The Kumiho is similar to other fox creatures, such as the Japanese kitsune and Chinese Huli jing. Even though they have similar magical abilities and longevity, Kumiho is more malevolent than other fox spirits. Of these long-lived legendary creatures, the Kumiho is the only fox that kills and eats humans. Kumiho is just a myth itś not real and no one has seen this fox so "it" does not exist.
Answer: Deriving from ancient Chinese myths and folklores, a fox that lives a thousand years turns into a kumiho, like its Japanese and Chinese counterparts. It can freely transform, among other things, into a beautiful woman often set out to seduce boys, and eat their liver or heart (depending on the legend).
