Welcome to the Kitsusagi Realms! The Realms are a wonderful and magical place, filled with all sorts of terrain, creatures, plants, and much more. The main residents of the Realms are called Kitsusagi, a fox-like creature with long ears and three tails. Humans do not exist in the Realms, and Kitsu are considered the most intelligent and advanced species. They walk on four legs, but have small thumbs on their front paws, which help them to grasp and hold things. And, of course, they can use magic...

It's always great to see new and old faces here, and we hope you enjoy your time in the Realms!

There's a story passed down by the enlightened of the time before.

When Gods walked the earth and magic soaked the air. The Divine created all life, form, and structure of the world and the magic caused it to mutate, adapt, and evolve to fit the world. Divine hands are said to have guided each life form in to its necessary shape during these magical times. There was natural peace, then, the birth of civilization. It wasn't long before kingdoms rose with culture and ideals alongside.

Not all Gods saw value in this peace. It was them who planted the seeds of darkness, evil, and chaos in the hearts and minds of all creatures. It was not long before Kitsusagi learned and followed the chaos and evil.

It came to a head. War and destruction broke out among Kitsusagi. The Gods turned their backs on the world and the magic that connected the realms ceased. This time is know as many things. The Great Sin. The Shattering. The Time of Shame.

During this time, cycles of Life and Death broke down without their Gods' magic to guide them and Kitsu cut off from their homelands experienced a devastating sickness called 'The Fading.' What magic left in the realms seemed to pool in to areas thought to be cursed by the survivors. The Wild Magic in these areas, no longer having the hands of the Gods guiding it, mutate lifeforms with no regard or intention.

The Guardians, once made as companions to Kitsu and protectors of divine spaces, found themselves taking up the charge to protect the Gates in hopes that they could be restored. Others helped Kitsusagi try to rebuild.

It's been 200 years since then and while we've attained so much in that time.... there's still so many pieces left to pick up.

How do I get a Kitsusagi?
Customs, Events, Games, and eventually even RLC.​

Can we Co-own?
We will honor all previous co-owner agreements, however, going forward only Kitsu won from auctions can be co-owned.​

Can we RP without a Cert?
You may RP on discord without a cert, but to post for Silver, participate in most events, or RP in the guild you must have a cert.​

How long does it take to fully grow?
Orbs take a week to grow and kits two weeks. Any future stages may be earned through various means.​

Can same gendered pets breed?
Yes! Gender is more of an expression in the Realms and has no bearing on breeding since it's all magic based.​

Are the lines gendered?
No, no matter what lines you receive your Kitsu on, you choose the gender. Feminine, Masculine, or Androgynous for certing purposes.​

Do hybrids exist?
Hybrids will be incredibly rare moving forward, as such, it will be harder to get them. Though they will show up from time to time in events or as part of RLC.​

How is polyamory seen?
Your character can have as many partners as they want but for breeding purposes, only 3 Kitsusagi can be considered at a time to make kits.​

How many times can a Kitsusagi breed?
It's unlimited, however, any litter they have must be fully grown and certed before they can enter another breeding.​

What about the old lines from the original shop(s)?
All old lines, or Legacy lines, have been retired, aside from certain special circumstances which will be rare. Legacy Kitsu are still valid in this shop, no conversions needed, but any new customs or breedings will go on the new lines.​

I don't see my legacy Kitsu's breed?
As part of this shop's story line we are going to be re-releasing the breeds over time. You can still rp your legacy Kitsu privately, however we will ask that they not join in metas or shop ORP's until their breed returns. Any breedings from that Kitsu will default to a species of a similar category. For example, If a Legacy Seraphim were to breed before it's rediscovered it would have a Celestial based kit. Such as an Angelic or a rarer breed if they are available. Some breeds are also combining but that will be explained as we go along.​

Why did you decide to retire the original lines?
The two major things that influenced the decision to retire them was having a more cohesive look and being able to make templates that can be easily used across breeds.​

Are cosplays allowed?
Yes! However, the cosplay pet is not the actual character they are based off of. They can share personality, name, and even backstory if it fits the setting, but they are not the character. This means there can be multiple Soras, Pikachu, Usagi, ect. We only require that they are either different species, a different outfit, etc. Something that sets them apart at least 20%.​

Can my Kitsusagi have items or weapons?
Kitsusagi are allowed to have item and weapon edits. However, unless they fit the setting, they will be little more than props. Most standard weapons, like swords, staves, and bows will work just perfectly. Guns would have to be reviewed or might have some magical explanation if possible.​

Do Kitsusagi have special powers?
Every Kitsu has abilities or powers. Some are through the breed they are and others through the class they might chose. See the Combat section in the group for more details!​

All Kitsusagi are born from a magical orb, sometimes referred to as an 'egg.' They 'hatch' after 1 week and remain a kit for 2 weeks.
The different breeds of Kitsusagi fall into three categories based on the influence of the Gods and their alignments. Celestials are typically influenced by the good and lawful, Infernal the chaotic and evil, and Naturals typically are some sort of balance.
The Art of Kitsusagi Realms are made on bases and many elements of them can be templated, including breed edits, accessories, hair, clothing, ad other body edits. Our bases are meant for particular breeds. Naturals (Earthborn, tundra, fauna), Celestials (Angelics, Kirin, Tenku), Infernals (Nightmares, Bobtails, Tricks) and Neutrals (All breeds).


Earthborn Kitsusagi are the most common breed, the first of the Naturals, typically having long upright ears, and short to mid-fluffy fur. They are clever and resourceful, having spread out into many different areas in the Realms. They are also the most adaptive Kitsu, able to live comfortably in just about any sort of environment. Earthborn run the complete gamut from good-natured to dark and evil, depending on personality and sometimes culture. Earthborn can be fascinated by the other breeds, or sometimes jealous and bigoted. It all depends on the individual Kitsu.​







Tundra Kitsusagi were discovered through their use of an ancient magical gate connecting their frost covered home to the Guardian Grove. Their thick coat is their stand-out feature. Protecting them from the elements and keeping them toasty warm. This also limits them from venturing too far into hot regions.​






Fauna Kitsusagi are the common Natural breed in the Realm of Torran. With their long ears they tend to resemble bunnies more than foxes. Many of them have an affinity for farming or cooking.​



Mer Kitsusagi used to only live below the waves. Over time, they evolved to have a semi-aquatic form as well and now fully dominate their realm.​


Angelic Kitsusagi are characterized by their wings and the halo that floats above their heads at all times. All Angelic Kitsusagi have the ability to fly, and can 'hide' their halo from view at will. Angelics are usually good-hearted and will help any who ask them, though many are also very suspicious of Nightmares, due to the opposite nature of their breeds.​







Kirin Kitsusagi have a wide variety in their looks but its hard to miss the prominent singular horn on their forehead. They are proud, vain, and often stern breed. Declaring themselves the protectors of Torran, they drove out any Infernal breeds from "their" Realm.​





Tenku Kitsusagi are often hailed to be close to the gods. Tenku are considered to be wise and sage-like by many other breeds.​




Imperial Kitsusagi are known for their power and tenacity and wisdom; like Kirin and Angelics they are celestial though it matters not to them what they are called. They have come back to the land and will be staying as it is their land and they will not part with it again.​


Nightmare Kitsusagi are typically found in darker areas, or underground, as most have some sensitivity to light. They typically have some type of horns, as well as scarf-like growths on their shoulders. Nightmares tend to be on the darker, more 'evil' side for the most part. They are suspicious of other breeds and much prefer to keep to their own kind, though they can get along fairly well with Earthborns. Most Nightmares outright hate Angelics, due to the opposite nature of their breeds.​





Trick Kitsusagi are known for their sharp wit and beguiling grace. Pity they are so hard to find as they often shapeshift to hide themselves.​

Enlightened Kitsusagi, otherwise known as Anthros, are the highest stage a Kitsusagi can grow to. Rather than walk on four paws, they stand upright and are typically seen as "wise elders", in a way. All Enlightened are granted certain pieces of knowledge about the full history of the Kitsusagi and the Gods that most Kitsu do not know. They are also somewhat seen as messengers of the Gods, though not all Enlightened follow this role.


[For more information on the Enlightened, please see the post in the Guides section of the Group.]​

Guardians are small helpers of the Kitsusagi species that were initially also created by the gods to help the Kitsu. The first Kitsusagi were not born with thumbs, so Guardians were called upon for tasks that needed hands. They also have the natural ability to communicate telepathically with each other, as well as any Kitsusagi. Over time, they have grown to be valuable companions, some more magically-inclined Kitsu even have Guardians as Familiars that are able to help them with spells.​

As mentioned above, the gods are beings that first created the Realms and all the creatures in them. After the war that tore apart the Realms, the gods retreated from their children, fading from memory. Most Kitsusagi alive now do not remember the gods, except as general concepts. They may know there is or should be a god of the stars, for example, but do not know this god's name, specific powers, or any details.

Recently, however, things are stirring in the winds of the Realms, and Clerics speak of a time when the gods may return...

Here, you can see an ancient Kitsu's artistic rendition of what the Realms look like.

Athas, the largest Realm, is where the first Kitsusagi are said to have been created. Thus far, this is the only Realm that has been discovered.

The Kitsusagi Realms, though beautiful, are not always safe. Different Kitsu breeds sometimes fight with one another, as well as individual Kitsu. Parts of the environment are also hostile and dangerous, making it necessary for those who want to travel through the wilds to learn to defend themselves.

Here at Kitsusagi Realms, we have many options to customize your Kitsu and prepare them for combat. We also have a battle system based around d10 dice. To read up on of these things, please see the
Combat and Magic Space in the Group.

Kitsusagi are able to breed freely with one another, without boundaries determined by breed or gender. Though more rare, it is even possible to have up to 3 parents breed together. It is believed that the gods still watch over their children even from afar, and bless them with children, or kits.

Most Kitsusagi will have 2-4 kits at a time. Kits first appear as 'orbs', seen above, that simply show up near the parents a night or two after the gods have blessed the union. There is no biological process to have orbs, though of course Kitsu still enjoy physical affection of all types.

Do you want to obtain a Kitsusagi with certain colors, edits, clothing, etc? You've come to the right place! Custom Kitsu are offered on a fairly regular basis, with different colorists opening up slots that you may enter. Keep an eye out for these slots if you are interested in getting something special~

Here we wanted to showcase some of the work out there that influenced us! Some items have bigger influence than others.
We are proud of the pieces that make us.

Kitsusagi is listed in here as a nod to the fact that we are different from the initial and sister shops of the past and while we are different we still wish to honor them and what we can of their lore and breeds.
