Foxtaurs are a race of bipedal foxes native to the island chain of Odo. Although once numerous they are now quite rare due to deforestation and hunting. From fragments of a journal written by an explorer they are avid nest builders and expert nap takers. Ruled by a powerful warrior elite, the clans of Odo lived the centuries in an cyclic peace. With the arrival of invasive species and a market for their pelts, foxtaurs were driven deep into the forests of Odo. Some foxtaurs chose to leave the islands and can be found as shrewd traders and skillful mercenaries throughout the known world.
Young foxtaurs are called kits. Kits stay with their family tribe and full maturity is reached at fifteen years of age. Although there is much speculation, foxtaurs are not related to kitsunes, nor do they possess multiple tails. The tail of a foxtaur will grow well into maturity and is a sign of prowess among the warrior caste. To lose one's tail in battle is the greatest shame to befall a foxtaurian warrior. Foxtaur society functioned in a feudal system. The head of the largest and most powerful families in Odo joined together to form clans, with half a dozen or more clans active at any given. Clans were divided amongst nobles, warriors, artisans and peasants. Warriors served their nobles, who in turn served their own head of family. Artisans were hired by clans and peasants were migrants with no true allegiance to the clan.
