    Ohhhh. I think in this case “furry” isn’t meant to mean literal furry as in soft and fuzzy. (I’m no expert but here’s my best shot).

    It’s a reference to a sub-culture and visual aesthetic of cartoony anthropomorphic animals. The lamp paw is very reminiscent of a lot of art in the style of furry art.

      I’m genuinely confused. Do furries who style themselves after dragons, lizards, and snakes not refer to themselves as scalies?

      Did I get taken by a meme like a decade ago and just decided that was canon?

        Oh I had noooo idea about scalies lmaooo. But I think the alt text was meant to be super general. I would say that typical lizard legs have more of that chicken feet vibe to them though.

        Either way, a T-Rex leg lamp sounds cool!
