Throughout East Asia, the fox is considered an animal predisposed to magic and prone to developing ghostly qualities. Foxes are both divine and mischievous beings, adept at shape shifting, illusion and often accused of possessing and misleading humans. As a sign of its seniority and wisdom, a long-lived fox develops an extra tail with each passing century, until it possesses nine, becoming impossibly powerful and clever.
