Appearance

Kitsune are natural shapechangers and possess two different forms. Their natural form is that of an anthropomorphic fox while their alternate form is an attractive humanoid with a slender build and piercing eyes.^[6]

Adventurers

Kitsune often succeed as rogues, investigators, and bards. Kitsune who practise their magical abilities tend more toward sorcerers or oracles, and those who forge a stronger connection to the spirits may become witches.^[7]

On Golarion

Small communities of kitsune are known to dwell within the depths of the Forest of Spirits, they are the only humanoids whose settlements the kami are willing to tolerate in the heart of the forest itself, all other communities are restricted to only the forest's outskirts.^[8]
