From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.

Foxdragons (Draco vulpes) are a fictional species of dragon, patterned after a hybrid of foxes and dragons. Depictions vary from source to source in the fandom. While it is not the rule, foxdragons are frequently conceptualized as being warm-blooded, which may vary between being mammalian to based on the hypothetical biology of many dinosaur species. To further accentuate their vulpine connection, many foxdragons are depicted with full coats of fur. They also frequently sport details such as external ears, usually resembling a fox's, and may or may not have scaly skin. Foxdragon terminology combines both vulpine and draconic terms. Male foxdragons are known as dogs, todds, bulls, vixes (plural of vix), or reynard, females are referred to as vixens, and their young are called hatchlings or whelps, as well as pups. A group of foxdragons is a pride.

[edit] Isle of Wyrms Foxdragons

Found only on Second Life, the most notable of Isle of Wyrms foxdragons is the Guardian Redtail Oddfellow. He is the typical form for a foxdragon, a standard dragon form with black paws and bronze scaling with an eggshell belly. Ears resemble typical vulpine ears and are often a black colour. Two others are Fuechsin Kohime, a wyrmling who also shows the more typical red fox pattern and colors, and Llewelyn Mistral, an adult dragon who is usually blue and silver in a more standard dragon-like distribution. In total, there are 8 known foxdragons on the Isle of Wyrms on Second Life.

[edit] Dragontears Foxdragons

In the now-closed roleplaying game/comic project called Dragontears, foxdragons (created by Rebecca Ehrick) don't hold much of a resemblence to traditional dragons at all. Instead they have fur, long, lithe legs, and a catlike face, but their wings are covered with dark, thin, leathery fur, as are their lower legs and the underside of the tail. Foxdragons are the least dragonlike of the dragon family, but they insist that they are indeed dragons and anyone who says otherwise will get an earful. The smallest are the Grasslands clan, who also look the most catlike. The Forest clan look a bit more dragonlike, albeit still furry, and are more muted in color and larger. The largest--about as big as a large dog--are the Mountain clan, who look like almost as catlike as the Grasslands clan, only in gray.

[edit] Other subspecies

There are numerous other instances found in many MUCKs and also the work of Sylus Foxdragon.
