Homebrew Fox Species Details

Occasionally a vulpine will be born with fur that glitters with a gold sheen in the sunlight and red eyes. Considered an omen of misfortune by some clans and a sign of favor by others, fey-touched vulpine are the product of the fey ancestry of the vulpine race. In many clans, fey-touched are ostracized or even excited as nameless.

In addition to their unique appearance, fey-touched live for centuries. Notably, they gain an additional tail with each century they age. This continues until their ninth tail. At this point, they gain the ability to control the number of tails visible.
