Red Fox portrayed in MERP

Foxes were dog-like carnivores of woodland and farmland, distinctive for their red-orange coats and their eerie plaintive cries. A dog-fox became puzzled at finding Frodo, Sam and Pippin asleep in a fir-wood on the first night of their journey from Hobbiton.[1]

The Quenya word for "fox" is rusco (Sindarin has rusc).[2][3]
