The term "Phenotype" or "Wereside" describes the animal, or animals, which make up an individual's therianthropy.  In my own case, this is spotted hyena.  Phenotypes are generally natural animals, mainly mammals, however some therians describe themselves as mythical creatures (for a variety of reasons), or believe they may have multiple phenotypes.

There are a great many topics to be covered as there is often a great deal of disagreement between individuals on this matter.  It is difficult for any person to accept something they cannot see or touch or experience themselves, and so questioning always arises.  This site aims to look objectively at the subject matter here.

This will be a Work In Progress, as there is a lot of ground to cover on this matter.

• Multiple Weresides - information on experiencing the uncertainty of multiple phenotypes
• The Case For Mythicals And Multiples - one possible explanation for these types of therian, Spiritual Attatchment
