Frost Foxes

Frost Foxes are supernatural summonings that can be created by Elves.

## Information

Frost Foxes are magical creatures and helpers that can be summoned by Elves with the help of an magic snow crystal and a rare type of sapphire only found in the very north of Tolores. Once summoned, these foxes, which always take the appearance of red or Arctic ones, will aid and guide their masters for the rest of their lives. It is said that the arctic form is the "perfect" version of a Frost Fox, the result of a perfectly executed ritual,, whereas the red ones are just average. It is still seen as a huge feat to have a Frost Fox, though, no matter the appearance of the Summoning.

Frost Foxes share a deep connection with their summoner and, due to certain differing qualities and their origins, are not Ymmyes. They are still intelligent and can talk, but will usually only do so to their masters unless it is absolutely necessary.

## Biology

Frost Foxes have no place in the biological taxonomy due to them being supernatural and summoned by magic. However, they take the appearance of either red or Arctic foxes.

## Appearance

Frost Foxes will take the appearance of either red or Arctic foxes. They have some differences, though. For example, Frost Foxes are often just a tad smaller. They also process the ability to shift their fur color to one other abnormal one, such as blue or red. They lack reproductive organs, both external and internal. They also lack whiskers and have unique eyes.

## Range

Frost Foxes, due to only being able to be summoned with the right magics and materials which are found in the north, generally only inhabit Tolores. They don't do well in warmer climates.

## Behavior and diet

Frost Foxes are devoted to their master and their master only.

Frost Foxes live with their masters from the point when they are summoned until death. They cannot be too far away from their masters, or they'll simply teleport automatically back to them. Frost Foxes generally act like Elves and not like other foxes, due to them being fully adapted to life as an Elf's summoning.

Due to being supernatural, Frost Foxes do not require to eat anything, nor do they ever feel the inclination to. Even if they happen to ingest some food or water, they don't defecate, so it simply vanishes somewhere into nothing in their bodies.

## Abilities

Frost Foxes cannot be Neutrals, Elementals or Nimek N'e users, but they have their own set of skills; the ability to change their fur to another color, being able to see in the darkest night, being able to find their way in the thickest mists or most furious snowstorm, a bite that will freeze their (and thus their master's) enemies temporarily, the ability to survive no matter how cold it gets, and being able to offer warmth to their masters simply but the Elves touching them. To any beings that are not their masters, Frost Foxes will feel so cold it hurts. They also can use the general fox skills, such as biting, scratching and pouncing.

## Aging

From the moment Frost Foxes are summoned, they will proceed to age similar to their master, and won't die until their master ceased to live. This gives them a vastly longer lifespan than those of "real" foxes.

## Naming conventions

Frost Foxes tend to have Elf-like names, as they are named by their masters, but they can also vary.
