Umbreon's origins are uncertain, though it could be based on a {{wp|black cat}} or possibly a black fox, a color variation of the {{wp|red fox}}. Its long ears also are similar to those of a hare; numerous East Asian legends concern a {{wp|Moon rabbit}}. The rings on Umbreon's body look like Egyptian lunar markings and jewelry that have been associated with animal sculptures, such as cat statues of {{wp|Bastet}} and statues of the jackal god, {{wp|Anubis}}, from Ancient Egypt. This Egyptian aesthetic may also point to the {{wp|Set animal}}, an unknown creature | Umbreon's origins are uncertain, though it could be based on a {{wp|black cat}} or possibly a black fox, a color variation of the {{wp|red fox}}.

The rings may also be meant to resemble solar eclipses. | ||
