There is no actual phobia of foxes. A phobia is an irrational fear of something, so the suffix must be -phobia. On the other hand, the Greek for fox is "αλεπού" (alepou), whereas the Latin is "vulpes". Saying this, either Alepou- or Vulpo- must be the prefix. Inducting this, we can conclude that the supposed phobia of foxes is called Alepouphobia, or Vulpophobia. There is no definite answer, so i can't give you a real answer, other than that.

∙ 15y agoThere doesn't seem to be a bona fide name for the irrational fear of foxes. Most phobias have the suffix -phobia attached to the greek or latin name for what it is. The Greek for fox is "αλεπού", (alepou) whereas the Latin is "vulpes".
From this, we can deduce that the fear of foxes would either be "alepouphobia" or "vulpophobia".
It's not an official answer, as I cannot find a definite fear, but if it's going to follow suit, it'll be one of the above.
