I decided to revamp the designs for my vulpix variations I made a year and a half ago. I’ve mainly fleshed them out to be used in a story among some of my ask blogs. More or less, Reds are based off of Kyubey and Arctics based off of Inari’s foxes. For the colors I’ve drawn inspiration from the RBY sprite colors for the Red variant and I started to draw inspiration from the gods in Okami for the Arctic variant. I was given suggestions that the colors clashed a bit too much so I’ve dulled the reds so they weren’t so intense.

Modern

  • Ninetales live up to 1000 years of age
  • They focus on a mix of special and status attacks
  • Can understand human speech
  • Vengeful if wronged
  • Evolves right after exposure to fire stones
  • Found in many areas; mountains, abandoned buildings, near cities, ect.
  • Domesticated and distributed globally in favor for a more easily tamable pokemon for captivity
  • Curses/wishes are double edged swords and can go in any direction, one payment from the ninetales, the other payment from nature.
  • Either live solitary or in packs/tribes
  • Illusionists with little age
  • Very smart

Red

  • Ninetales live up to 1200 years of age
  • They focus on a mix of physical and status attacks
  • Can understand human speech
  • Destructive and Deceitful if not prepared mentally for evolution, something other ninetales would usually help them do
  • Evolves gradually over a two week period after exposure to fire stones
  • Found at the base of mountains
  • Critically Endangered, driven to near extinction from the introduction of today’s Modern species and culled from captivity due to destructive and hard to tame nature.
  • Curses and wishes backfire to entertain or benefit the ninetales and are very chaotic in nature. They tend to gravitate towards inner-most fears and phobias
  • They live in solitary with some coalitions of brothers or a mother and her kits
  • Illusionists as they become older
  • Very cunning

Arctic

  • Ninetales live up to 800 years of age
  • They focus on a mix of Defensive and Status attacks
  • Cannot understand human speech. They use colorful dancing flames to communicate.
  • Skittish and reserved. They tend to avoid conflict
  • Evolve right after exposure to fire stones though its very rare since the stones are scarce in the tundra
  • Found in the Tundra and snowy areas
  • Endangered; generally secluded from human interaction but population has dwindled due to habitat loss
  • Grant wishes that negatively afflicts themselves and take something of equal importance away from the wisher
  • They live in large tribes consisting of mostly vulpix with two or three ninetales as their leaders
  • Illusionists as older vulpix or young ninetales. Often use their illusions to camouflage 
  • Very Wise

Really cute! A lot of people I've seen have come up with the idea of an arctic fox inspired Vulpix before Alolan Vulpix existed.
