I Will add to this list later on as well. Tell me if I missed any or got something wrong. I try to stay informed but wrong information or assumptions still come about.

Types of otherkin/therian

• suntherian: constantly in some type of shift but will fluctuate between more or less human.
• contherian: also constantly shifted but do not experience fluctuations.
• capricioustherian: Capricious means given to suddenly change in mood or behavior, so therfore the term describes a therian who suddenly can change from a human mindset to that of their theriotype, including sudden mental shifts. (term created by me, use if you want to)
• non-shifting: never or rarely experience shifts of any or all kintypes
