It is most likely based off of a {{wp|Black Cat}}. It's appearance has a feline-shaped skull, slitted eyes, and a lithe sleek body. Its tail is thicker than most of its brethren, looking like a frightened cat's tail or perhaps even foxlike. In the anime and games like Pokepark Wii and Mystery Dungeon Umbreon displays actions that are also very catlike, such as licking itself, stretching and arching it's back, and even raising its fur to stand out (like a typical black cat silhouette). This would make sense to its type being Dark; black cats in most cultures are associated with deception and trickery. The rings on its body look like Egyptian lunar markings and jewelry that have been associated with cat sculpture as well. Some of its traits, such as the long ears, are similar to those of a {{wp|hare}}; Numerous East Asian legends concern a {{wp|Moon rabbit}}. In old European stories, the {{wp|Moon gazing hare}} also has roots tied to folklore sources containing references to the Moon, hares, and night-time. | It is most likely based off of a {{wp|Black Cat}}.
