Subspecies Kitsusagi
(common/uncommon)
--Note: The 'corgi' species is no longer available--
Subspecies Kitsusagi are generally similar to normal Kitsusagi in attitude. They seem to have evolved away from the basic "look" of a Kitsusagi, however, owing to changes in environment or perhaps other factors. There are some who say the Subspecies should be classified as their own separate species, but for the most part it is believed that they are fundamentally similar to normals - though they can look vastly different.
Celestial Kitsusagi
(uncommon)
In the beginning, the Celestials were a single, resplendent species. Their planet prospered under the vigilantly pursued ideals of peace and harmony. Not a warlike species at all, they remained untainted and unknown for millennia. Then, a terrible disease struck and parted the species, creating rifts of distrust and deceit among their ranks. It wasn’t long before the utopia collapsed and the survivors saw what their home had become. It was a barren, diseased land that was quickly being overrun by an unnamed terror that came in the wake of the epidemic. The cause of the disease become painfully obvious – this shadowy terror had decimated their people for its own gains.
Thus, in a gamble, the elders and adults of the Celestials used the last of their remaining strength to bundle and send forth their young ones. Flarei and Eclipsei alike were reverted into egg form and sent into the space to travel the cosmos and hopefully come to rest on a world that would both accept and nurture them. And so, for years upon years, these eggs coursed through the skies… some successfully finding worlds and others lost to the dangers of space. Eventually, however, some found their way to the Realm of the Kitsusagi where they’ve been afforded an opportunity to live and prosper again.
Not a single egg knows of its origin, not a single Celestial remembers the elders that sacrificed themselves in order to give them a chance. It is truly a fresh start for the Celestials, as they now roam the Kitsu Realms with a hesitant curiosity.
Nightmare Kitsusagi
(Higher Race - rare)
Known in all writing as the cursed and demonic beings of lore, due to erroneous ways in their past, the nightmares have forever been cursed to horrors and unrest due to their predecessors actions. They are normally said to be a more moody and brooding kind of Kitsusagi, keeping to themselves and pushing away the other races due to their blood bound hatred for those unlike them. Although, it should be noted that not all Nightmare Kitsusagi are uneasy by nature - as there are physical evidence of calm and even approachable individuals.
Easily recognized by their short and wild pelts, the skin on their maws and paws have receded over the ages to produce long and sharp weapon like appendages, their maws skinless and bone thick, a long snake like tongue entrapped within. Due to their curse, their eyes have been sewn shut - closing them off from the seeing world forever. Most pure Nightmares are unable to see, even if they do not have stitches for one reason or another. Due to their physical curse, Nightmare Kitsusagi cannot see at all, and their senses of smell and hearing are detrimental. They rely highly on their senses of taste and feel. Their scarf-like appendage plays a major role in this, giving them almost a "sixth sense" way of perceiving the world around them.
Angelic Kitsusagi
(Higher Race - rare)
Angelic Kitsusagi are considered the saviors of the ages, floating on large, full plumed wings that are apparently unattached visibly from the main body. Usually spiritual and kindhearted, they are easily approached by other races, and will never hesitate to offer wise knowledge to their kin - although there are physical evidence of those who have personalities that clash with this written documentation on them.
Slightly larger than a normal Kitsusagi, their fur is visibly longer and vibrant, and their faces show an oddly calming array of moods. But of all the physical things that separate them from the others, it's the halo that dances over their heads - always blindly following it's owner, a true symbol of spirituality and hope.
Fae Kitsusagi
(Super Rare)
The Fae are an exceptionally reclusive breed. In tune with nature and all its many forms, they very rarely venture beyond their isolated retreats. Organized into the four courts, the Fae pay homage to the four seasons with each court coming into strength with its associated season. Generally, the seasons will influence the coloration of the particular Fae but that is not a rule. They do not age and enjoy the bounty of eternal youth. Few ever seem to see the need to grow beyond the glow of young adulthood.
People first noticed them because of their small size and winged ears, thinking at first that these new Kitsusagi were a mutation of the subspecies. They also display twig-like wings that grow from their shoulders and despite the seeming inability to fly, they float along quite well. It came to light, quite quickly however, that the Fae were a race unto their own and are rumored to possess an alluring charm and luck, much like fairies. By this rumor, some humans have become greedy and try to capture Fae Kitsusagi to make a fortune of their own.
Seraph Kitsusagi
(Super Rare)
The Seraphs are a rare and elusive breed, aloof, good, and well meaning. They are a sprightly species, often dancing on high and enjoying the musics of the winds. A higher race than the Angelics, they are often looked up to by all the races of Kitsusagi - save, of course, for the Nightmares and the tainted.
They are easy to identify by their six wings and the crystal or gem pendant they are almost never without. Like the Angelics, the Seraphim possess a halo as well. Sleek in shape, they may not be particularly strong but the Seraphs are very much the kind of Kitsusagi one might want to befriend. Count your lucky stars if you ever manage to call one friend!
Wyrm Kitsusagi
(Ultra Rare)
--Note: This species is no longer available--
Wyrms, also called Western Dragons, are a surprisingly rare type of Kitsusagi. Their bodies are a blend of fur and scales and when humans first arrived in the Realm, they believed them to be the dragons of some lore. However, unlike lore, Wyrms are a surprisingly friendly species -- some are able to breathe a natural 'essence' -- like fire, ice, or similar -- in a gaseous form, and they are capable of flight. Recently noted as related, albeit distantly, to Imperials, Wyrms are considered a unique species due to their differences -- and their tendency to lay eggs in stone nests.
