What's the word I'm thinking of?

There's another word that means the similar thing as 'personification', i.e. giving a animal or thing human traits. I think it ends with 'morphosis'. Could anyone tell me what that word is? It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't quite bring it out of my head.

Thanks"

Yeah, just don't do it to computers - they hate it.
