anthropomorphs
Beings resembling people
Anthropomorphs are figures or representations with human form or characteristics.
The term appears most often in archaeology and rock art studies, describing ancient depictions of humanlike beings—whether intended as humans, gods, or spirits.
Cave paintings showing bipedal figures with human bodies but animal heads are anthropomorphs.
The word overlaps with anthropomorphic but functions as a noun for the figures themselves rather than an adjective describing the quality.
