Topic: Furrification and Animal Humanoids?

Does the furrification tag apply to fully-furry pictures if the character in question is originally an animal humanoid?
Unless I'm mistaken the wiki description states that the character needs to originally be not_furry.

If it doesn't apply, then what should be done with these kinds of pictures? It seems like something worth tagging.

Furrification is taking something that is otherwise normally not_furry and making it furry. For example, Steven Coltbert drawn as a horse would count as furrification. If we take Tony the Tiger as another example, they would be considered furry here, so the tag wouldn't apply.

I'm curious as to examples in which a furry character is practically cosplaying as a non-furry character, like people replacing the TF2 scout or engineer with their characters. Is that furrification, or something else?

There's no specific tag, but at least they can be tagged as alternate_species.

Well yes, but I mean something more along these lines:

post #459078
This character, going by their official depiction, would be counted as an animal humanoid.

post #39040
But there's a few pictures depicting them as a "complete" furry character.
Would it be inappropriate to use the furrification tag in this case?

Bumping this thread back up. There's alternate_species, but that doesn't feel particularly adequate, since most other situations are covered (feralized includes anything non feral depicted as feral, same for taurification, humanized, and humanoidized). This trend breaks when it comes to anthros, splitting into anthrofied and furrification, which both combined don't cover things like animal_humanoid.

Should furrification be expanded to include animal_humanoids and others similar to it?

Tangentially related:
Why does alternate_species cover both alternate species and alternate forms, while alternate_form actually means alternate design
