evermore-grimoire: The Evermore Grimoire: CreaturesKitsune (狐, キツネ) are foxes that possess supernatural powers that increase as they get older and wiser in Japanese folklore. According to yōkai folklore, all foxes have the ability to shape-shift into human form especially once they reach the age of one hundred. One of the Japanese fox’s most well-known powers is kitsune-bi (狐火) or fox-fire. This is a red flame produced by a kitsune by either breathing or wagging its tail. They can have as many as nine tails and when a kitsune gains its ninth, its fur becomes white or gold. There are thirteen different types of kitsune, each with their own element, including Heaven, Dark, Wind, Spirit, Fire, Earth, River, Ocean, Mountain, Forest, Thunder, Time and Sound. artwork by enjoytheshirt -- source link
