Cinderfox

A vulpine race of sentient cratures native to Shard 99. Cinderfoxes are unique in that they can cross dimensions without requiring technology. This is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation to survive being hunted to extinction by their planetary rivals the humanoid Valtra.

Naming

Cinderfoxes aren't given formal names when they are born. Instead, they choose their own (self) name once they become an adult. Family and friends give them various nicknames when they are young, and many Cinderfoxes choose a formal name from amongst these, adopting their favorite or combining several. A fox creating an altogether novel name is a sign of sophistication and elegance. Though in some dens this is considered snobbish.
