Otherkind

Otherkind, often shortened to otherkin, refers to someone who identifies partially or fully as something nonhuman, or deviant from the norms of humanity. This may include identifying as an animal, creature, fictional character, object, or concept. Those who are otherkin may have spiritual beliefs, such as believing in reincarnation, souls, and animism, while others may have psychological, genetic, or various other origins.

Otherkin identities (kintypes) are at least partially involuntary, and may be discovered at any time in a person's life.
