Phantom tail syndrome is a form of supernumerary phantom limb syndrome, which is where one feels limbs that the individual never had. Phantom tail syndrome is used amongst the therian and otherkin communities to describe feeling limbs associated with their theriotype or kintype, such as tails, wings, paws, etc. The person with phantom tail syndrome will feel their extra part as if it was real, similar to someone with phantom limb syndrome. Unlike those with phantom limb syndrome, sufferers sometimes report losing the feeling of these extra parts, sometimes by choice.
