someone who only occasionally has a quadruped lower half as a hobby, or an ama-taur
as opposed to someone whose films all feature creatures with a humanoid upper half joined to a quadruped lower half, or au-taur
which shouldn't be confused with an anthro-otter upper half and most of an otter as the lower bits, or ot-taur.
@Leucrotta Or someone whose lower torso is actually an inert mannequin, with a set of four posable arms for legs, who can only move when your attention is distracted or between blinks by rapidly repositioning their artificial limbs - an armataure.
@Momentrabbit I thought another hexapedal creature moved the limbs into place, then took still photos at each point, an animataur.
@Leucrotta And their assistant, who has a few ✨plush✨ arms sewn onto their turtleneck sweater and goes on and on about how they didn't learn how to do it *this* way but never lifts a 'pod to actually help, except to restore the subject to a neutral position between takes.
You know. Good kid, but a bit of a poseaur. XD
