“Quads” is short for “quadrobics,” which is the act of moving on all fours like an animal. A lot of therian content online, especially on TikTok, includes quadrobics.
Interestingly, quadrobics didn’t start with therians. It came from people who wanted to move like horses—think hobby horse communities and similar groups. So originally it was more like a sport or challenge. But therians liked the idea of moving like an animal and adopted it.
Now, quadrobics is common in therian spaces online, but it’s not required or inherently part of therianthropy. I can’t do quadrobics myself for physical reasons, but people still ask me to. It's just one way of expressing therian identity—it’s not a requirement.

How many theriotypes can one person have?
So, I'm a therian, (as stated by my name), and I have a bunch of therian friends. One day, I was making a big drawing of all of our theriotypes, when it occurred to me I didn't know what one of my friends had. (Let's call her W.). So, I asked W, and she gave me a whole LIST. I swear, this girl gave me like 8 animals. I just kinda said 'ok', and wrote them down, skeptical. So, can you have 8 theriotypes, or is W lying?

I’m an American-Muslim and Therian! Why do people hate me?
Well I used to do quadrobics when I was like 10 and some 8 year old boys tryed to push me.
