Huli jing

• A huli jing may attempt seduction to steal human essence, curse those they seek vengeance against, reward worshippers with wealth, or provide sage guidance.

• Stealing another's life force can also be accomplished while remaining in fox form, as huli jing are known to take their victim's breath as they sleep.

• They can help to find lost items, and provide gifts such as wealth, prosperity, and immortality. Some huli jing strive for self-improvement through seclusion and meditation in an effort to ascend to divinity.

• The most superior foxes practice self-cultivation by absorbing essence from nature in order to refine their spirit. Through meditation and purification, foxes with these natural powers seek to attain immortality and divinity.

• Foxes who lack this skill instead cultivate their physical appearance in order to bewitch, delude, and possess people. By assimilating humans' life essence, foxes enrich their own spirit.  

• Other supernatural powers include creating illusions or glamours, human speech, the ability to disappear and reappear, becoming mist-like, communicating with Heaven, and immortality.

• The huli jing often presents as a beautiful young woman set on seduction, but it can also take the form of a charming young man. 

• The fox characteristics of the huli jing sometimes slip through despite the transformation, with a tail or ears emerging from its human form. 

• The huli jing is believed to be a creature of yin that consumes masculine yang energy. 

• Stealing another's life force can also be accomplished while remaining in fox form, as huli jing are known to take their victim's breath as they sleep.
