This egg is about the size and shape of a kitsune egg, but it seems to have some sort of a haze around it.

Foxes can be found throughout the world, but in Alveus you might find one or two with something odd about them. If you spot a fox that momentarily looks like it has wings, or makes a sound like it's laughing and then vanishes from sight, you've probably spotted one of the region's elusive alucinari. They aren't especially rare, but their tendency to act like regular foxes can make them difficult to spot. In general they prefer to keep out of people's way, but they are mischievous by nature and are often drawn to lone travelling humans. Although their most obvious illusion is that of wings on a fox's back -- a clear indicator that you are dealing with an alucinari and not a regular fox -- their illusory abilities extend far beyond their own bodies. There are tales of these foxes speaking to humans, transforming themselves into hideous monsters or wealthy kings, summoning fires and tempests, and even disguising themselves as young children. In reality, these foxes possess only their own wit and the ability to craft illusions, though both appear to be quite powerful and only grow as the fox ages. Alucinari are also incredibly creative; they regularly use their magic in tandem with mysterious environments where the illusion is difficult to tell from reality. Whether their magic stems from the contaminated lands wrought by the magewars, or allowed these foxes to evade persecution by Alveans, one thing is abundantly clear: on no account should you ever try to harm an alucinari.

Oh man, they're foxes.
Foxes are my favorite animal and Zoroark is my favorite Pokemon, this sounds amazing! Their description brings kitsune to mind which makes me wonder how many tails they will have.
Not sure about the wings though.

Alucinari kits seem deceptively vulnerable, barely the size of a kitten and restricted to their mother's den until they are several weeks old. They hatch with their eyes bright and wide, however, and a surprisingly strong bite. They remain in their burrow until they have perfected their illusion magic by playing with their littermates, relying on their mother to bring them food. Once they are old enough to leave the burrow, they stick with their mother for a few more weeks to learn how to hunt, then forge off on their own. These foxes are gifted with both wit and agility, and so grow quickly, tending toward a solitary lifestyle once they leave their mother's side.

There's a dimorphism
I see wings or like, mist fog thingies on some of the hatchlings
(temper tantrum kid upstairs stop stomping around. I wanna sleep)
We'll see how they look then when I wake up
This Signature looks so bad on mobile. Good lord it is HUGE. I'll need to work on that at some point. For now though I sleep

Not dimorphism, but maybe a rotating sprite.

The male and females look the same, but when I first saw the sprites they had no wings. Now they do.
