For me, it was Fox McCloud

Braxien. Good old Pokémon #654

I remember one time when I was about 9 or 10 my parents took me to church. And instead of paying attention to the sermon, I was daydreaming about married life with a Braxien, lmao

Want a weird one?
Frank, from Rescuers down under.

I can think of weirder. Can't say I'm particularly attracted go him, but an anthro frill-necked Lizard sounds like it could make a pretty attractive character.

Macha from .hack//SIGN
Don’t know what it was about her that made little me feel the fuzzies but she did it

It's probably a basic answer, but Kovu from TLK. I will say tho, that crush has disappeared as I've gotten older. If I picked from TLK now, it'd probably be Mufasa, or Simba as a substitute.

squeedgemonster's OC Mischief!

Found 'em because of youtube poops during the 2010s while digging through the rabbit hole of Avast your ass, Rainbow Tylenol, Renard Queenston, and then finally found the artist for some of the Squaredance composer's fursonas. I think Mischief and Mayhem shark were under the Lapfox Trax label?

The artist is DNP here so here's one of their art of her

My own Zafara on Neopets, Azalea Zefras. I've had her since I was eight.

What she looked like at the time.
What she looks like on the site now.

That fluffy chest and those big thighs of hers just looked so plush and inviting to me.

When I was really little, before Lola Bunny entered the scene, I would watch Tiny Toon Adventures a lot. Fifi la Fume stole my heart and Kath Soucie did a fantastic job bringing the character to life.

I honestly don't know. I think I managed to avoid developing any kind of crush at all until adulthood.
It might have been lopunny. I misinterpreted the sprite as having black sclera during a gen 4 replay and I got a bit obsessed

I'm generic AF Renamon and Crystal made my little chest feel weird things.

Carmelita fox, she was such a baddie.

I have a vague recollection. It was either Knuckles the Echidna or Banjo from Banjo-Kazooie. All I remember is desperately wanting to cuddle up on their fluffy chests lol

Yeah... Renamon.
Crushed hard on that fox xD.

The time before Pokemon made sexy mons. Digimon had the goods.

Stith, Titan A.E.
I think it was the attitude but hey she's kinda cute in a unique way.

Lori Jackrabbit, I think. I had a demo of Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files back in circa 2005 when I was barely 9 years old.

Nick Wilde, still love that lil guy :D

Littlefoot. I was three, in my defense.

Lucario bruh

My earliest one I remember was kobura from chop socky chooks, a character that I really thought about a lot as a kid.

It was not exactly the one thing, but combination of anthro and monster characters that appears on old games:
Werewolf: The Last Warrior (NES). Playable werewolf character, cutscene of transformation to werewolf
Golden Axe 3 (Sega Genesis). Has playable beast character
Contra: The hard corps (Sega Genesis). Has playable werewolf-cyborg like character
Alien Soldier (Sega Genesis). Playable anthro bird character.
Fighting masters (Sega Genesis). Has playable anthro dragon character (Xenon)
Demon’s Crest (SNES). Playable demon character
After Armageddon Gaiden: Majū Tōshōden Eclipse (Sega CD). Game completely about monsters’ story, but was never translated to English. I found that idea really cool where on RPG game humans mostly never appear on the game, but was unplayable on Japanese language
DooM (PC, 2.5D classic version). You fight demons with cool monster design.
Fallout (PC, classic isometric version). You fight deathclaw with cool monster design

So I found that I like strong dangerous monstrous monsters.

100% a cartoon of some sort. Just don't remember who. Probably someone from the bugs bunny & tweety show

In hindsight, I should've had it say furry/scalie in the title

Strikerman

I'd let you know if it ever happens to me.

Kill Wolfhead from The Incal
[NSFW] https://scifiempire.net/wordpress/review-of-the-incal-by-jodorowsky-and-moebius/ [NSFW]

His dark black muzzle made me red hot. Giggle ^-^

Asriel! He's still my #1 furry crush to this day!

Tom.

I know this sounds typical but, Renamon. Specifically, Karabiner's art of Renamon. This image started my slow descent into the dark side
post #1508

I'm not sure i would have recognized it as such for many reasons at the time, but looking back, probably Tails

Its toss-up between Rouge the Bat and Krystal that got me into the fandom. The Gamecube came out around the time I had unrestricted access to the internet for the first time. Although my real first crush was Natia from Bomberman Hero.

Rainbow Dash

Its between either Maid Marian or Rebecca Cunningham from Tailspin

I'd have to go with Minerva Mink. Tail...so...fluffy!

Geronimo stilton....

Krystal from starfox adventures. I still remember getting the binoculars and trying to get up skirt shots. I had that little portable monitor on my gamecube, so most nights were good nights lol

i think all of us were trying to see up her shirt lol. shes a good looking fox. still is imo.

for me sandy cheeks and crystal fox as a kid.

I'm not sure if I've ever had a crush. Closest things are maybe balto, bowser, zangoose, and rambley_raccoon, but perhaps the first three are more an acknowledgment that they are hot, and for the last one, I just want to be his friend.

Sonic when I was SUPER young, although it was more as a joke. The one where I realized it actually was a crush? Rooney from animal crossing... and I can't lie, I still love Rooney.

Gee I have a ton ,w,

But my top 5 are

1 Asgore
2 Asriel
3 Fox McCloud
4 Lucario
5 Foxy (IM A SUCKER FOR PIRATES OK?!)

It was brief, but I was playing Super Smash Bros Brawl one night and a few ingame items of Krystal from Star Fox must have cemented a few things about myself. 😂

Vaporeon planted the seed, and Renamon watered it.
