>>45055714>>45055942Echidnas are called needle mice in Japanese so it's an echidna you idiot.
Design has nothing to do with a mouse.
Salamanders are not dragons in mythology they are often associated with dragons that's why the evolution line isn't dragon type but whatever.
>>45057660It has more ape-like features.
Also a fox isn't a fucking dog.
Chimchar line is probably because in Chinese they don't have a word to differentiate both.

Salamanders aren't Dragons go read the fucking mythology.
>>45058386>>45058413Doesn't have a tail how is it a monkey?
>>45058507They use different kanji to differentiate animals so they are not all the same animal.
And the reason they don't have a specialised word for echidna is they didn't encounter echidnas until modern times so why would they develop a specialised word for it? You're the Gaijin here.
