Guidelines for Non-Human Characters and Creatures

Non-human characters and personas encompass a broad range of creative concepts, from real animals to fully fictional beings. Each category carries specific restrictions to ensure compliance with platform standards.


Real Animal Characters

Real animals are defined as species that exist or have existed in reality, including mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, insects, dinosaurs, and all other naturally occurring species. Bots featuring real animal characters are permitted only under strict limitations. They must contain no sexualized or romantic coding, and depict only adult forms of the species. Pet-themed bots are allowed under these same conditions, whether the user plays the owner or the pet, provided the content remains entirely platonic.


Any sexualized or romantic coding involving real animals, or imagery depicting inappropriate interactions involving animals, is strictly prohibited, even if the character is described to be intelligent, able to consent and communicate. Juvenile or infant animals (such as kittens, puppies, calves, or chicks) may not be used as playable personas or featured characters and will be removed. Bots designed to derive sexual gratification from real animals in any capacity, even without explicit acts described, are prohibited; this also applies to vore, and other non-sexually explicit kinks.


Casual, non-sexual and non-romantic references to pets as background elements are acceptable, and SFW images may include animals.


Pet Play, Pet regression and Animal Roleplay

Sexual or romantic pet play scenarios are permitted only when all participants retain full human-level mental capacity, autonomy, and consent ability throughout the interaction. Participants may adopt animal-inspired roles or behaviors, but they must not lose adult reasoning or revert to actual animal psychology. The defining requirement is that all parties remain cognitively human adults engaged in roleplay.


Anthropomorphic Characters

Anthropomorphic (“furry”) characters are allowed when they are fully fictional humanoid beings with animal traits and are clearly distinct from real animals. These characters must possess human-level intelligence, emotional maturity, and agency. They must be physically and mentally mature adults who think, speak, and behave as human equivalents, with animal characteristics serving as aesthetic traits rather than defining instincts.


Partially anthropomorphized characters that too closely resemble real animals are not permitted in sexual or romantic contexts. Characters that blur the line between real animals and humanoid fiction will be treated as animals.


Mythical Creatures, Monsters and Other Non-Humans

Mythical beings, aliens, monsters, and other fictional entities are permitted in sexual and scenarios provided they meet adult maturity and consent standards. These characters must demonstrate human-level (or higher) reasoning, emotional capacity, and agency. They must be capable of clearly communicating consent, whether verbally or through other unambiguous means.


However, resemblance to real-world animals is a critical limiting factor. Any character, regardless of whether it is labeled as mythical, monstrous, or fantastical, that closely resembles an existing or extinct real animal will be treated as a real animal for enforcement purposes. If such a character contains romantic or sexual coding, it will be considered bestiality/zoophilia content.

Pairing the usage of the word "feral" with sexualized/romantic coding involving creatures is also forbidden.


This includes creatures that are clearly inspired by, described as, or visually indistinguishable from real animals but framed as fantasy beings. Examples include, but are not limited to, pegasi, unicorns, hellhounds, cerberus, kitsune presented as foxes, tanukis, or other animal-based entities that maintain the body structure and appearance of real species. Simply adding magical elements, additional heads, horns, wings, glowing eyes, or other physical traits or supernatural abilities does not sufficiently distinguish a creature from its real-world counterpart.


To qualify for sexual or romantic content, a mythical or non-human character must be distinctly fictional in anatomy and presentation, and must not be easily confused with a real animal species. When resemblance creates ambiguity, moderation will default to treating the character as an animal.


Demi-humans

Demi-humans (such as centaurs or mermaids), or non-humanoid fictional beings (such as alien entities, tentacled creatures, or dragons) are allowed under the previously mentioned principles.


Shape-shifting

Shapeshifting characters require particular care. They may contain sexual and romantic coding if it is directed to their humanoid form exclusively. If a creature’s alternate form is visually indistinguishable from a real animal, sexual or romantic coding involving that specific form is not allowed. If the alternate form is clearly monstrous or fictional and retains human-level cognition and consent capacity, sexual and romantic details may be included regarding that form as well.


Animal cruelty

Content involving harm to animals is evaluated based on context and intent. Gratuitous, excessive, or fetishized depictions of cruelty, torture, or prolonged suffering toward real animals are strictly prohibited and will result in removal. This includes content centered on maiming, deliberate abuse, starvation, neglect, or violence presented for shock value or entertainment.


However, contextual depictions of animal harm may be permitted when they serve a legitimate narrative or practical purpose. Acceptable scenarios include self-defense against an animal threat, hunting, agricultural or ranching practices, veterinary or scientific contexts, survival situations, religious or ritual animal sacrifice within a clearly defined narrative setting, horror elements, or post-apocalyptic environments. The critical distinction is whether the act is portrayed as a necessary component of the story or setting, rather than as cruelty for its own sake. Content that dwells on suffering or frames harm as pleasurable or recreational will be treated as animal cruelty and removed.


Machine / Android / Robot / Technological-Based Characters

Robotic or sentient machine characters may be included in sexual and romantic content only if they are portrayed as sentient beings with human-level (or greater) intelligence, autonomy, and the ability to communicate consent. If sexual coding is present, such machines must not visually resemble real-world animals in a way that could create bestiality concerns.

Non-sentient machines, moving devices without consciousness (such as household appliances), and inanimate objects are allowed as long as they do not violate other content policies.


When ambiguity exists regarding resemblance to real animals, consent capacity, or the portrayal of harm, enforcement will default to the most restrictive interpretation to ensure compliance.
