Kitsune
A Kitsune's powers are related to their type and will grow with age and wisdom. They can absorb the power of repeated lightning strikes without any adverse physical effects. Up to nine tails. Rubbing nine tails together creates foxfire (lightning). Knives are the Earthly Representation of a Kitsune's Tails. Snapping a knife will also cause foxfire, but costs power.
Kitsune are known as tricksters. These shape-shifters are surrounded by an aura (a flaming fox outline) which is visible only to supernatural creatures with enhanced vision. -- and flash photography

Nogitsune
Also known as "dark" or "void" Kitsune, this fox spirit is a malevolent trickster. Historically, foxes and wolves do not play together nicely. Nogitsune is distinguished from other Kitsune by their sharp chrome teeth.
However, these skilled tricksters can disguise this feature from human eyes (and those of most supernatural creatures too).
Once a Nogitsune finds a human host to possess, it gains power by causing and feeding upon pain, tragedy, strife, and chaos.
