Line 49: Line 49:
Raikou is a quadrupedal, yellow, {{wp|tiger}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with black stripes and a white underside. It has a thin, light blue tail with sharp angles and a spark-shaped formation at the end. Most of its face consists of thick, white fur and shorter yellow fur around its red eyes. Raikou's muzzle is a light blue "X" and it has a black faceplate with two bumps that cover its forehead, nose, and ears. Raikou has two long fangs that make its appearance similar to the {{wp|saber-toothed cat}}. Its large claws each converge to form a single point and never retract. Extra fur hangs off its body in front of its thighs. Raikou has a mane across its back that resembles dull purple rain clouds and allows it to shoot bolts of lightning.

A proverb claims that Raikou descended from the sky with a lightning bolt. [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (anime special)#Part 2|As seen in the anime]], Raikou is able to fly by creating storm clouds. [[The Legend of Thunder!|It is shown]] to be distrustful of humans, though it may form some friendship with those who help it. Raikou tends to appear during thunderstorms and when other Electric-type Pokémon are in danger. Raikou is said to represent the speed of lightning and can control storm clouds at will. Raikou races across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} while barking cries that sound like thunder. Raikou's cries can also send shock waves in the air while shaking the ground at the same time. Raikou loves [[Raikou Treat|Raikou Treats]] made by [[Snacksworth]], who met it in the past.
