Homebrew Foxfolk Species Details

Quick on their feet and quicker with a word, members of fox folk communities are known for being high energy and mischievous. Indeed, a favorite pastime of younger members of fox folk communities are trickery.

This may be in part because most fox folk communities revere Reynard, the fox god who tricked the old wolf Isengrim. Fox folk villages and neighborhoods are found in any environment and are always welcoming, though guests should be on the lookout for tricks.
