Polykin flag according to Beyond MOGAI Pride Flags[1]

Polykin is a label that refers to otherkin who have more than one species (being, creature, concept, object, etc.) they identify as.[2] Identical to “polytherians”, a polykin has more than one kintype they identify as. The prefix poly (meaning several, many, much, or multi-[3]) implies that there are several of something, and adding that prefix before kin (kintype) implies one has several kintypes. There are no limits to the number of kintypes one has. Because alter human experiences are so personal, individuals have their own unique reasoning and explanations behind their identity(s). Someone may use the label polykin to emphasize the presence of several kintypes due to spiritual, mental, psychological, or other reasons.[4] The term polykin does not refer to systems or polymorphs, as these are different subjects.[5]
