== Reynard the Fox ==

Reynard is an anthropomorphic fox that appeared in multiple European fables as a trickster. In basically all non-censored versions he plays the role of a [[Villain Protagonist|black-hearted robber baron]], whose only saving grace is that his opponents Noble the lion, [[Everything's Worse ~~With~~ Bears|Bruin the bear]], and (most of all) [[Big Badass Wolf|Ysengrim the wolf]], are equally greedy and vicious, but not as smart. Known enough in France that the entire Fox species was renamed after him.

* ''Forbidden Love'' was another Korean tv drama with a race of nine-tailed fox-people, one of whom falls in love with a human.

* ''Gumiho: Tale of the Fox's Child'' was a Korean [[Thriller]] tv miniseries about a gumiho who has to endure 10 years of marriage to become human. On the eve of her 10th anniversary, her husband breaks his vows, leaving her and the 9-year-old daughter who has inherited her abilities. Oddly, the gumiho in this story is sympathetic, only wishing a normal life as a human. It is only when her daughter is lynched that she becomes vengeful.

* Keen-eared viewers of ''[[~~Torchwood (TV)|~~Torchwood]]'' will realize that a fox's bark proceeds mysterious events, such as the carnival vanishing in "From Out of the Rain" and Tosh's abduction in "Countrycide". In the latter case, Ianto even points out that it's a fox and distractedly follows the sound, leaving her alone in the first place.

* Ahri from ''[[League of Legends]]'' draws on both Japanese and Korean myth. As a spellcaster, her main attacks resemble Kitsune-bi, but her backstory makes her sound more like a Gumiho -- after she achieved semi-human form, she began seducing and killing humans to complete her transformation, but as she became more and more human she developed a human conscience.
