Leaftail

Welcome to Eldergrove, Researcher. You were sent by the Academy to research and document the magical creatures in and around Eldergrove: #070 - LEAFTAIL Type: Nature / Spirit Habitat: The Entire Eldergrove (Nomadic / Seasonal) Size: 4.5–5.5 feet (Excluding tail) Rarity: LEGENDARY APPEARANCE: Leaftail is the most visually grounded of the legendary foxes, its colors reflecting the earth itself. The glowing orange runes on its black fur pulsate with a slow, steady rhythm, like dying embers. Its fur has the distinct, pleasant scent of dried leaves and crisp air. BEHAVIOR: In stark contrast to Goldentail's boundless energy, Leaftail is a creature of profound stillness. It is often found lying in fields or on forest paths for hours, simply watching the clouds or the falling leaves. Its movements are slow and deliberate. ABILITY: Autumn’s Hush. Leaftail’s presence brings an immediate, soothing calm. The air cools to a crisp, comfortable temperature, and the leaves on surrounding trees instantly change from green to vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, beginning their gentle descent to the ground. HABITAT & DIET: Like its counterparts, it is a nomadic spirit, wandering the Eldergrove to ensure the transition to autumn is complete. It is sustained by the grove's ancient magic. LORE: Leaftail is the fourth of the ancient seasonal spirits, as old as the grove itself. It is the bringer of rest after the summer's fiery growth, preparing the world for Frostail's inevitable return. The Warden views it as the spirit of reflection and gratitude. Temperament: Calm, Contemplative, Peaceful Activity: Diurnal / Sunset
