For those therians who say they have more than one phenotype(poly) is this a realistic possiblity or are they just confused about which phenotype they are? Can this be explained in such a way that anyone can understand?

I'm not sure therianthropy can be explained clearly in a way anyone can understand, let alone polyweres. I don't see why it would not be considered "a realistic possibility". We don't know what causes therianthropy, and although people may become very fond of a certain theory (such as reincarnation), it would be very arrogant to assume that any one theory is right, and others are wrong. Poly theriotypes occur, and there's no reason to condescend to those who have them and assume that they're confused or being dishonest. I'm not sure how it would work for a contherian, but for shifters, you have two mindsets, and you swing between them....for a polywere, you have 3 or more mindsets that you swing between. Any therian who has experienced a cameo shift should understand some of what it's like to be a polywere.

I think it differs from person to person. Yes some people could just be confused about their phenotype while others could be polyphenotypes.

This reminds me of an African legend I read once. In one village there was a great hunter and provider for his people. There was nothing he couldn't hunt, trap, or fish from the waters. He became too full of pride and hunted simply for the thrill of the hunt until he had killed most of the animals near his village. Because of this food became scarce and those that didn't die of hunger moved away. When the hunter died the gods cursed him. He would live lifetime after lifetime as and for each animal he had destroyed out of pride and blood lust. So basically if he'd killed 50 lions, he'd have to live 50 lifetimes as a lion and so on for each type of animal he'd killed. I know that's not directly related to the question posed, I was just reminded of it and thought I'd share.

I have two animal phenotypes, the sea turtle and the goat, and I'm not at all confused. They're both very strong and distinct, and there was a time when I thought I had to choose between them, but that was impossible. I just shift between them. It might have something to do with the fact that I'm bipolar; one is my manic personality and the other is depressive.
I think it's a little hypocritical to say someone with two phenotypes is confused, while anyone else with a human body and an animal soul isn't.

I think it could be plasable. After all you must consider the marvle at the fact that there are people with two sexes. More physically some mentally. To have more then one animal attached to you in some way wouldn't be out of the question. After all most, from what I've seen on the forums, AND I COULD BE WRONG!, seem to be awakened into it. Something in their blood, so to speak. Yes two animal personalities COULD have and adverse clash, but it is simply the life many were delt and use it to the best they can. Some hide behind it, some use it as an excuse, some take pride in it, some even work well with it. Just as most of us have 10 fingers and 10 toes, some people have more then one animal fixed to them.

I believe it's very possible to have more than one phenotype. On werenation.com, some of us have more than one, most have just one, but others, like me, have more than one. So I believe it is possible.

In a world where all nations have cross bread and most kin are of mixed lineage, anything is possible, there are very rare and very few actual pure breeds in any Kin.

i was born dead with the cord wrapped around my neck ..wolfess showed me that she had died at the same time that i did.. she saw my soul leaving my body so she came and took over and brought my soul back to my body with her. ofcourse she couldn't do it all alone and for very long but she did manage to kind of take over long enough for the doctor to work on me and get me going again.. my mother told me the first sound i made was a howl. i told her.you mean i cried. and she said no you howled that first time but then after that yes you cried. so yes it's a fact that there are those that have more then one kind with them or in them. it's just depending on what animal s go to their assistance and how many do. i've talked to several that were possibly awakening and it seems that most now days had some kind of severe trama at birth or early childhood and it is at these times that an animal or animals souls come to assist them and ofcourse they never leave. by severe trauma i mean difficulity getting born, sexual abuse, neglect, assualt, or severe illness ect.

swampiebartender your theory is very interesting. It is also possible that something like that happened to a soul which already had one animal to them. The thing it can also explain is if this happened more then once, like dificulty being born and an illness.
I have met a million poly-phenotypes, I am one aswell. One thing I find curious is that I am also bipolar, I find that my shifts and mood swings do have some collation, but not a very large one. Many times I find that forcing a shift can stop a really bad mood swing or at least put it on a bit of a pause.
