Line 44: Line 43:
Meowth is a small, feline Pokémon with cream-colored fur that turns brown at the tips of its hind paws and tail. Its ovoid head features four prominent whiskers, wide eyes with slit pupils, two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, and a gold oval coin embedded in its forehead. Its ears are black with brown interiors, and are flanked with an additional pair of long whiskers. Meowth is a quadruped with the ability to walk on its hind legs; while the games always depict Meowth on two legs, the [[EP070|anime]] states that Meowth normally walks on all fours. It can freely manipulate its claws, retracting them when it wants to move silently. The tip of its tail curls tightly.

Meowth is attracted to round and shiny objects, and has the [[Signature move|unique ability]] to produce coins using {{m|Pay Day}}. It is known to wander about city streets and pick up anything that that sparkles, including loose change. Upon finding a sparkling object, its eyes will glitter and the coin on its forehead will shine brightly. Meowth is a playful Pokémon with the capacity for human-like intelligence, with at least one member of the species teaching itself how to {{an|Meowth|speak}}. Meowth tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

Meowth was cloned in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', but his clone couldn't talk or walk on two legs, just like an ordinary Meowth, likely due to the fact that its progenitor needed to ''learn'' how to do this. The Meowth clone is encountered again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Meowth}}
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Meowth is based on [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s own pet cat.{{fact}} Meowth seems to be based upon the Japanese legend of the 招き猫 ''{{wp|Maneki Neko}}'', also known as the lucky cat or beckoning cat. According to one legend, a cat raised its paw to welcome a lord and saved his life when a lightning bolt hit the spot where he had been standing. Maneki Neko are often used as charms in restaurants and shops to bring customers or fortune and good luck. Statues of the cat are usually depicted holding a ''{{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}}'', an ancient coin used in Japan, like the one on Meowth's head.
