Fox



The fox is a small predator that is found in various areas around the Eastern Kingdoms, Pandaria, the Wandering Isle and the Broken Isles. They tend to be clever and cunning.

Foxes are a good test of a hunter's skills, and their fluffy tails can be sold for fine profit to boot. Fox tails are as good to hang on a belt to ward off fleas as they are to line the gloves of a fancy noble. During frigid nights in the Storm Peaks, the arctic fox kits use their fluffy tails as a blanket to stay warm.

Alpine foxlings burrow deep into snowbanks to hide from predators, and their kits occasionally sneaks bites of food from kills made by much larger animals.

The fighting in Tol Barad has made it difficult to find the native fox kits, and numerous would-be owners have decimated the fox population there as a result.

The sleek Llothien prowlers can prowl amongst newly-fallen leaves without making a sound, despite their large size.

Vulpin are foxlike creatures native to Ardenweald in the Shadowlands.
