>>12538090I always saw Eevee as a carbuncle: a latin-american mythic creature, which usually looks like a small mammal and is extremely rare... Though Espeon is actually the carbuncle Pokemon by excellence.
Most Eeveelutions are mythic creatures now that I think about it:
Vaporeon - Merfolk / Mermaid
Jolteon - Raiju
Flareon - Flame elemental?
Espeon - Carbuncle
Umbreon - Anubis?
Leafeon - Forest elemental?
Glaceon - Yuki Onna (maybe)
Sylveon - Sylph / Nymph
