Suntherianthropy (Suntherianthrope or Suntherian) pronounced "soontherianthropy" was a term invented by WordWolf on April 18th, 2005. It was not a community coined term. Instead WordWolf created the term to describe his own personal experiences. The terms Suntherianthropy and Suntherian are interchangeable.
WordWolf defined a suntherian as
"a therian whose therioside (primary or sole therioside) is integrated into his[their] baseline personality. However, that integration does not prevent him/her[them] from having minor fluctuations of mood that feel slightly more animal, or slightly less animal. He/she[They] can feel them both at the same time, human and animal. He/she[They] can not mental shift into his/her[their] base theriotype (whether primary or sole)." [1]
This is different from the accepted meaning of Contherian in that a contherian is always in a state between shifted and non-shifted. And many members of the community prefer to use the community coined term Vacillant Therianthropy instead. (Note that Vacillant Therians do have mental shifts.)
