Well, look at what an animal uses it's tail for. Mostly balance. So, with
that as a constant, what would people use it for, mostly balance. Ok, now
people aren't -used to- having a tail, so it would end up (As the mighty
Calvin once said) being a necktie for your butt.

It makes a definitive look. (Would a classic 'devil' be the same without a
tail? How about Godzilla?)

But, back to the tail. the 'shadowfurry' tails are fairly articulated,
enough to use as a 'limited' arm (IE : you can't exactally fire a gun with
it, but you can hold yourself onto a pipe or something.)

Hanging from the celing by your tail... Hmm... Playin' 'Possum? Now
THATS muscle control...

Heh. How 'bout while he was hanging by it? :X)

Alright, I'm stupid, but what is this ShadowFurry stuff? How can you
get it?
