Fox Devil

The Fox Devil (の) is a devil that embodies the fear of foxes. She is a minor supporting character in the Public Safety Saga.

Appearance
The Fox Devil's full appearance is unknown but its head resembles a giant fox's head with multiple giant eyes covering it, each fill with concentric circles. The Fox Devil's arm is likewise monstrously large with oversized claws and is covered in multiple eyes. In the manga it has orange or light brown looking fur and in the anime, it is colored white and in both its eyes are red-orange and glow.

Personality
The Fox Devil has no conflicted feelings over killing and eating other devils; eagerly asking permission from Aki Hayakawa to swallow the Leech Devil's head.

The Fox Devil is friendly with humans, allowing numerous Devil Hunters to make contracts with herself. However it only grants attractive people the ability to summon her head, showing a rather superficial side.

The Fox Devil seemingly hates the taste of hybrids such as Katana Man and Reze; complaining that the former is monstrous and deciding to leave after tasting the latter. This showcases that she does not have a sense of loyalty or responsibility towards her contractors, being more then willing to abandon them or breaking the contract if the situation appears to be unfavorable or undesirable.

History
At some point the Fox Devil became a resident of Kyoto and made contracts with Aki Hayakawa, Hirokazu Arai and several other Devil Hunters.

Bat Devil arc
After the Leech Devil defeats Denji and is on the verge of eating him, Aki Hayakawa puts his hand in the shape of a fox's head and summons the Fox Devil to decapitate the Leech Devil. The Fox Devil is given permission to eat and swallow the Leech Devil which he does before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Later in the hospital Aki explains the nature of his contract with the Fox Devil to Denji; explaining that in exchange for feeding it parts of his body he is able to borrow the Fox Devil's power.

Eternity Devil arc
After being trapped in a looped section of space by the Eternity Devil, Aki tried summoning the Fox Devil's head to break out of it but since the Fox's body is in Kyoto he could not bring it out in the sealed off space.

Hirokazu Arai revealed to the group that he had a contract with the Fox Devil, while at a newbie welcoming party held by the Special Division after the Eternity Devil's defeat. When a confused Denji asks how he and Aki are both contracted to it, Aki explains that since the Fox Devil is on good terms with humans, many devil hunters have contracted it, though Himeno notes only attractive ones can summon her head.

Katana Man arc
After the Katana Man ambushes Aki Hayakawa, Himeno, Denji and Power, Aki summons the Fox Devil's head to swallow him whole. However the Fox Devil complains that Aki made it swallow something monstrous that isn't human or devil and the Katana Man cuts himself out of the Fox Devil's head in a fountain of gore.

Later Aki tries summoning the Fox Devil in the hospital but the Fox Devil refuses to appear. Kurose states that since Aki used the Fox Devil's power recklessly he got on its bad side and it probably won't let him use it again.

Bomb Girl arc
During Reze's assault on the Second Division headquarters, Nomo attempted to use the Fox Devil's arm twice against her but she evaded each of his attacks. As she went to kill him the Vice Captain of the Second Division used the Fox Devil's head to swallow her whole but the Fox Devil immediately complained about the flavor and vanished, leaving Reze behind.

International Assassins arc
Nakamura uses the front paw of the Fox Devil to crush several dolls controlled by Santa Claus.

Abilities
As a Devil, the Fox Devil possesses all of the standard devil abilities, such the ability to make contracts with humans for a price; in the current story, the Fox Devil had a contract with Aki Hayakawa, Nomo, Nakamura, Hirokazu Arai and several other Devil Hunters. Despite apparently being on good terms with humanity and lending out several contracts, the Fox Devil still appears massive and powerful.

The Fox Devil can teleport from Kyoto to the location of devil hunters that it has formed a contract with; allowing them to summon pieces of its body that perform an attack by saying "Kon!" (コン) and making a special hand sign. Afterwards it disappears into a puff of smoke. While this attack is effective against devils, it is not effective against hybrids, who can easily dodge the paws, while also being durable enough to withstand a bite. The Fox Devil also detests their taste and will leave quickly after eating one.

Physical Prowess

 * Enhanced Strength: The Fox Devil is very strong, her paws are strong enough to easily defeat multiple of Santa's dolls. Her jaw strength is also very impressive, allowing her to cut through concrete and devils with just one bite.
 * Enhanced Durability: After being summoned inside a building, The Fox Devil ended up destroying it instead of being crushed by it all while taking no damage in the process.

Devil Powers

 * Blood Consumption: As a devil, the Fox Devil is able to restore its health by consuming blood. Her regenerative abilities are quite powerful, allowing her to completely heal even after having her head slashed through by Katana Man.

Trivia

 * The word that Aki says to summon the Fox Devil Kon (コン), is an onomatopoeic word referencing the sound a fox makes, similar to "Nyan" (ニャン) for a cat or "Wan" (ワン) for a dog.
