Xanadu is a furry fantasy comic book created by cartoonist Vicky Wyman which first appeared in 1988.

The setting is in a fantasy world that is populated by humanoid animals. The general society structure has a caste system made up of, in declining order of status:

  • Nobles - mythological creatures like unicorns and dragons.
  • Freeborn - wild animals such as foxes and hawks.
  • Domestique- animals that are domesticated ones in our world such as dogs and cats.

The heroes of the story are:

  • Tabbe Le Fauve, gentleman thief of a cat determined to defy this caste system
  • Jonathan, a cynical mule who is his partner.
  • Alicia - current unicorn Empress of Xanadu whose seemingly frivolous and voracious sexual appetites hide a cunning political skill and a reformer's social conscience.
  • Fatima - A buxom vixen who is Alicia's personal handmaiden and lover to Tabbe
  • Octavius - A stuffy dragon who is Alicia's personal advisor.
  • Kinomon - A young Golden Dragon warrior on loan from the allied Golden Realm.

The comics are noted for an atypical focus on romantic adventure orientation for fantasy with a tone closer to The Princess Bride than other works.
