The nine-tailed fox ( Chinese: 九尾狐; pinyin: jiǔwěihú) is a mythical fox entity originating from Chinese mythology that is a common motif in East Asian mythology and the most famous fox spirit in Chinese culture. In Chinese and East Asian folklore, foxes are depicted as spirits possessed of magic powers.

For the ANIMALS workshop, I chose a drawing of the nine-tailed fox, which is a powerful creature in Eastern lore. The drawings of insects relate to the legend of the nine-tailed fox in Chinese culture.  —Amanda Konishi
