Familiar

This is a male fox with red fur and orange eyes.  A thick coat of red covers his entire body, fading into black on his legs and at the tip of his ears and tail.  Alert orange eyes peer out over his black muzzle with a solemn smirk.

Foxes are masters of deceit and grant their consort access to many abilities. They can be found around Liathyr and randomly in the Northlands and Cimbra. They have some degree of night  vision.

Bonding Requirements

One was bonded with just over 80 in both tactics and manipulation.

Bond "Quirks"

• Has lots of Special Attacks which may be useful at low levels, but will almost always be suspended at higher levels for more spirit efficient and damaging attacks
• Throwing is Primary Skill (16), unfortunately only utilized by Special Attacks (see above)
• Imagination is important for Combat Bonuses, but it's an 8 not a 16 Spec Access
• Shape Change is purely cosmetic, shifting into Fox actually makes you worse in combat. Also I believe you show up as your name, so....
