River Kitsunes
River kitsunes possess powers like shapeshifting, into insect, and other aquatic creatuers. River kitsunes can shapeshift into large humanoid forms or smaller amphibious forms, like seals. When they reach a sufficient age kitsunes can also grow tentacles from between their legs or at the back of there neck. The older they get, the more tendrils they can sprout.
River Kitsunes are known for their voracious appetites and love of food and drinks. They possess no sense of hygiene and will slurp liquids directly from a bowl instead of using cups to drink them. River kitsunes do not practice etiquette and prefer to eat with their bare paws (or hands in in human form) rather than using utensils when given the alternative option.
kitsunes undergo maturation phases in which they lose touch with reality; this process brings about new maturations in the kitsune’s physical such as sharper teeth, elongated claws, and in some cases, barbs along with their tails. During these phases, kitsunes are known to take on new physical characteristics that better reflect their descriptor. For Kawa kitsunes this means they grow fins, gills, and webbed paws . They also develop a thick layer of scales along their body which helps them swim through the water with ease.
Kawa kitsune are the most reclusive of all the kitsune descriptors, preferring to live near or in watery environments such as swamps, lakes, or rivers. They make their homes in abandoned buildings, caves, or crevices under rocks – anywhere that provides them easy access to the water they love so much. River Kitsunes also make excellent companions . They are known to be loyal, though kitsunes are very fickle creatures who are easily bored or distracted and they like to steal your stuff and anything else the can get there paws on.
