Wikipedia article

This article is about an older version of DF.
A small carnivorous animal found in temperate climates. It has orange fur and is known for its cleverness.

Foxes are small carnivores frequently found roaming through temperate forests. They are solitary and only appear one at a time. While carnivorous, they're also benign and will generally avoid confrontation, being fairly non-threatening due to being only slightly larger than a cat. A woodsdwarf or miner armed with a battle axe or pick can easily dispatch a fox, but non-military dwarves will probably cancel their jobs and run away instead. Newborn foxes are called pups.

Wild foxes can be trained by an animal trainer and kept as low-value pets, though they cannot be further trained into war or hunting beasts. Foxes can be butchered for a bit of meat, but there are often better creatures to raise for a meat industry. While fox fur has notable value in real life, fox hides in Dwarf Fortress have the same default value as most other animal hides.

Some dwarves like foxes for their cunning.

Admired for its cunning.
