anyone else wish the Kitsunes hat muzzled faces (or an option for them when you become bound to keros) or am i just a furry degenerate?
They actually do to an extent. The Japanese folk lore about kitsune is roughly that they're basically foxes that over hundreds of years got magical abilities, shapeshifting etc. In some irl art you'll see their shadow being a literal fox still. In game tobs seems to have followed that to an extent because in specific scenes, such as mikos heat where the text describes her getting more beast like, her teeth showing, face becoming more like a predator and "losing control", or like when kiyokos area is attacked, one of your kids is viewed by kinu as having become almost feral, nails becoming much longer, teeth etc to have mauled one of the attackers. They most likely have at least a Garret and gwyn-ish level furry appearance they're capable of showing under extreme pressure or excitement.
