Brushtail Boiz

Brushtail Boiz, also known by a variety of other names such as Paintbrush Boiz, Painttail Boiz, Painter's Tail Boiz, and Brushfox Boiz, are a rare, Farangian species of boi. They are distantly related to the Jamaasian Foxy Boiz and Fox Hat Boiz, and are theorized to be somehow related to Pigment Boiz as well.
==Appearance==
Brushtail Boiz have unusually fluffy fur that can come in a variety of colors; white, black, dark gray, pale pink, creamy yellow, pastel orange, bright yellow, and even rarely pastel green have all been sighted. Their undercoats are usually white, but can rarely come in any vibrant color. They also have a splatter pattern on their fur, the color of which depends on the color of their paint. 
Their most noteworthy and visually striking feature is their massive, bushy tails, reminiscent of that of a Folf Boi. These tails secrete paint at their tips, the color of which depends on their main fur color (green for white fur, blue for black or dark gray fur, pastel pink for pale pink, red for cream, violet for pastel orange, magenta for bright yellow, orange for pastel green), and they usually wear bands around the base of them as a common fashion choice. This, coincidentally, makes their tails look identical to a Painter's Tail and its recolors, hence their alternate name Painter's Tail Boiz. 
Aside from that, Brushtail Boiz will usually wear a Head Flower and Lei, the color of which depends on the individual, but usually matches either their fur or paint color. That being said, some Brushtail Boiz will swap out the Head Flower for a Rare Fox Hat or Fluffy Fox Head (and recolors thereof), and may also wear pieces from the Painter's Set and their recolors. 
==Behavior==
As one would probably expect from a boi species that can literally secrete paint, Brushtail Boiz really like art.
Brushtail Boiz are insatiably artistic and creative; unlike most other species of boi, inspiration comes to a Brushtail Boi easily, and they're constantly thinking of elaborate ideas for new works of art. Artist's block and writer's block are incredibly rare in Brushtail Boiz, and are usually a symptom of depression in them. In fact, Brushtail Boiz spend nearly all of their time not spent eating, drinking, or sleeping is spent making art, and if they spend too much time without drawing, they become antsy and will start having trouble focusing on anything other then the next chance they'll get to draw. They also have a natural eye for the beauty of the world; in fact, Brushtail Boiz rarely, if ever, consider anything truly ugly, as they believe everything in this world, whether it be a beautiful meadow of flowers or a filthy public bathroom, is beautiful and can be made a wonderful work of art.
Contrary to popular belief, Brushtail Boiz don't exclusively unleash their creative urges through painting; while most Brushtail Boiz at least dabble in painting, as painting is incredibly convenient when your tail is the perfect paintbrush, Brushtail Boiz love all forms of art. Alongside the "traditional" Brushtail Boi painters, there have also been Brushtail Boi digital artists, animators, writers, sculptors, pottery makers... you name it! As long as its some kind of creative endeavor, Brushtail Boiz are sure to be interested in it. In addition, while Brushtail Boi art is often stereotyped as only designed with the purpose of being beautiful and having little actual thought into it, this is completely untrue, and Brushtail Boiz draw in a variety of artstyles, ranging from complex paintings to simplistic minimalist pieces, will all sorts of meanings poured into them. In fact, art is the main way Brushtail Boiz convey their feelings, and in the wild, Brushtail Boiz often communicate and send messages via painting and sculpting.
Perhaps most unusually, for whatever bizarre reason, Brushtail Boiz are prone to peppering their sentences with French like a stereotypical fancy artist in a movie, despite French not even being a native language in Farangia. It's unknown why they do this, although some theorize they picked it up from Jamaasian movies that ended up in Farangia.
==Habitat==
Brushtail Boiz are primarily found in Gearturn Forest and Noottopia, being more common in the forested areas of Noottopia but occasionally being found in the city itself or the Marble Mountain National Park. They can also be found in Hexagonal Spires, although they're rarer there, as the paint their tails trail behind them makes them easy for predators to track down in the snowy, mostly white expanse that is Hexagonal Spires.
==Diet==
While it was once believed Brushtail Boiz could eat paint and art supplies, this was eventually proven false. In reality, Brushtail Boiz possess a considerably more normal then anticipated diet of beans, woodland animals such as deer and rabbits, small birds, berries, and eggs. That being said, they are surprisingly fond of cheese, likely a holdover from their Foxy Boi relatives.
==Trivia==
*A group of Brushtail Boiz is known as a Palette.
*Their scientific name is "Pictoris Fox", or "Painter's Fox" in Latin.
*Approximately about 55% of artwork created in Farangia is made by Brushtail Boiz or Brushtail Boi hybrids, although its worth noting these statistics are in part do to Brushtail Boiz being very prolific artists.
*It is believed that Paintball Fox Boiz, a fictional species of Spinny Boi in the manga Alabaster Zeniths Saga, were inspired by Brushtail Boiz and Pigment Boiz.
*From a meta perspective, Brushtail Boiz take loose inspiration from the Pokémon Smeargle and Grafaiai, although they're far from identical.
