Culture/Origin of Species: The Fox Yokai, also known as a Kitsune, is a mythical beast with many mysterious powers. They are generally crafty and deceptive individuals that enjoy a good prank or guise. Most Kitsune enjoy the culture and climate of Hisakawa and live solitary, not in large groups like some yokai. Many are stereotyped to be thieves and untrustworthy due to their inherent nature.

Traits:
• Kitsunebi | Fox Yokai can manifest a unique blaze of fire known as Kitsunebi, or "fox fire". The color of Kitsunebi varies from fox to fox and often reflects the nature of their soul or personality. The Kitsunebi has either hot or cold properties and can assist the fox in use of illusions.
• Shapeshifting | Kitsune are adept at the art of disguise, and as such can freely shapeshift into almost any form they wish.
• Illusions | Along with shapeshifting, Kitsune can utilize various small visual and audible illusions to aid in their trickery. These illusions are harmless and cannot be physically touched.
• Kitsunetsuki | Being a wicked species at their roots, all foxes have the ability to possess individuals through a process known as Kitsunetsuki.
• Kyuubi | Over the course of its lifetime, generally many millennia should one survive long enough, a fox will grow to have a total of nine tails. These tails can potentially be used as weapons or be prehensile should a kitsune manipulate them as such. The tails typically can resize.

Flaws:
• Kitsune cannot sustain shapeshifting for long, and many times when in human form, are unable to fully disguise their tails, ears, claws, or fangs.
• Kitsunetsuki can sometimes be ineffective as features of the fox's physical form, such as tails, ears, claws, and the like can manifest.
• Though keen, cunning, and swift, foxes are generally more fragile than most magical creatures. As such, most do not live long enough to see their ninth tail.
