Because of its feline appearance, Espeon appears to be based on the legend of the ''{{wp|bakeneko}}'' and the ''{{wp|nekomata}}'', both magical cat ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' described as mysterious and intelligent, but the distinction between the two is that the latter is depicted with a forked tail. It may also be based on the {{wp|Lynx (mythology)}}, a feline creature that possesses the psychic power of clairvoyance. The red coloring of the jewel could be a reference to a {{wp|lunar eclipse}}, an event in which the moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow, making it appear red in color. | Because of its feline appearance, Espeon appears to be based on the legend of the ''{{wp|bakeneko}}'' and the ''{{wp|nekomata}}'', both magical cat ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' described as mysterious and intelligent, but the distinction between the two is that the latter is depicted with a forked tail.
