"to ascribe human form or attributes to (an animal, plant, material object, etc.)."
I use the term "anthromorphized" when describing the miscellaneous human attributes, mentioned in the definition above, present in the discussed creature. (Form is irrelevant to what I aim to describe. A creature sharing human proportions is simply "humanoid" in form). These attributes appear mostly in the face and in its mind/behaviour: a face that forms a wide array of recognizable, human emotions; human speech; human rationality; basic human behaviour. The examples are the opposite of "bestial" or "feral".

You seem to think anthropomorphized creatures can have features of ANY mammal or other animal ascribed to them. However, the term entails exclusively HUMAN attributes. Fursona's, like you say, are definitly anthropomorphized animals - even the quadpedal ones.

I was wrong to say "NEVER anthropomorphized"; I was unaware just the physical form could classify a creature as that until now, and there are plenty of cases the creatures clearly exhibits some kind of emotion - usually crazed ones. I just like to stay away from the common (cartoon-ish) furries and fursona's.

A quick google image search leads me to believe Goro IS in fact human, or something inherently similar. Calling him anthropomorphized would be redundant, I think.
