You're quite right that this was no everyday fox, but his true story is only remembered by few loremasters nowadays. To the Elves he was known as Oiorusco, the Wandering Fox, and he had been around since the First Age; the tale goes that Eru blessed/cursed him (depending on your point of view) with immortality, human reason and the gift of speech in reward/punishment for killing Lalaith's beloved mutant ninja geese back in old Dor-lómin.
