Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Foremost among these is the ability to assume human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others — as foxes in folklore often do — others portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives.

Kitsune are foxes. This is not to say they are mystical beings who have a fox form; they are all the foxes in the land. Kitsune are mischievous, and delight in causing trouble, but when pressed they stop their tricks or run. They are not combative, fighting only when cornered, and then only as long as it takes to get a chance to escape. While they have the ability to conjure fire and lightning, it’s more a plaything than a weapon. Sprouting new tails marks the status of a Kitsune in their path towards enlightenment. At first level, the Kitsune is distinguished from normal foxes by sprouting a second tail. They gain an additional tail at each level. Having Masterhood in Monster is worth another tail, as is any knighthood. Nine-tailed Kitsune are no longer red, but instead silver, gold, black or white. There is a ten-tailed Kitsune, but she is the mother of all Kitsune, a unique creature known simply as The Lady.

Foxes and human beings lived in close proximity in ancient Japan; this companionship gave rise to legends about the creatures. Kitsune have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto kami or spirit, and serve as his messengers. This role has reinforced the fox's supernatural significance. The more tails a kitsune has — they may have as many as nine — the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence, some people make offerings to them as to a deity.

"Do not touch my ball. Do not take my ball....You know what? Forget that I even have a ball! -- Taver Firestrike

Description

Kitsune are foxes. This is not to say they are mystical beings who have a fox form; they are all the foxes in the land. Kitsune are mischievous, and delight in causing trouble, but when pressed they stop their tricks or run. They are not combative, fighting only when cornered, and then only as long as it takes to get a chance to escape. While they have the ability to conjure fire and lightning, it’s more a plaything than a weapon. Sprouting new tails marks the status of a Kitsune in their path towards enlightenment. At first level, the Kitsune is distinguished from normal foxes by sprouting a second tail. They gain an additional tail at each level. Having Masterhood in Monster is worth another tail, as is any knighthood. Nine-tailed Kitsune are no longer red, but instead silver, gold, black or white. There is a ten-tailed Kitsune, but she is the mother of all Kitsune, a unique creature known simply as The Lady.
