Sorcery

Create a Monster Role token attached to target creature you control. When you do, that creature fights up to one target creature you don't control. (If you control another Role on it, put that one into the graveyard. Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has trample. Creatures that fight each deal damage equal to their power to the other.)

Rulings
You don't choose a target for the creature to fight at the time you cast this spell. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when you create a Monster Role token attached to the creature that was targeted by the spell. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.

If you can't attach a Monster Role token to the target creature you control when Curse of the Werefox resolves, the reflexive trigger that causes the fight won't happen.
2023-09-01wotc
If the creature you control already has a Role that you control attached to it, that Role will be put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action after the Monster Role is attached to it but before the reflexive triggered ability resolves.

Roles are colorless enchantment tokens. Each one has the Aura and Role subtypes and the enchant creature ability.
2023-09-01wotc
If a permanent has more than one Role attached to it controlled by the same player, each of those Roles except the one with the most recent timestamp is put into its owner’s graveyard. This is a state-based action.
2023-09-01wotc
If two or more Roles controlled by the same player become attached to a permanent at the same time (perhaps due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), that player chooses which one to keep and which are put into their owners’ graveyards.
2023-09-01wotc
A permanent can have multiple Roles attached to it if each one is controlled by a different player.
2023-09-01wotc
Some spells and abilities that create Role tokens require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. The Role token won’t be created.
2023-09-01wotc
In rare cases, a spell or ability might attempt to create a Role token enchanting a permanent that it can’t legally enchant (because of an ability like protection from enchantments). In such cases, the Role token isn’t created.
2023-09-01wotc
Hexproof and shroud won’t prevent a Role from becoming attached to a permanent if the ability creating that Role attached to that permanent doesn’t target it.
2023-09-01wotc
Cards in the Wilds of Eldraine main set create six different Role tokens: Cursed, Monster, Royal, Sorcerer, Wicked, and Young Hero. A seventh Role token, Virtuous, is created by Ellivere of the Wild Court, the commander of the “Virtue and Valor” Commander Deck.
