Kitsune

Kitsune are yōkai, or Japanese spirits. They possess hightened intelligence, supernaturally long lifespans, and magical abilities that get stronger the older they become.

The Kitsune in Of Monsters and Men feed off of human reverence, as well as physical sustenance.

Appearance
Kitsune can take the appearance of any species of Vulpes, or any recognized subspecies, the most common being the Red Fox. They take on three main forms: A full-fox form with anywhere from one to nine tails, a relaxed humanoid form (that is, human with fox characteristics such as ears, tails, and feet, and red or blue facial markings), or a fully glamored human form.

The human form varies, though all Kitsune are inherently genderless shapeshifters.

Abilities
A Kitsune's power is based on their age. A younger Kitsune is still suseptable to physical damage and must be healed through medical means in most cases. An older Kitsune will have control over seasons, rainfall, and soil quality.

All Kitsune possess a hoshi no tama, or Star Ball. When in human form, this ball possesses a store of the Kitsune's power and is hidden somewhere on their person at all times. If one were to steal a Kitsune's Star Ball, the Kitsune will serve them until the ball is inevtably stolen back.
