Biology

When Vulpix is born, it has one white tail that sprouts into 6 curled ones at the tip as it gets older. If not properly groomed, its tails will tangle up, and before it evolves, its tails glow hotter than usual. It can freely control fire, creating will-o-wisps that are commonly mistaken for ghosts. If raised young, it will follow its trainer like a puppy.
