 ===Origin===
-Umbreon's origins are uncertain, though it could be based on a {{wp|black cat}}, which was considered to be an omen of bad luck (in most Western countries, contrary to Japan's viewpoint in which it is considered lucky) and can be interpreted as the reasoning behind the {{t|Dark}} typing. Its long ears are similar to those of a hare and may originate from the East Asian legends concerning a {{wp|Moon rabbit}}.

-The rings on Umbreon's body resemble Egyptian lunar markings and jewelry that have been associated with animal sculptures, such as cat statues of the Egyptian goddess {{wp|Bastet}}. While Bastet was originally a lioness warrior and the goddess of the sun, the Greeks occupying ancient Egypt toward the end of its civilization changed her into a cat and the goddess of the moon. This change may have drawn some of the inspiration for the Pokémon's lunar theme. Furthering the lunar theme, {{wp|Metamorphoses}} is a narrative poem that involves the Roman Goddess of the moon, {{wp|Diana}}, changing into the form of a cat as she flees to Egypt.

 Additionally, Umbreon may be inspired by {{wp|Tezcatlipoca}}, a central deity in {{wp|Aztec religion}} who took the form of a black jaguar that had yellow horizontal bands, and was associated with the night sky.
