Zoroark is likely based on {{wp|kitsune}} of Japanese folklore, a shape-shifting mythical {{wp|fox}} that would trick unsuspecting travelers for fun. This is similar to {{p|Ninetales}}, another Pokémon based on kitsune. Its facial markings draw from {{wp|Kabuki}} and {{wp|Noh}} theatre makeup. It also resembles a {{wp|werewolf}}, due to the fact that it is an anthropomorphic {{wp|Canidae|canid}}, like most werewolves. Its large claws are also werewolf-like.
