This is what your Furry Code spells (bookmarkable link):
Canidae (dog family): Dogfox Ninetales, "Funny animal" (toon), With psychic powers, With magical powers, Polymorph (the given species is my normal form, but I can change shape), Normal animal shape. This furry is just a general "alter ego", someone to draw pictures of, my online MU* character (FurryMuck etc), my role-playing game character, someone to write stories about.
Rodentia: Hamster, Animal shape, with some unusual features (perhaps hands, speech, etc); this includes most dragons, gryphons, etc.

The Code of the Furries is a simple and compact way how to tell the others about your furry personality. It's similar in spirit to the Geek Code. The Furry Code consists of a series of letters, numbers and symbols, each describing you in some category. Sometimes, it's a little cryptic to the uninitiated, and here comes our little tool to help you.
This decoder has been written by Anicka (Furry Code) and Martin (Furry Code) on the Christmas of 2006. If you have any bug reports or ideas on what could be improved, please tell us. You can also download the source code. There is also a Geek Code Decoder here.
