Humans, I think? To like, go live among them and trick them and stuff.

[fishingforcompliments]

Is there any particular sort of human form they take? That is... is there some way to identify them for what they are, or are they indistinguishable from humans until they begin tricking them?

[shortforever]

Sexy ladies, I guess?

[Dazai was not a sexy lady kitsune though.]

The legends usually say that they can't hide their tails with magic, so they have to hide them under their clothes. So if you find a fox tail, it's a kitsune.

[Was he a sexy kitsune man?]

...but a tail would be difficult to hide under clothing, would it not?

[shortforever]

[He was actually kind of horrifying, so no.]

Not under a kimono, I guess. Or a poofy dress.

[Yikes. Hopefully he'll be sexier for Chuuya here. Actually that sentence was kind of cursed, strike it from the record.]

Oh - I suppose not. Then you could keep yourself safe by not associating with people wearing clothing of that type, correct?

[shortforever]

So you're saying I should never talk to a girl in a skirt again?

[Just. Listen to how ridiculous you sound, Flayn.]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

Well, I suppose that would be a little extreme.

[shortforever]

Right? I'm not gonna stop talking to girls just to avoid something that might not even be real.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes... but if you were in a place where you knew they were real, that would be one way to avoid them, I suppose.

Is it the same for the tanuki? Are they also unable to hide their tails?
