Line 74:
== 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 Withwith 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.
 
'''North American Foxes'''
Line 89:
 
== Films: Animated ==
* The eponymous character of ''[[Yobi the Five Tailed Fox (Animation)|Yobi, the Five Tailed Fox]]''
* Disney's version of ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]'', which was originally intended to be an [[Animated Adaptation]] of the Reynard myths, until Disney realized just how much "Anti" an [[Anti-Hero]] Reynard really was.
* The title character in ''[[The Fantastic Mr. Fox]]''.
 
Line 97:
* ''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.
 
 
Line 119:
 
== Video Games ==
* There are several [[Palette Swap|Palette Swapped]] fox girls in the Korean MMORPG ''[[LataleLa Tale]]''. One variety is even called Gumihos. They were so popular the company later added them as a pet.
** Similarly, they are an enemy in ''[[Maple Story]]'', although they appear as multi-tailed foxes rather than girls with multiple tails and ears.
* Xiaomu in ''[[Namco X Capcom (Video Game)|Namco X Capcom]]'' and ''Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier'' is a 765 Chinese year old werefox, while her nemesis Saya is a [[Kitsune|Japanese werefox]].
* ''[[Pokémon Black and White (Video Game)|Pokémon Black and White]]'' introduces Zorua and Zoroark, which are based on foxes and can create illusions in addition to the [[Kitsune]]-based Vulpix and Ninetales from ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue (Video Game)|Pokémon Red and Blue]]''.
** The Eeveelutions also resemble foxes (except for Espeon).
* 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.
Line 128:
 
== Web Comics ==
* Reynardine of ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court (Webcomic)|Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' is based on the tale of Reynard the Fox.
 
 
== Web Original ==
* From the [[SCP Foundation (Wiki)|SCP Foundation]]: [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-953 SCP-953], an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Kitsune]]...ahem, ''[[Insistent Terminology|kumiho]]''.
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* The servants of Wa Shi Tong in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. They appeared as foxes and gathered books and scrolls for a mighty library.
* ''[[Moi Renart (Animation)|Moi Renart]]'': Reynard in [[The Eighties]].
