The historical use of the word Therianthropy was to describe men and creatures in mythology and folklore who could change shape such as werewolves, were-cats, and other were-creatures.
The term has often been used by archaeologists to describe animal-human figures found in prehistoric rock art such as the "Dancing Sorcerer" at Les Trois-Frères in southwestern France. Theriocephaly refers to beings which simultaneously share human and animal traits, such as Egyptian Gods.
