OP A challenge: I'm currently writing about anthropomorphism and I need a better, shorter, wittier way to say "anthropomorphic being." We're surrounded by them: from Mickey Mouse to the smiling Mac icon (are emoticons anthropomorphic typographic characters?), but, oddly, there's no single word or nickname to describe them. At least that I know of….
Preëmptive YART alert: there's an old thread about anthropomorphic inanimate objects, but I need a word for anything that's been anthropomorphized. And besides, no one could think of anything.
