Mienfoo | According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Mienfoo and {{p|Mienshao|its evolution}} were created after the game planners requested for {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon based on animals, since most pre-existing Fighting-type Pokémon have been humanoid in appearance. Based on this, Mienfoo is based on an {{wp|Stoat|ermine}} and a user of {{wp|Chinese martial arts|kung fu}}.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also be based on the ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', a weasel ''yōkai'' with sharp claws. | ||
