Each day, the Gallant Fox may select a player other than themselves to protect from attacks and the lynch during the following night and day phases, and the chosen player will be announced to the wolfpack. Once per game, the Gallant Fox may alternatively join the wolfpack as a regular wolf.

The chosen player will be protected from attacks and lynches during the following night and day phase, though not the current day phase. The protection does not wear off early if the Gallant Fox dies or changes role. The Gallant Fox may not protect the same player consecutively. If the Gallant Fox survives the day, the wolfpack is informed at the start of the night that the Gallant Fox has chosen to protect a player, as well as who that player is. The Gallant Fox is neither a lycan, nor a member of the wolfpack. If the Gallant Fox chooses to join the wolfpack, they may not select a player to protect, and will lose their power, becoming a regular wolf. Joining the wolfpack and choosing a target to protect are immediate abilities.
