Phantom Shift Illustration

This is why I personally see no need for “Therian Gear”. The sensation of canine ears is fairly common, and feeling a tail is almost always present. I think a fake tail would only be a distraction from sensing my phantom shifts. And wolves don’t have two tails. Also, it looks like to me, most fake ears are on top of the head. As a human, the phantom canine ears are an extension of my human ears, which are on the sides of my head. The height of my wolf ears does not go over the crest of my human head. Even on a wolf, the ears are really coming off the side of the head. I can’t deny my human anatomy during my shifts. My shifts are a blending of wolf and human. Again, most fake ears appear to give people two sets of ears when they wear them.



The tail, ears, and fur are just drawn onto the photo. I don’t have any desire to express my phantom shifts in any outwardly physical way such as with gear. I prefer to be stealthy and blend in with mainstream people.

My wolf phantom ears are, most commonly, experienced on the top of my head. So I do have a pair of leather ears, with rabbit fur, that I can wear like a headband.

When I wear the ears and my fake tail (which is actually a large, real fox tail), they actually enhance the phantom limbs I already feel. Plus, there's then a nice tangible experience too.

In pictures and videos I've seen of wolves, their ears look like they're mostly on the top of the skull, not the sides.

Just my experiences as another wolf. ;)
