The Albmansaypo or Tulikko (Melocravulpes siberica) is one of species of the mythological "nine-tailed" fox from the North Pole, including in Greenland and Iceland. This species was first introduced in Worldcraft and Seven Code Talkers series.
The male Albmansaypo named Morozko for light cyan fur with icicles on their own tail, while the female called Hulda for light blue fur with tailed tipped ice knives.
This species was forbidden by main known historical characters, except for Snegurochka, who predates the Pleistocene according to her.
Albmansaypo is the combination word from Northern Sami for "snowstorm's soap". 'Albmán' in singular term of first person in possessive word for "snowstorm", and sáippo in genitive word of sáibbo means "it's soap".
In male counterpart (Russian: Морозко) means "frosted" or "Jack Frost". In female counterpart, which is named after "Mother Hulda", not confused with huldra. In Sami language: "ulda" from Norwegian to Scandinavian countries for "secret" to the humankind with a weasel tail.
In 2021, Albmansaypo is actually sexual dimorphism, with feather-like feelers resembles real feathers for detection of against predators and believe that was a descendant of long lost wandering Kumiho. The Morozko Albmansaypo had light cyan fur, baby blue eyes, cyan-bluish flame fur on their shoulders and nine tails. The Hulda Albmansaypo had light blue fur, silvery blue skin, blue flame fur, and blue tipped on their nine tails.
In 2025, This species had been revamped recently, the changes in the body is more mixed with both wolf and fox. The size of this species is same as the Arctic wolf, is typically between 3 to 5 feet long and weighs between 75 and 100 pounds (34 to 45 kg), with height at the shoulder up to about 30 inches (76 cm). But the lengths about 0.9 to 4.5 meters from nose to nine tails. They both had ice spikes on their shoulders, and the ice formations on their bodies functioned as armor. But depending on the gender, the ice armor is different. The male Albmansaypo had several icicles covering their tails, which caused further discomfort. The female Albmansaypo had an ice crown on her head and nine spear-shaped tails that made her more formidable to predators and prey.
The Morozko Albmansaypo is the male or dog of this species. The male's fur is thick and fluffy and the color is sky blue, with white below and face. He also had light gray sock patterns on their limbs, two cyan feelers with blue dot that resembled feathers near their foreheads, and two bright cyan eyeshadow. He featured eight pairs of fake grayish cyan tails with whitish blue and light blue tips, with the genuine tail in the middle acting as the "leader" to follow the waving tails during courtship.
The Hulda Albmansaypo is the female or vixen of this species. The female's fur is thick and fluffy and the color is bluish wisteria, with white below and face. She also had grayish blue sock patterns on their limbs, two cyan feelers with blue dot that resembled feathers near their foreheads, and two bright cyan eyeshadow. She featured eight pairs of fake bright wisteria tails with whitish blue and light blue tips, with the genuine tail in the middle acting as the "leader" to follow the waving tails during courtship.
The Albmansaypo is actually very smart and able to stay out of harm's way. The Morozko's wind blasts are both forward and straight, whereas the Hulda's are genuinely blasted and erupt greater than TNT. Hulda/Morozko will emerge and wail in agony over losing its spouse after it is slain. They wrap their tails in ice, which serves as armor, and howl at midnight under a full moon. In the end, Morozko/Hulda will howl to break the ice, sending tiny shards flying away in a spread shot. The Ice element will also augment several of his/her attacks, giving the hunters more damage.
Similar to waterfowl, the Albmansaypo uses countercurrent heat exchange to stay warm in such conditions, losing very little heat in the process. Its tails contain a tiny amount of fat that permits cold air to enter its body. To survive in its frigid or mountainous environment, the North Pole's nine-tailed fox even had thick tails. The Albmansaypo, like the snow leopard, used its nine tails as a blanket to protect its face and body from the bitter cold. During a severe snowstorm, the tail also becomes larger and accumulates fat, which serves as a source of energy during times when food is in short supply.
The Albmansaypo's hook-like claws, like those of the Elder Dragon Velkhana, are employed to grasp the cold floor of its habitat, keeping Velkhana from slipping on the snow and ice that cover its turf. To combat threats, the Albmansaypo mostly employs its claws and spear-like tail, swiftly and precisely grasping or impaling its opponents several times.
Similar to this Elder Dragon from the Monster Hunter series, the Albmansaypo can regulate or breathe the supercooled water inside its body by using a specific sac between its lungs. It can also breathe this water out of its mouth, quickly freezing any items or creatures caught in the blast. The Albmansaypo is actually very intelligent and is able to avoid pitfall traps. The Morozko's wind blasts are both straight and forward, while the Hulda's wind blasts are actually bombarded and explode larger than TNT. The fox secretes supercooled water from the spaces between its thick skin and fur in addition to breathing it out of its mouth. In addition to generating icy armor that further shields its body from an enemy's blows using the supercooled water it secretes, it will leave behind pools of freezing mist throughout the arena while it battles. The fox can even develop new tails using the supercooled water it secretes after all of its tails have been severed. The nine-tailed fox uses its ice skills in the winter. The nine-tailed fox cannot be employed if it disturbs or induces intermittent snowstorms following the winter.
Albmansaypo are omnivores that mostly consume fish and other small prey, such as fruits and pine cones. These animals must contend with other enormous predatory species from the Korean Peninsula and around the world because they are skilled predators. According to legend, these are foxes that have lived for hundreds of years (unlike their forebears) and possess the capacity to fog and produce bubbles for an enigmatic appearance. these typically manifest as courtship with peafowl tails in order to attract a mate. The main predators for this species are killer whales, polar bears, wolves, lions, saber-toothed cats, and even humans.
It produces cold bubbles by rubbing its hairs and tail in specific fluid secretions created by its own body, as well as water. It possesses distinctive hook-like claws on its limbs that allow it to instantly halt sliding in the face of danger. The Albmansaypo is nearly invariably portrayed as a malevolent figure who feeds on human flesh, fish liver, sheep's heart, dog's brain, dragon's kidney, tiger's kidney, pine cones, persimmons, roses, azaleas, any souls, and more. Many ancient scriptures mention the kind kumiho supporting people by negotiating with them.
These foxes are cautious but not usually hostile in the wild. They rarely come into contact with people because they live in isolated, uninhabited parts of the Arctic, thus they don't exhibit much fear or animosity. When quietly approached, they may exhibit curiosity, but if they feel threatened, they will flee. Although icy "nine-tailed" foxes who are socialized or kept in captivity may develop relationships with their caregivers as slaves or guardians, they are nonetheless unpredictable and instinctive.
The Albmansaypo live in the circumpolar Arctic, which encompasses Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Norway (including Svalbard), Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Russia. The nine-tailed fox primarily lives in the Arctic and on sea ice in order to hunt seals and whales. Foxes like yearly ice at continental shelves and coastlines, and denning occurs on land or in snowdrifts near beaches. The northern sections of the United States, Korea, Hokkaido, Mongolia, Iran, the Baltic countries, and other subarctic areas are examples of non-polar biomes where it migrates. Unlike all fox species, even nine-tailed foxes, the species consistently depicts a couple that never divorces or breaks up.

Albamansaypo are very difficult to tame, instead if your ally was female or male based on the opposite gender side. Kumiho likes badgers, making a sacrificial alternative for Kumiho eaten alive if you have pet badgers of all species (except for badger-weasels and stink badgers, these are not real badgers). Alternatively, can feed the wild Albmansaypo pup by feeding them using fruits or meat.
