Foxes

The Fox is commonly found in Rokugan's hills and forests, Kitune Mori in particular, living among the magical Kitsune spirits. The red-tailed fox lives on a diet of rodents and other small creatures. Foxes are swift creatures, and are faster than horses, and use this speed and cunning to avoid danger. Within Kitsune Mori it is illegal to kill a fox, and in general it is considered bad luck to kill one anywhere. (3E p. 279)
