Question about Absol. Is it a dog or a cat?
For some reason all these years I've only ever seen it as a dog. Maybe that was my first interpretation of it from childhood and it just stuck.
But recently I've seen comparisons to a mountain lion and even a mountain goat?
What do you lot think? What do you see Absol as/compare it to?

Extremely based quads. Feline gait tho. Absol is an ambiguous mammal.
>>55651563
Don’t even need source, this is one of my favorites.
>>55651604
Wrong. Absol is one of a privileged few Pokemon to get regular threads on /vp/ and it is reasonably popular with normies. It is an evergreen pick, even as a shitmon glass cannon.

It can have both canine and feline features. After all, it´s based on a mythical creature called "Bai´ze" or "Hakutaku" in japanese. It´s face has human like features.

This design wouldn't work as a regular evolution.

Mega evolution designs are explicitly mega, which is why they get unique abilities and +100 BST, none of these attributes would have made any fucking sense as a normal evolution.

Never understood it but I like his wings.
Remind me of Pegasus Knights from FE.

I think the canon reason is intimidation.

why do so many gen 3 mons look like a middle evo?
I was hoping that they'd get new evolutions now that megas are gone but doesn't seem to be the case anymore

A man-faced cow demon (Bai-ze) according to the traditional Asian folklore it's design was based upon, although it was sometimes also reported as a 3-eyed snow panther\white tiger with goat\ram on its head.
