Espeon appears to be based on legend of the {{wp|nekomata}}, also known as bake-neko, which are mysterious, intelligent, fork-tailed goblin cats. It additionally resembles a {{wp|Carbuncle (mythology)|carbuncle}}, a Latin-American mythological beast which had a jewel on its forehead. It also has traits of {{wp|caracal}}s, {{wp|sphynx cat}}s, {{wp|lynx}}es, and due to its large ears, {{wp|fennec fox|fennec foxes}}. | Espeon appears to be based on legend of the {{wp|nekomata}}, also known as bake-neko, which are mysterious, intelligent, fork-tailed goblin cats.

* More specifically, its shiny coloration was selected to resemble [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Carbuncle_%28summon%29|Carbuncle]], a recurring summon found in many ''Final Fantasy'' games. Espeon's hidden ability is a reference to Carbuncle's "Emerald Light" power, which cloaks the player's party in a magic-reflecting barrier. | |||
