Kitsunes are a mythical species that appear in The Menagerie trilogy.
Description[]
Kitsunes are a sentient Mostly Human creature that can transform from human to fox at will, also being able to change to include only certain parts of each animal, such as a fox tail only while in human form. Their original form is that of a fox, however.[1] They are a Japanese species, and thus can speak Japanese.[2]
