typically made from faux fur and can be custom-made to represent specific characters or personas, often inspired by anthropomorphic animals. Fursuiters are commonly associated with the furry fandom, a subculture that celebrates anthropomorphic art, literature, and characters. Fursuiting is often seen at conventions, parades, and social gatherings, where fursuiters engage with others and participate in activities. The experience of wearing a fursuit can be enjoyable and allows individuals to express their creativity and connect with like-minded people. Many fursuiters also enjoy performing and entertaining others while in costume.
