GUMIHO — [Noun] A malevolent, shape-shifting fox spirit in Korean folklore, often depicted as a beautiful woman who seduces men to consume their livers. Borrowed from Korean 구미호 (gumiho, “nine-tailed fox”), from Sino-Korean 九尾狐: gu ("nine"), mi ("tail"), and ho ("fox"). Unlike "kitsune" (which flits between trickster and guardian) or "huli jing" (which may grant wisdom as easily as ruin), the gumiho is a creature of singular hunger. She is the glint of moonlight on too-perfect teeth, the rustle of silk hiding matted fur, the laughter that lingers just long enough for you to notice the blood on her lips—a reminder that some beauties exist only to devour.
