The hellfox is a very unusual creature, seeming more like a spirit than a living creature. Hellfoxes are larger than other vulpines, standing at about the waist-height of a human. They have the same slender build as regular foxes, but they are most often mistaken for a wolf due to their size.
The species exhibits much finer control of energy than humans, actually able to "feed" off the energy from a recent death. The energy is used for a wide variety of tasks, such as repairing wounds, moving objects, and even things like defying gravity. The species gets its name from a defensive tactic of shrouding themselves in fire, normally the fur color of the individual. These abilties continue to baffle researchers and are currently regarded as supernatural phenomenon.
They are often portrayed as evil and wicked creatures, and may have inspired several old folk stories (See: Hellfoxes and Little Red Riding Hood, The hellfox and the Seven Goats) where they were again mistaken for a wolf. They are capable of human speech and are highly intellegent, and constantly seek knowledge their whole life.
The hellfox has no set lifespan- Its life relies on feeding off of the essence of the deceased. They are incredibly protective about keeping their age unknown, and as such we just kind of had to skim over this.
The hellfox is capable of slipping into a small self-contained pocket dimension, and often use it as a den or safe haven. They tend to enjoy observing human society. They tend to frequent places associated with death such as hospitals and morgues. The appearence of a hellfox is regarded as a bad omen, and is rumoured to precede the death of someone close to you.
