A girl greats you into her house. You find yourself finally alone with her. She leaves you in a room to change, but you notice a strange fur all over the floor. You were too slow to realize you were caught by a Kitsune, and now you pay the consequences.



Ecology

Although the first Kitsunes were born from magic alone, now they breed with other species. From their union with a humanoid comes always a Kitsune, and from a union with a beast comes always a fox.

When they are born, their magical power manifests in two ways. The first is the appearence of Kitsunebi, small fire elementals orbiting around Kitsunes. The other is the formation of numerous tails. The most tails a Kitsune has, the more powerful it is.

Kitsunes are fond of lore and secrets. Having no official history or culture, they consume any knoledge from any source. They are hence an excellent source of information. Beware, though, they could give you hoaxes and fake news.

Their innate power allows them to possess humanoids. People possessed by Kitsune are easily recognizable from the presence of the Kitsune's tails from their back. Additionally, the person will behave drastically different.

ABILITIES

Keen Senses --> the Kitsune has advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks using smell or hearing.

Magic Resistance --> the Kitsune has advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.

Shapechanger --> as an action, the Kitsune can polymorph into a Medium or Small humanoid, or back into its original form. While polymorphed, the Kitsune retains all its tails, or one tail and another minor fox characteristic (wiskers, eyes, longer ears). The Kitsune's Claw attack can only be used in the Kitsune's original form.

Innate Spellcasting --> the Kitsune can cast the following spells (DC 17). A Kitsune has access to any spell of a number of tails equal or less than the number of the Kitsune's tails.

At will: prestidigitation

3/day each

1-tailed: charm person, suggestion

2-tailed: faerie fire

3-tailed: puppet

5-tailed: fire bolt, as if it was cast by a 5th level caster

7-tailed: misty step

9-tailed: major image



ATTACKS

Multiattack --> the Kitsune makes two Claw attacks, or one Claw attack and casts a spell.

Claw --> +6 bonus to hit, the Kitsune targets one attack against a creature. On a hit, the creature takes 1d6+3 slashing damage.

Possession (6) --> the Kitsune selects one Large or smaller humanoid within 15ft of it. The target must make a DC 16 Charisma saving throw. If it fails, the Kitsune disappears. The target is incapacitated and loses control of its body. The Kitsune now controls the body but doesn't deprive the target of awareness.

The Kitsune can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect, except ones that specifically target fiends, and it retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma scores, and immunity to being charmed and frightened. It otherwise uses the possessed target's stats, but doesn't gain access to the target's knowledge, class features, or proficiencies.

The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 Hit Points, the Kitsune ends it as a Bonus Action, or the Kitsune is forced out by an effect like the Dispel Evil and Good spell. When the possession ends, the Kitsune reappears in an unoccupied space within 15ft of the target.

The target is immune to this Kitsune's Possession for 2 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession ends.





Final Comments

This was a blast to draw, really had lots of fun. I searched online for a Kitsune stat block, but I got only overpowered stuff. Since I wanted it to be less powerful, but still menacing, I wrote this. Hope you liked it!
