===Origin===
===Origin===
Thievul appears to be based on the {{wp|red fox}}. Its facial features and mustache-like whiskers also bear a resemblance to stereotypical depictions of thieves and burglars, as well as the {{wp|gentleman thief}} trope. Its front legs resemble gloves, which thieves and burglars would wear. Thievul's relationship with {{p|Boltund}} may be a reference to {{wp|Fox hunting}} where red foxes were hunted by English foxhounds, which Boltund appears to be based on.
