Origin[]
King Dox is a handsome fox with a shrewd and knowing expression. He wears large spectacles and a gold crown with shiny points.
His likeness is carved over both the gate of the city and the main entrance of the palace.
King Dox has the power to transform a person's head to that of a fox, but he cannot change it back.
When Dorothy Gale, the Shaggy Man, and Button-Bright visited Foxville on their way to the Land of Oz, King Dox was so impressed with Button-Bright's curious nature he transformed the boy's head into that of a fox. He also begged Dorothy for an invitation to Ozma's birthday party, which he did later attend.
