It's a classical Asian monster, they must be somewhere.
I remember it was in MM2 from 2nd edition but can't find it in any 3.5 edition text.

01-09-08, 08:33 AM There are the Hengeyokai from Oriental Adventures. If you want to use the Lycanthrope template from the MM, just use that and for the Fox stats look at the Hengeyokai animal forms.

Edit: Hengeyokai were updated to 3.5 in Dragon Magazine (don't recall which issue though). They are now of the Humanoid type with the (Shapechanger) subtype and have an LA of +0 IIRC.

Hope this helps,

01-09-08, 11:36 PM Yeah, that lack of werefox and/or kitsune stats really surprised me. And none of the d20 Rokugan stuff I've looked through so far has any either.

Fortunes & Winds has rules for kitsune and other spirits... I wasn't inspired with the stats though.

01-10-08, 02:55 PM Kitsune =/= werefox, lets just get that out there. As for a werefox being part of Asian myth, I don't recall hearing any legends about people forcibly transforming into foxes during full moons because they caught a magical curse/disease.

Anyway, I'm not a fan of the idea of Kitsune being allowed as PC races, but that could just be my bias due to the fact I portray them as they are in classical myth and not the modern anime and furry interpretation. :P

Otherwise, as said Fortunes and Winds has rules for kitsune and other shapshifting animals of lore. Creatures of Rokugan has stats for them as well. There is also this other book I heard about called "Kitsune Mori" (I believe) that uses them as a PC race.

01-14-08, 08:19 AM I don't want them for PCs, I'm looking for the monster to attack the PCs with. :)

I completely agree with you about them not being "Lycanthropes".
