The Nine-Tails (Japanese: 九尾の狐 Kyuubi no Kitune) is an advanced, Hoshido-aligned class which was introduced in Fire Emblem Fates. It is the promoted form of the Kitsune, and is a non-human shapeshifting class which uses beaststones to take the form of a powerful nine-tailed fox in battle.

The Nohrian counterpart of the Nine-Tails class is the Wolfssegner. Enemy Nine-Tails, along with their basic form and their Nohrian counterparts, are among the few playable classes whose generic enemy members are not capturable.
