Editing Tanuki (section)

==Pathfinder==
In [[Pathfinder]], the tanuki hasn't made the leap to player race like its [[kitsune]] rival has, but it has appeared in the 3rd Pathfinder Bestiary as a monster. It's described as a mischievous trickster who likes socializing and has special powers to manipulate objects, via its Major Creation spell-like ability.

In a subtle reference to its infamous ball-bashing abilities in the myths, the PF Tanuki has a slam attack which it can mysteriously use whilst its hands are otherwise full. Now, the artwork obviously suggests that this is actually a kind of tail-slap attack, ala Mario with his Tanuki Leaf & Suit upgrades, but everyone knows what's ''really'' being invoked.
