Fox (Forge)

Foxes are canines with red fur and bushy tails. They have flat heads, pointed ears, and long snouts. These animals are nocturnal hunters with keen eyesight.

They are omnivores and expert hunters. They eat rabbits, rodents, birds, frogs, earthworms, berries, and carrion. Giant foxes hunt small deer, young boars, and wolf pups. Foxes live in almost any climate and terrain, including deserts, mountains, grasslands, and forests. A fox lair is usually an underground den with several tunneled chambers and a few exits.

Males and females have the same characteristics, and both are fiercely protective of their young.
