Against the Storm Wiki

Majestic and mysterious creatures deeply bonded with the forest. They evolved a symbiosis with Blightrot through long exposure to Rainwater, which caused some visible side effects. Foxes are skilled scouts and feel comfortable working in buildings infested with Blightrot. They are highly susceptible to starvation, yet are immune to Hostility.

Starting Ability: Reveals the location of 1 of the nearest geysers.

Fox firekeepers have an unusual ability to calm the forest. Hostility from opened glades is lowered by 6 each.
