A subtrope of BeastMan, a Fox Man is a character with foxlike traits. Typical features are pointy ears, nose, fur, and the all-important bushy tail. Most vulpinoid characters tend to be based off on red foxes--other species are far rarer.
Their personality tends to be sly, intelligent and {{cunning|LikeAFox}}, and if you see them you can bet that they are some sort of trickster or con artist. Despite this, however, they are depicted in both positive and negative light, where they can be annoying but ultimately harmless, [[GreyAndGrayMorality morally grey]] characters with HiddenDepths, or simply a villain.

* Joseph Lallo's ''The Book of Deacon'' series has malthropes[[note]]mixed Latin and Greek for "bad person/human"[[/note]] who look like fox-people and are hunted down as vermin by the humanoid races. Practically to extinction on the continent where most of the stories take place.
* In ''Literature/TheDarkProfitSaga'' most breeds of Gnoll look like canine halflings[[note]]they were originally a clan of Gnome that was corrupted by the Dark God[[/note]], Fennekin are a Demi-gnoll breed with more fox-like features and large ears.
* ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' has the Renards, a rare race from the Far East who are known for having [[LittleBitBeastly fox-like ears and a tail.]] They're unique among the races as they're integral to the creation of a Killing Stone, which rips a renard's soul out of their body to allow the holder to use whatever magic that renard could. [[spoiler:Ishtar wanted to force Haruhime to create a Killing Stone for her so she could use her magic to overrun the Freya Familia.]]
* ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'': Fox Tails are one of the three Beast Folk races in the {{MMORPG}} Elder Tale, resembling [[LittleBitBeastly humans with fox ears and one or more tails]] (which they can hide with magic). While they have high magical stats, they're [[TierInducedScrappy unpopular with players]] due to [[MechanicallyUnusualClass a bizarre mechanic]] which replaces one of their skills with a random one every few levels (with results that can vary from JokeCharacter to GameBreaker).
** When Elder Tale somehow fuses with a real fantasy world, the trapped players find that the mix of real and videogame physics allows them to [[EmergentGameplay use their characters' abilities in previously impossible ways]], nicknamed "Overskills". One Fox Tail player, Nureha, invents an Overskill which takes the race's {{Kitsune}} themes UpToEleven - [[AbilityMixing combining the racial "hide your ears" illusion with the persuasion abilities of her Courtesan subclass]] in order to create a {{Glamour}} effect that can disguise her as other people.

*The vulpins of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' are a race of foxlike humanoids having a reputation to be formidable warriors and very capable and honorable leaders. Unfortunately some human societies and religions never accepted them and hunted them to their brink of extinction.
* ''TabletopGame/FadingSuns'' has Vulpanthropes, a species created as shock troops by a noble with MadScientist leanings from human and fox DNA. They proved more prolific than expected and have come to plague isolated human settlements on many planets.
*''Tabletopgame/Pathfinder'' has a race called kitsune, although despite the name they lack relation to traditional kitsune in Japanese mythology. In ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons 3.0'', the ''Oriental Adventures'' sourcebook had a hengeyokai race with the Shapechanger type, who could switch between humanoid, animal and [[PartialTransformation hybrid]] forms; 3.5 removed the Shapechanger type, so the official update made them Humanoids (resulting in some GameplayAndStorySegregation, as they were still described like Magical Beasts). ''Pathfinder'' kitsune were based on the 3.5 version of fox hengeyokai, but {{Nerfed}} by removing the animal form (which instead became a "disguise" that higher-level kitsune could learn by spending a feat) and making the hybrid form their true form.

*Tamamo-no-Mae from VideoGame/FateExtra, who is actually a facet of the sun goddess Amaterasu. She's commonly mistaken for a fox, and while she doesn't mind she points out that foxes did not exist in Japan during that era, and that the animal in her legend was more likely a wild jackal that got confused with the fleeing woman.
*The Keatons from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'' are a race of vulpine creatures based off of the Japanese kitsune. They have yellow fur and three tails instead of nine.
*Cardomon from ''VideoGame/PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero'' is one, although she is pretending to be a CatGirl because she heard her master, Sir Sweet, hates foxes. She appears as a boss in the Demon Sea Aria. She tends to be extremely flirty but will attack at a moments notice.
