anthropomorphizable

Can seem human

Anthropomorphizable describes something capable of being given human characteristics, emotions, or intentions.

Animals, objects, and abstract concepts can all be anthropomorphized to varying degrees—some more readily than others.

A talking animal in a cartoon is easily anthropomorphizable; a rock less so, though not impossible.

Dogs are highly anthropomorphizable because their expressions seem to mirror human emotions.
