Vaporeon are most likely based on a cross between {{wp|dolphins}} and {{wp|cat}}s. Their skin is said to be smooth to the touch and like aquatic mammals, their tail moves up and down rather than side to side like a fish. However the fins and dorsal lining may be based off different types of {{wp|Tropical fish}}. Vaporeon has a short muzzle and sleek feline body. In anime In the anime and games, such as Mystery Dungeon and Pokepark Wii, Vaporeon is shown to enjoy sitting down and preening it's skin, fishing, and sunbathing, traits that are common with cats that live by the sea (such as the Turkish Van breed). It also shares characteristics with {{wp|mermaid}}s. | |||

Vaporeon's name is derived from ''vapor''. The ''-eon'' suffix, common to all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s, comes from Eevee's prototype English name and possibly refers to the ending suffix of ''evolution'' itself. Its Japanese name probably refers to rain showers. The French and German names are based on the word ''aqua''. | Vaporeon's name is derived from ''vapor''.
