>>58758385Absol is based on a Bai Ze, and various versions exist throughout China and Mongolia. It is essentially an animal born with congenital anomalies that gave it a humanoid face. The most common cases involved cattle—cows, goats, and sheep—but dogs, pigs, and other wild animals also existed. From these, a mythology developed, attributing bad luck to their birth and transforming them into beings with the gift of speech and divination.
Specifically, Absol is based on the lion or white tiger version.
