Fursuit

Fursuits are custom-made anthropomorphic animal costumes owned and worn by cosplayers and members of the furry fandom, commonly known as "furries"; a furry who wears a fursuit is called a fursuiter. The term is believed to have been coined in 1993 by Robert King. Unlike mascot suits, which are usually affiliated with a team or organization, fursuits most commonly represent an original character created by their wearer, and are often better-fitting and more intricately crafted, with features such as a moving jaw.

Fursuits are made in a wide range of styles, from cartoonish to highly realistic.
