I've done a lot of research on the topic and unless we get the waifu-bait people on board we're going to have to kill the fox idea. Preferably the race should have some sexual dimorphism that's basically impossible to explain like the au ra. We're thinking something like the males are fifteen feet tall and have a mouth that looks like a garbage disposal and an overall appearance that says 'I eat metal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I still suffer from an iron deficiency'. The females on the other hand will be four and a half inches tall and only able to speak in the garbled babbling of a 9 year old.
