Braixen is based on a Fennec fox. It uses a stick like a wand in some of its attacks, and its tail has the appearance of a broom when the stick is placed on it, alluding to traits commonly associated with Witches.
That should definitely suffice for now for its origin. Frushil! (talk) 19:09, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
