Homebrew Half Kitsune Species Details

Half-kitsune are able to retain physical features from both of their parents, like skin or hair color, although certain dominant characteristics are obvious. Most prominent are the tail and the fox ears that replace the human ears. Those features come in many colors and sizes found in foxes from different ecosystems around the world. A half-kitsune might be born without a tail or without their fox ears, but never without one or the other. Due to their showing features they are often called "fox ears" or "fox tail" by other pure humans.

Unlike their parents and ancestors, they are not blessed with an innate talent to cast magic. Their abilities as a shapechanger or as an illusionist are limited, however, that does not prevent them to pursue a magic career if they wish so.

Born usually from a human and a kitsune parent, half-kitsune is a combination of the two.
