The tag alias #77918 two_taur -> pushmi-pullyu is pending approval.

Reason: A two_taur is a taur character (or pair, depending on how you want to put it ....subspecies?) that is conjoined at the midsection of their feral/lower half.

Simply put, this is a pushmi-pullyu taur character, and can be found with such a search.

All two_taur posts have been validated to be tagged taur in preparation of this bur. [Search Validation]

imply two_taur -> pushmi_pullyu
imply two_taur -> taur

I guess this is also a good time to ask... Should a single pushmi-pullyu character be tagged 'solo' or 'duo'?

That name is absolutely adorable

But I also have never heard of it before so I don't know how many people have. (Granted I'm not a fan of taur content so I'm isolated from that community)

How are conjoined characters tagged? I'd assume that standard is comparable

It's a 'species' from Dr. Doolittle! Basically what it is here, two animals conjoined at (typically) the midsection.

We just use it here for tagging anything with a similar biology. Like Catdog

Conjoined characters are tagged both as conjoined and the location, with tags like conjoined_at_midsection.
The pushmi-pullyu tag is set up to where conjoined will be automatically tagged, so if we alias/implicate to that, it'll autotag as that as well.

Though... perhaps we should change imply pushmi-pullyu -> conjoined to imply pushmi-pullyu -> conjoined_at_midsection? That's pretty much implicit with the species. ....I think I'm going to make a separate BUR for that

pushmi-pullyu seems to be catdog esque taurs. (head on both ends, no butt) two_taur seems too ambiguous to be aliased to it.

There doesn't seem to be any form of two_taur (at least posted here) that doesn't fit the pushmi-pullyu
Maybe ones like post #3771307, but the only difference there is they both face the same direction. I still think it fits under the definition of pm-pu

i think it would be better as:

alias two_taur to multi_taur, or have two_taur imply multi_taur
then have pushmi-pullyu imply two_taur or multi_taur.

pushmi-pullyu can refer to non-taurs as well, it's any character that has a body layout that's mirrored at its torso.

Downvoted because some twotaurs face the same way, meanwhile pushmi-pullyus always face the opposite direction. Similarly, twotaurs to me are distinct from pushmi-pullyus in the fact that they look like one complete body with an extra top half at the back, while a twotaur looks more like if two taurs were cut in half and sewn together.

So a living palindrome

These aren't the same thing. pushmi-pullyu does not have to be taur:

post #2490926

So it doesn't work as an alias.

Perhaps this one could be additionally classified as that, since the upper bodies are mirrored:

post #4339866

But not this one, since the upper bodies are facing the same way:

post #3771307

So it doesn't work as an implication either.

I've been trying to split up multi_taur into more descriptive tags like multi_upper_body, multi_lower_body, long_taur, two_taur, rear_taur, feral_taur, etc, because multi_taur is too broad.

Honestly the term multi-taur is just unintuitive
It makes me think of those drawings of a centaur-centaur
