D&D Kitsune

Physical Description
Kitsune are fairly short individuals, usually not getting much taller than dwarves in size. In their natural form they are much like anthropomorphic foxes. They usually have light colored fur, reddish brown, white, golden brown, though it isn't completely unheard of for them to posses black fur that covers their entire body. Some may have multiple colors in their fur such as being mostly reddish brown with white gloves and socks. Their eyes range in colour as well, though most have blue, green, or brown eyes. Albeit uncommon they may also have orange, purple, yellow, or even red eyes.

They have mostly human-like hands though they do possess dark black claws at the ends of their fingers. They also have paw pads on their feet and hands, much like a fox. A kitsune is born with a single tail, but as they grow older they gain more tails. It is very uncommon for a nine-tailed kitsune to be any less than 60 years old, growing a new tail every 5-6 years starting when they reach adulthood at 16. However, a Kitsune's age is very difficult to tell since they appear to stop aging in their early twenties and live to be a century and a half or so.

Society
Lead by a council of elder Kitsune, each village is a stand alone entity. There is very little contact between seperate towns, due to distance and security fears.

All kitsune respect forests, due to their settlements being exclusivly located within them
