Furret (Japanese: オオタチ Ootachi) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Furret is a tan mammalian creature bearing a strong resemblance to a ferret. Its most notable feature is its long skinny body which is used for slipping through the small entrances to their nests. It has four medium sized brown rings from its tail to the middle of its torso and smaller brown rings on each of its hands. It has two brown lines on each cheek and the top of its head is also brown.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Despite its short legs, Furret are very nimble. When they are under attack, they can easily squirm away using their long bodies and escape through narrow spaces.

Habitat

Trivia

Origin

Furret appears to be based on a ferret.

Name origin

Furret's name is a combination of ferret and furry. It is more similar to a ferret than Sentret. Its Japanese name is a combination of 大 ō, big, and 鼬 itachi, weasel, and may also include 尾 o, tail, and 立つ tatsu, stand, just like Sentret's Japanese name. The French for ferret happens to be Furet, yet the French corruption is actually Beech Marten; although the actual meaning implied by the corruption seems to be snoop.
