In Dungeons & Dragons, a baby kitsune is a young, fox-like creature with latent magical abilities. Kitsune originate from Japanese folklore and are often portrayed in D&D as fey or shapechanging beings with trickster tendencies. A baby kitsune, sometimes called a kit, is typically born with a single tail and gradually develops more as it matures and gains magical power.  

In settings where kitsune exist, a baby kitsune might be an NPC, a familiar, or even a playable race. Their abilities often revolve around illusion, enchantment, and mischief. A young kitsune’s magic is weak but instinctive, manifesting as minor illusions, innate charm, or an uncanny knack for escaping danger. They can naturally shift between a fox form and a humanoid shape, though a baby kitsune might struggle to control this transformation.  

Depending on the campaign, baby kitsune could be raised by their own kind in hidden enclaves or found abandoned and taken in by adventurers. Their fey or celestial origins might make them sought after by scholars, warlocks, or druids, while darker entities might seek to exploit their power. A baby kitsune companion could add narrative depth, with a mischievous nature causing unintended chaos while providing moments of heartwarming connection.  

In terms of mechanics, a baby kitsune could be statted as a young fey creature with low hit points, minor spellcasting, and an evolving nature that allows it to gain new abilities over time. If used as a familiar, it might grant its master advantage on deception checks or a limited use of minor illusion. As a player character, a kitsune race might have traits like innate shapeshifting, increased charisma, and resistance to charm effects.  

Ultimately, a baby kitsune in D&D is a creature of mystery, magic, and mischief, making it a compelling addition to any game.
