The only role the kumiho—the nine-tailed fox—plays in Korea is the demoness. Whether she appears as maiden, wife, or succubus, the kumiho's sole goals are power and death. She is the only kind of fox that kills with her own hands, and also the only kind of fox that eats her prey. Articles Fenkl, Heinz Insu, "Fox Wives and Other Dangerous Women".
