Vulpix, like {{p|Ninetales}}, are based on foxes. However, in Japan there are certain legends concerning foxes, or ''[[wp:kitsune|kitsune]]'', as they are known there. One such legend which relates to Vulpix the most is how many-tailed foxes can breathe fire, create illusions, and have extremely long lifespans. After living a long time, these creatures take on spirit forms, which may be the reason why these two related [[Pokémon]] can learn {{t|Ghost}}-type moves.
