Renard

Also known as Reynards, Hexenfoxes, Wearfoxes, and host of more regional names, the Renard is type of Therianthrope found throughout much of the Western World and a counterpart to the Huli-Jing, Kitsune, Gumiho, and Inari Zenko. Shapeshifters that rely on magical pelts to change their forms, the are part of the Wearbeast or Hexenbeast subtype, making them kin to creatures such as the Selkie, Tybalt, Isengrim, Kyward, Baldwin, Grimbald, Bellin, and Noblion.
Beings who straddle the line between Man and Monster, they were often seen as cursed souls consumed by the seductive allure of Monstrous power... or as valiant souls who could tame their wickedness to become something more. There are many tales of Renard knights being trickster heroes, making them one of the few Monsters who were sometimes viewed positively even before the current Overlord's reign. Like many Hexenbeasts, they are thought to have originated with the Overlord Circe from Men who chose to voluntarily serve her rather than be subjected to her conquest and to have held positions of authority in her government.
