Foxes are a species of wildlife in Horizon Zero Dawn. A different fox, known as the red fox, appears in Horizon Forbidden West.

Foxes, as well as red foxes, seen in the Horizon series appear to be Red foxes, a widespread species found across most of the entire Northern Hemisphere.

History

In the Old World

Fox zygotes were among the animals that were successfully collected before the Faro Plague eradicated the species and stored within ARTEMIS for later use in Project Zero Dawn.

In the New World

Foxes were released alongside other pioneer organisms by GAIA during early terraforming of Earth, becoming commonplace in wooded areas in the Sacred Lands and the eastern Sundom.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds

Enjuk, in his studies into the wildlife of the world, suggested to Aloy that foxes have red fur because of their diet of raw, bloody meat. While looking at a hologram of a wolf from the Old World, he suggested that wolves are the same as the present day foxes, having changed over hundreds of winters, but quickly dismissed this idea as ridiculous.

Behavior

Foxes are docile and quick to flee upon detecting Aloy, never turning aggressive. They tend run in random directions to avoid her, which can make them hard to hit.
