Mirruva Fox
By: manfred

A smaller cousin of the typical fox, closer to trees.

Full Description

With its smaller body, slightly longer legs and tail, and adapted feet, it is much nimbler on trees than a common fox that does not enter this domain so frequently.

Additional Information

The Mirruva Fox is an excellent hunter, that can be trained to locate, and hunt down game if sufficiently small. Given its ability on trees it is best in bringing down birds, squirrels, and finding other useful forest resources.

Since it is not as majestic as birds of prey, it is rarely used by the nobles and royalty, but is more favoured by the common hunters and poachers. The training is fairly easy, and a cub can bond quickly to its master, but a major diffilcuty is its lack of trust. It has good memory of creatures (and people), and anyone that harms it even a single time, will never be trusted by it. Even a little accident as stepping on its foot can destroy the relationship between a fox and its master. Therefore, it is not rare to turn such a fox into a gift to another hunter, once it has become accustomed to living with humans.

Its adaptability and contact with civilised folk has led it closer to their settlements and into cities, living of all the scraps that can be found there. It has become the ghost of many roofs, scourge of pigeons, even a thief, entering through windows open to the night - stealing food only despite the stories. Foxes stealing jewelry are thieve’s assistents.

Naturally, in most cities are laws that command their extermination… what a luck so many abandoned places and run-down neighbourhoods still exist.

A 'fence-walker' lifeform I'll call it. It straddles fanatasy and the pages of Nat Geo. I always enjoy these type of creatures. Bring on more!

I would throw in an anecdotal tale and a tad bit more of detail, but its fine as it is.

I think this a wonderful seed for a more detailed submission. I like it a lot, it would fit well into my city based campaign. May work on a version of my own.....

I had some trouble reading this submission. Anyway, that aside, I like it. Good idea.

A nice lifeform: good details, nice elements of the ecology, and a realistic "ring" to the critter. Now I know others judge it harshly because it does not mangle PCs or have a key role in a game. However, it will make a nice addition to a campaign, adding flavor and functionality to a hunter character. (And it would be a good familiar as well.)

From an episode of Justice League Unlimited: The God of War creates a giant, unstoppable robot (golem, animated armor, etc.) as a weapon for one side in a civil war; his purpose is to prolong the war and create suffering and war among humanity. Quote from Ares in that episode, which would go well with this idea: "That's all you mortals are good for! To fight and fight and fight until there is nothing left but charred land and blood and bones, and to end it all and then start again with the next generation!"
