We already have Houndour line as the Pokémon take on hellhounds, but Umbreon itself can be seen as being inspired by other interpretations of the [[wp:Black dog (ghost)|black dogs]] in the British folklore, such as {{wp|Black Shuck}}. Plus since more people interpret Umbreon as a dog than a cat, would that be possible for Umbreon to be based off the Black Shuck or other ghostly black dogs?

:Houndoom's design references hellhounds and the devil, it's black, devilish, looks like dobermann, has horns, bones, arrow tail and ''demon'' in French and and German names. Umbreon is a vague cat and dog mix, isn't particularly evil, related to moonlight and has ''lucky'' in it's name. There's nothing to interpret it as clearly dog-like, plus British folklore isn't as known as Greek mythology.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 10:47, 17 May 2021 (UTC) | :Houndoom's design references hellhounds and the devil, it's black, devilish, looks like dobermann, has horns, bones, arrow tail and ''demon'' in French and and German names.

::There are some black dogs that are actually benevolent or neutral instead of actively malevolent like others. Gurt Dog of Somerset and Hanging Hills' Black Dog are some of the benevolent black dogs, and Guardian black Dogs in some stories are rendered as neutral ghost dogs. I can believe Umbreon would be based off those non-malevolent black dogs. [[User:SpecialStageRoute|Special Stage Route]] ([[User talk:SpecialStageRoute|pit stop]]) 16:58, 23 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
