As a rule, this creature turns into a beautiful girl, but sometimes it chooses for itself the image of an attractive young man. It was believed that the nine-tailed fox is able to induce realistic illusions and dreams on people, penetrate their consciousness and cause madness, and it is also capable of causing "fox" fire and suddenly disappearing right into the air.

This creature caused fear and respect in people. He was endowed with the following qualities: cunning, dexterity, resourcefulness, seduction, sharp mind, prosperity and financial well-being.

For this reason, this image is often interpreted as the personification of a sharp mind, wisdom, observation, ingenuity and intuition.
