While intelligent enough to easily understand human speech, Ninetales is a very vengeful Pokémon that has been known to curse those who mistreat it. Ninetails will also curse anyone who wakes it up by grabbing one of its many tails. The curse can last up to 1,000 years. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], once a Ninetales casts its curse, it cannot be removed even by Ninetales itself. It can live for 1,000 years due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power. Flames spewed from its mouth can hypnotize an opponent and its gleaming red eyes are said to give it the ability to control minds.

As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Ninetales is known to sleep while wrapped inside its tails, giving it a mystical appearance.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "Its nine gorgeous tails are said to be imbued with supernatural power. When it sleeps wrapped in its tails, this Pokémon has a mystical appearance, but grabbing one of its many tails to wake it up for fun could result in a 1,000-year curse."</ref> [[M01|The anime]] has shown that it can swim while [[Pokémon-Amie]] shows that Ninetales lick their paws to clean themselves. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ninetales are rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. | ||
