Illustration of Nine-Tailed Fox

Nine-tailed foxes are clever creatures who can shapeshift into human form, though they always look a little fox-like. Most of them are very old and knowledgeable. They are fascinated by magical kitties and sometimes like to play tricks on them to test their cunning. Nine-tailed foxes are known to deceive humans regularly, but some choose to help out every now and then. They occasionally go into a town in human form to cause mischief and then vanish mysteriously afterwards. Some of these foxes long to be human and must seek out a magical way to permanently transform.

Reactions

  • Transform: The creature transforms into its other form (human or fox).
  • Convincing Lie: The fox lies to the kitty to distract them. The kitty believes the lie unless they pass a Cunning check.
  • Tail Flurry: Causes two Owies.

Adventure ingredients

  • Becoming Human: A nine-tailed fox asks the kitties for help in finding a way to become permanently human. If they aren't able to help her, she has threatened to eat them all up!
  • Deception: A nine-tailed fox is terrorizing a small human town. He steals food and other goods, startles merchants on the road so that their carts tip over, and tricks children into letting him into their homes so he can steal even more stuff. The town wants him gone! Can the kitties convince him to move to the Kingdom of Frost?
