Well, I'm going to include scalies because they're part of the Furry package in my book...
I love Yoshi (absolute favorite, no doubt about it), Spyro, Diddy Kong, Abu (I had an Aladdin game for N64, so yeah), Crash Bandicoot, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, practically every Pokemon, and I'm going to include the Dragoon forms of the characters from Legend of Dragoon even though they don't especially count. ((They're not in any particular order.))
I think that's it...
