The Most Important Tails Poll.... EVER!

[colwag]

The chips are on the table, for one of the largest Tails debates around.

Is he a normal fox with a benificial mutation?

Or is he a member of the legendary kitsune of Japenese folklore?

LAY YOUR OPINONS DOWN!

[Tailsfan]

I think Tails is more along the line of being a mutant.

[wandering jinchuuriki]

I'd say he's a mutant kitsune, because well he's a kitsune with two Tails

Uh.... part of being a kitsune, or at least the legendary type I'm referring to, IS the multiple-Tails aspect.

[Tails X-Treme]

I think he is a Kitsune, for some reason.

[colwag]

I dislike the thought of him being a kitsune mainly due to....

Kitsune = Species, multiple

Mutant = Only one (or very few)

Tails is much more special in a world without Kitsunes.

Besides, aren't kitsunes supposed to be tricky and mischevious? That doesn't describe Tails to me.

Kitsunes just provide a method for people to make lousely fan characters.... not that'll stop Tails from having 3000 brothers and sisters, and 500 cousins....

I know I'm stupud, but.....


What's a kitsune?

[Ingolme]

A kitsune is a japanese mythological fox whose Tails multiply as it grows until it reaches nine. Once it has nine Tails it becomes white or golden.
I don't believe that Tails is a kitsune because he was born with two Tails, while kitsines start with only one. and Tails won't ever have more than two Tails.

[Marik]

Tails was born with 2 Tails, birth defect. Not really a mutant.

I see.
He was probably inspired by that myth, and he doesn't seem mutant either.

[fuzzymoochicken]

Could've sworn I read somewhere his design was inspired by kitsunes...

[vigilanteagumon]

In the comic book, Tails' parents are single-tailed foxes, which means Tails is a mutation.

[E-109 Omega]

I've always thought of Tails as a kitsune.

[DigiTails]

Well...Tails isn't really that much of a mutant...since I don't think that he was infected by radiation or something before birth...and again...he isn't a kitsune because kitsunes, like it was said before, gain a tail and then change colors...since he was born with two he can't be that either...it's more of a beneficial birth defect thinger, maybe that would define him as a mutant...

[foxfire122]

i think mutation would be the best choice. kinda like a birth defect or something.

[tailsoflinx]

Mysterious third option
1. Although he has 2 Tails , unless his going to grow a few more I feel option one is out of the picture
2.As for mutant , well , maybe he could be since it is like a human having three or four arms instead of the usual two
3. He could have been part of joint twins and the one had to be removed so Tails could survive
and the other tail remained behind
However inorder for Tails 2 Tails to rotate like a helicopter they would have to be doublejointed and unlinked inorder for them not to get tangled which adds complexity to the use of his unique ability
Give 2 Tails to a kitsune and watch how the Tails tangle as they rotate , unless his Tails rotate through alternating half rotations
And so on , yay

I don't really like to use the term "mutant", it sounds degrading.
