Kitsunes are very rare within Odoria, as rare as Phoenixes. These more reserved beings tend to stay in their fox form, only rarely shape-shifting into Human form when necessary. There are 4 elements that kitsunes are created with: Water, Fire, Plant and Air. This allows them to control that element and are essentially spiritually attached to them. Kitsunes, in addition, are born with 1 tail and more tails grow overtime to a max of 9 in their lifespan (which can vary greatly to about 700-1200 years).

The Kitsumizu are water-based Kitsunes! They are worshiped or feared depending on where you go. Humans generally fear them because they are very vengeful and they... Well, humans have a history of enslaving races weaker than them. Kitsunes are Immortal, but they want to make sure the humans know they're more powerful so they don't even try to hurt them. Kitsumizu are friendly but playful spirits by nature, causing minor mischief but never actively seeking to harm others without reason.

Kitsunohi, fire Kitsunes, however, are much more destructive. They rarely seek out trouble, despite it following them wherever they go. Some embrace the harmful lifestyle, other seek to be accepted into tribes of Hegal/Erro/Taurians to feel safe, in exchange for cooking of food, easy fire starting, and protection from wild animals and/or humans.

Kitsunojo are very friendly, plant-based Kitsunes, often taking on the form of younger humanoids (please for the love of god do not sexualize them, just because they're over the age of 18 and LoOk lIkE MinOrS, it's not something I want for Odoria. Keep Loli shit to yourself.) and pretending to be lost children, not to cause trouble, but because it's just fun to be taken care of to them. They often are seen as omens of good luck (I guess you can say... They're a Good Omens (euthanize me I crave death)), so they're worshiped and prayed to by most societies for good harvests.

Kitsunuki are air-based Kitsunes! They generally keep to themselves and occasionally have wings and are the second most friendly and liked Kitsune. They're very kind and friendly, especially to children, but tend to flee when adults show themselves. They're fearful of human adults but occasionally stick around with other species as long as they're unarmed.
