Homebrew Elven Fox Species Details

Elven Foxes are a magical race of foxes that have fused with the faerie light and magic from the ancient forests of tall mystical yet mysterious trees and plant growth and deserts of glittering pearl white sand and splendid oasis. Where a soft breeze always blows and where the sounds of elven nature harmonize. Elven Foxes are native to a pocket realm that is easily accessible to anybody with elven blood. Elven Foxes are great hunters and learners but are very tricky and sly. They are prone to stealing food from the other elven creatures that live with them. Elven Foxes are also very rare, sometimes considered myths by most societies.

Elven Foxes are elegant and graceful like the elves they like with. Elven Foxes are covered in a coat of Snow White fur that faintly glows faerie blue. Elven Foxes also have the innate ability to unintentionally steal light from anything like fireflies or torch light from passerby. Elven Foxes have horns reminiscent of willow trees, these branches odd coil and twist in odd ways. Instead of having claws like normal foxes, Elven Foxes have horse hooves. Elven foxes also have tails with magnificent beauty and grace, having small strands of mint green fur that awed all who gazed upon it.

Elven Foxes are much bigger than regular foxes, averaging at about 5 ft long and 3ft tall, also weighing at an average of 90 to 185 pounds. Male Foxes tend to be heavier and have horns while females are lighter and don’t have horns. Elven Foxes never grow gray hair but their fur slowly becomes bluer as they age. Elven Foxes are hesitant to approach anything that is dark in color but they are very attracted to jewels and trinkets.

Elven Foxes can live well over 500, giving them mass amounts of knowledge and strange views of life. The oldest and wisest Elven Fox is appointed as the alpha of the tribe, other Elven Fox seek advice from these alphas such as hunting routes, locations of civilization and many other things. Elven Foxes are most likely don’t mean harm if they cause trouble or any of the sort, seeing mischief as a game rather than something frowned upon. Most Elven Foxes tend to stay on their toes even when at their tribe, always weary of poachers and predators. Despite the fact that they live in the wild, Elven Foxes are fast learners. Learning how to read, write and in some cases, speak broken Elvish and Common.

Like the elves they observe, Elven Foxes are very flexible when faced with a threat, tending to think out possibilities before responding to threats. However, when faced with a big threat, Elven Foxes tend to run away from it, preferring to hide rather than possibly die. Unlike the elves who learn hobbies and interests, Elven Foxes tend to learn the bare minimum to survive, using the rest of their time to hone these skills. Most of the time, young Elven Foxes tend to explore the mythical biomes they call home. Thus, bestowing a deep love of adventuring and the unknown. These Elven Foxes tend to be much more brave and adventurous than their homebody counterparts. 

Elven Foxes also seem to have an innate sense of justice to those who harass the animals that live with them in their pocket realm. Ironically, they do not bring other Elven Foxes to justice if they commit such actions. Elven Foxes are also very mysterious genetic wise, having very stagnant genes. This causes the Elven Fox to have no subraces and not be able to breed with any other race.
