Red foxes

Red foxes are one of the species that play a role in Perfidy.

Range
Red foxes, with a few small exceptions, all live in the northern isle of Vosselande.

Behavior
Red foxes are family-oriented and rather conservative Eses who prefer to stay on their island, not liking to do business with others or travel to other places much.

Abilities
Red foxes can bite, kick, and use their paws and claws to defend themselves or hunt.

Lifestyle
Adult male foxes live by themselves pretty much all their lives, only coming together with females when the vixens are in heat. Females usually live in small communities with up to five adult individuals together. The young they bear, called kits, are raised by all females together in this community.

Red foxes are known to be rather conservative and mostly don't like trying out new lifestyles or traveling far, making them not very open minded. The females leading the communities often stay together for life, raising generation after generation, while the kits move on once they've reached adulthood. Females raised together often stay together and form their own communities to continue the generations.

Kits are considered grown ups by the time they're twenty years old.

Diet
Originally only carnivorous, these Eses learned to adapt to modern times and later became omnivorous.

History
Not much is known about the history of red foxes, except that they don't have and never had a king or queen. Each separate little fox community has their own leader who is chosen by the female foxes democratically. When trouble does break out, the red foxes will simply fight it out, but hardly ever to death. The fights almost always end with one of the foxes submitting, and the winner's will will be carried out.

General
Red foxes are smaller canines with pointy ears, narrow muzzles and thick, long tails. Unlike most canines, they have slit rather than round pupils. Their claws are semi-retractable.

Fur colors
Red foxes come in one type of fur color only: brownish with black and white (sometimes pale gray) markings, sometimes also with darker brown or paler orange markings to be added. The black is often located at the ears and legs, whilst the white (or sometimes pale gray) is often situated on the muzzle, inner ears, chest and belly. The tail tip is always white or pale gray.

Eye color
The eyes are always a shade of brown.
