FahneXIV: Carbuncles can look like anything the caster imagines when summoning it! Therefore, It’s a carbuncle if you say it is!

methseyers: its a carbuncle in our hearts

Kittykitala: Put a red gem on its forehead, and then it can be a carbuncle

rose_river_: "We have a carbuncle at home."

ZiriO: In our hearts it's an adopted carby, it's SUPER cute don't be sad!!! Clearly it's the half-sibling to Alphi's Moonstone and Obsidian carbuncles.

GaiaGreen3: I told you it was just a stand-in when I gave it to you! It was the closest I could find!

philbourque9337: Sew a ruby or red gem-like thing into its forehead and it's a carbuncle with multiple tails.

lisamueller7026: I second that it is a Carbuncle in our hearts.

LuisRosario-b2m: le gasp

saladinboss2507: By the power of imagination, it is a Carbuncle.

NorsePearl: It's okay, don't replace it! It's a cute carbuncle and it's yours! That's what matters

RatingHyperion: He’s absolutely a carbuncle! Ignore what others say, he’s adopted into the family and we love him regardless of his looks.

NavaSDMB: It's a carbuncle playing the 7-tailed fox of legend (look it up, lots of neat stories and she appears in a lot of Asian games and novels). It's cute enough to be a carbuncle!

konaDRAW: I have this exact same fox/kitsune xD it's close enough to being a carbuncle tbf~

Someone at Square should totes get you an actual Carbuncle plush tho :U

Webberjo: I honestly didn't notice it wasn't a carbuncle until you pointed it out. It's carbuncle sized and coloured, so I subconsciously gave it the pass.

raimarulightning: The distressed "Carb Uncle" was very cute btw

grypinh: Ive got an orange one of those named Five-Tail (original, I know ;p) and it's definitely a fox but tbh I always thought the carbies in XIV were somewhat relatable so yeah, if it's the details that make it not one just add a red something to the forehead and boom! Carby plush all your own~

BananaMellor: It is tragic. It is cute. But it is not carbuncle.

snakkupakku: even it's not a carbuncle I was kinda jazzed to see it because I have the same fox and I have a carbuncle

akira-hr4tv: I thought it was a carbuncle in your background too. It is adorable

LudYu: this is the kinda situation "my dog thinks he is a cat"

justlilygrace: Temu Carbuncle got me LMAO so hard.

taydee02: I believe it is called a Kitsune (kit-sun-ay) or a nine tailed fox!!!! But hey!!! It’s a carbuncle in our hearts hehe!!! :3

scraplette9608: Honestly, I thought it was a carbuncle too

KonDragon008: Alphinaud has a unique carbuncle, so it can totally be a carbuncle!

melaniontiveros802: Keep it!!! It’s special now!!!

magus13131: I mean... in FFXI, Carbuncle is a Fox (all the Terrestial Avatars are based off of animals; Fenrir = Wolf, Phoenix = Phoenix, Bahamut = Dragon, Diabolos = Bat, Carby = Fox).
