The Flute is the tool of the Fox Miraculous.
The current owner of the flute is Alya Césaire, who uses it as the superhero Rena Rouge.
Previously, it was used by Gabriel Agreste when he used the Fox Miraculous with the other Miraculouses in his possession to become Monarch. It was also used by Marinette Dupain-Cheng who unified the Mouse Miraculous with the Fox Miraculous to become Multifox.
Appearance[]
The flute changes color depending on whose possession it's in:
- When it is used by Rena Rouge, the flute is orange with white stripes, which resembles the red fox's colors, with holes along one side.
- When it was temporarily used by Multifox, the flute had the same coloring as Rena Rouge's flute.
- When it was used by Rena Furtive, the flute assumed the same bluish-white camouflage coloration as her costume, which resembles the arctic fox's colors.
- When it was used by Monarch, the flute kept the same appearance, but instead was purple.
Abilities[]
The flute can be used defensively to block; offensively to strike, jab, or bludgeon; and it can aid in the application of armlocks, similar to a baton.
The flute has the ability to summon the power Mirage when played, creating one hyper-realistic illusion that the wielder conceives when the holder plays. After the flute has been used, the Miraculous starts to time out, unlike Volpina's variant. Similar to Cat Noir's staff and Ladybug's yo-yo, the holder also uses the flute in hand to hand combat, and when not in use, the holder keeps the flute attached to their back.
In "Mr. Pigeon 72", it's revealed the flute can also be used as a communicator; it projects a hologram of a phone screen from the blowhole. Like Cat Noir's and Ladybug's weapons, when the flute is converted into its cellphone mode, it can take photographs.[1] It is also revealed in "Sentibubbler" that it can be used to text other people.
As seen in "Risk", the flute can also be used as spyglass telescope.

Trivia[]
- This specific kind of flute is a reed-pipe or a "pipeau" in French.
- The choice of naming could be a reference to the phrase "jouer du pipeau" (to play the reed-pipe), meaning "to lie."[2]
- After decoding the Fox Miraculous page from the spellbook one of the scrambled words translates to Box and wood when combined it means "Boxwood" which was a type of wood used to make woodwind instruments and is also native to Asia hinting that the Mage could've used it to make the flute.
- Rena Rouge's flute is shorter than the flute depicted in the Miraculous spellbook; this may be because weapons can take on different forms to adapt to the user's preference.
- Volpina, an akumatized villain who is based off a former Fox Miraculous holder, has the ability to create as many illusions as she desires, as opposed to the real Fox Miraculous holder.
- As implied in "Timetagger", a real adult Fox Miraculous holder can use their power as many times they want without running out of power.
- The flute is the second known Miraculous tool required by its holder to access their superpower, following Ladybug's yo-yo.
- It's the second Miraculous tool not used as a mode of transportation, following Hawk Moth's cane.
- The flute is also the sixth Miraculous tool that can be used for communication, following Ladybug's yo-yo, Cat Noir's staff, Queen Bee/Vesperia's spinning top, Hawk Moth's cane, and Mayura's Hand Fan.
