Mostly bored and curious to see what others would say, but I chose the North American beaver as the species for my main because I really like beavers and because of The Angry Beavers cartoon.

That was a pretty sweet show. The Christmas episode really spoke to me as a kid.
I cannot say I remember the Christmas episode. I'll definitely have to look that one up. But the Halloween episode definitely spoke to me because of how chaotic it is.
The message was essentially good things come in small packages. Can't say I remember the Halloween one, maybe I'll get stoned and check the show out again, haven't watched it since I was a kid.
I had a dream about hyenas.
I know that sounds pretty lame. I'm not really sure what caused it, I don't have furry-related dreams. Hell, my dreams are usually pretty boring. But this one was about hyenas for some reason. The next day I was idly doodling in a notebook instead of studying and I was thinking about the hyena dream and I drew this very rough drawing of a little hyena guy.
A few weeks later I was introduced to Second Life and I knew pretty quickly I didn't want my avatar to be a human (this is back when you could only start as a human, I think nowadays you can immediately start with a furry avatar) so I went to a store in game with a bunch of free furry avatars of different species. I saw there was a hyena one and picked that.
Fifteen years later, here we are and my main character is still a hyena.
Now that is an interesting story about finding out what character you want.
I picked a sloth because they're cool and chill. They're never in a hurry from a human POV and I want to be like that.
I picked a dragon because I like dragons
Pretty much had the same thought process.
Dragons are furry?
Considering you can have a bug as a fursona, I don't see why a dragon wouldn't count as furry.
Can be, it's fairly common. But they are then usually anthropomorphic, and sometimes with fur as well (mine doesn't though)
im quite goatly
Aww... Goatly.
Some kind of strange mix of a (prehistoric) theropod and dragon. I don't have any reference art (yet), but I came up with it after I saw Spaghet's vraptor avatar at furality. I loved the chaotic gremlin energy that the avatar had, but I also like dragons, so I said, "eh, fuck it" and smashed the two together in my head. Now I've been working on trying to find avatars or models to kitbash from so I can actually have a model that reflects it.
I'm definitely gonna have to look up Spaghet's avatar. Sounds fairly interesting of a concept.
It's not a dragon/raptor hybrid, just a smol feathered dinosaur. It'd probably make for a good hybrid base though.
Downvoters need to back off. I need these answers for SCIENCE!!
I was 13 when I realized I might be a furry... and my fursona became a rabbit. why a rabbit... it's maybe bacause of a joke, but that's also kinda incorrect. But I have pretty much vibed with it.
Later on, I wanted my fursona to have a larger, wolf-like tail, because... well, tails are awesome.
At first. only the tail. then, as I aged, more and more wolf features got added to the point of today, 15 years later, where it's now a really strange dog by the looks. But I like it, it's a wolfrabbit.
A wolfrabbit definitely sounds cool, strange or not.
I picked a wolf because I grew up with a book on them. Interesting apex predators who keep everything perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Without them, deer and coyote populations explode and destroy the environment in various ways, such as eating the roots of trees, which then degrade areas around rivers, lakes, and meadows.
Also, wolves are big and really cute. They have sweet families that are startlingly close to our own.

I've tried joining groups like the Furry Amino group and find that I personally like more general topic social media better. Though I'm pretty sure I tried doing one of furry instances once on Mastodon but they weren't taking sign-ups at the time.
Also, I wolves are always a classic choice.
