>>53230531Most of their 'dex entries are about their fur.
>Its fur has the look and feel of velvet.>>53231089>is it really a cat?Yes. They are based on nekomata, a type of demon cats with two tails that split from the tip of the original. Also- their feminine alien look and shiny version could be referencing "Midori no Neko", a jade-colored cat with an otherwordly green glow (guess the twist). But their red jewel could mean Espeon were inspired by a creature from Final Fantasy called Carbuncle, which has a similar gem that uses Ruby Light to cast Reflect- a spell that makes MAGIC BOUNCE back to the enemy.
>other Eevee-lutions look like dogs.Umbreon is a cat too but with bunny ears, which signify their relationship to the night and the moon.
>I'm pretty sure Eevee's a dog.Eevee were admittedly based on a "fox-squirrel" from "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind", which in turn were inspired by fennec foxes.
