The Japanese have a lot of this. One you might find particularly interesting is the folklore related to a creature known as a Kitsune. ;) Try looking up old woodcuts and prints of those.

Aren't Kitsunes those multi-tailed foxes?

Most often said to be multi-tailed, but it is actually rare they show them.
