Characteristics

Fencing foxes are vulpine swordsmen dressed in the manner of an aristocrat. They wear a green and orange striped doublet with a ruff and a long orange cape around their necks, dark blue rounded hose, fuchsia boots and gloves, and a fuchsia cavalier with a long plume on their heads. They wield silver rapiers in their right hands. Along with their fencing, the foxes can cast some magic in battle, as well.
