Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune

The Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a nine-tailed fox. It was eaten by Catarina Devon.
==Etymology==
* is Japanese for "dog".
*The is a mythical, magical fox entity originating from Chinese mythology, which is a common motif in various East Asian mythologies such as Japanese folklore.
*In the Viz Manga, the fruit is called Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Type, Model "Nine-Tailed Fox".
==Strengths and Weaknesses==
The main strength of this fruit is that it transforms the user into a mythological kitsune, complete with nine large fox tails. As such, they gain all the abilities of one, including the ability to disguise themselves as anyone they like, allowing them to impersonate them. The clothing of the target individual can also be imitated during the transformation.
The fruit has no known weaknesses aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
==Usage==
Devon was seen using this ability to briefly impersonate the deceased Absalom and trick his comrade Gecko Moria. It is unknown if there are requirements to transform into a subject, in the same vein as the Mane Mane no Mi's ability requiring the user to touch a person's face in order to transform into them, though Devon notably expresses gratitude for being able to touch Jaygarcia Saturn's leg while in her Human Form.
==Trivia==
*This Devil Fruit is based on the , a mythical fox spirit in Eastern Asian mythology and folklores, where the origin of the word "kitsune" is derived from a tale of a fox transforming into a woman every night.
**According to the One Piece Green: Secret Pieces databook, the Blackbeard Pirates were originally supposed to have a fox-woman crewmate named until she was replaced with Catarina Devon; Devon consuming a Devil Fruit that lets her transform into a Kitsune may have manifested from this unused concept.
*This Devil Fruit's ability is similar to those of the Mane Mane no Mi and the Mira Mira no Mi, as they all allow the user to impersonate other people. Unlike the former, however, this Devil Fruit's power allows the user to even transform their clothes, and unlike the latter, the transformation is not a mirror image.
*In the anime, when Devon is transformed from her appearance as Absalom, she is mistakenly depicted with ten tails instead of nine.
