===Origin===
===Origin===
Because of its feline appearance, Espeon appears to be based on the legend of the {{wp|bakeneko}} and the {{wp|nekomata}}, both Japanese mythological creatures depicted as mysterious, intelligent, fork-tailed goblin cats. The orb on its forehead also shares similar traits to that of the {{wp|Carbuncle (mythology)|carbuncle}}, a Latin-American mythological beast that had a jewel on its forehead. 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.

Its large ears can be traced to {{wp|caracal}}s, {{wp|oriental shorthair}}s, and {{wp|lynx}}es. Espeon's ability to sense minute shifts in the air with its sensitive fur mirrors the cat's ability of using its sensitive whiskers to detect the slightest directional change in a breeze.
