Therian Therian

Therian - Definition and Overview

The therian subclass of mammals are those which bear live young, including both placentals and marsupials. Almost all currently extant mammals are therians. The only exceptions are the platypus and the echidnas, both of which are monotremes.

Therian is also another term for a therianthrope.
