Overview
The Fox is a small, cunning predator found in Crimson Desert. Known for its high adaptability, the fox thrives across a wide variety of environments in the southern regions of Pywel. In the game's Bestiary, foxes are categorized under Predators alongside wolves and bears, though they are significantly less dangerous than their larger counterparts.
Location and Habitat
Foxes are found primarily in the southern regions of Pywel. They are widespread and adaptable, making their homes in forests, grasslands, and even near the outskirts of settlements.
