“Quads” is short for “quadrobics,” which is the act of moving on all fours like an animal. A lot of therian content online, especially on TikTok, includes quadrobics.

Interestingly, quadrobics didn’t start with therians. It came from people who wanted to move like horses—think hobby horse communities and similar groups. So originally it was more like a sport or challenge. But therians liked the idea of moving like an animal and adopted it.

Now, quadrobics is common in therian spaces online, but it’s not required or inherently part of therianthropy. I can’t do quadrobics myself for physical reasons, but people still ask me to. It's just one way of expressing therian identity—it’s not a requirement.
