Kitsune

Kitsune or Fox Folk is a sapient species of intelligent human-like foxes. Their natural form looks like humans with fox ears and foxtails. All of them have the ability to magically ignite weapons and shapeshift into other.

They also have the ability to reproduce with other similarly shaped humanoids. However, the infants are born as shapeshifted Kitsune in order to protect the young.
