two-legged
Walking on feet
Two-legged describes anything having two legs.
The term applies to humans, birds, and certain robots or furniture.
It often distinguishes bipeds from four-legged animals: The two-legged intruder turned out to be a neighbor, not a bear.
Occasionally used dismissively about humans: every two-legged fool in the county.
