Overview

Foxes are canid, vulpine omnivores that live in the wild. Folklore of various cultures depict the fox as a trickster; in Japan, China, and Korea, for example, fox spirits are thought of as shape-shifters that sometimes take the forms of humans in order to trick people. In other nations, such as Great Britain, foxes have historically been hunted for sport by members of the nobility.

Foxes have appeared in numerous video games in a variety of forms over the years. This article highlights some examples of such depictions.
