Entei (Japanese: エンテイ Entei) is a Fire-type legendary Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
It is, along with Raikou and Suicune, one of the legendary beasts created by Ho-Oh after the burning of the Brass Tower.
Biology
Entei is a lion-like creature that bears some resemblance to a Mastiff. It is covered in brown fur with a long, thick mane covering its neck. It has gray plates surrounding the cape that makes it look as if smoke is coming out of a crater on its back. Entei has white paws and black cuff-like bands on its legs, It has a red face with a white plate that resembles a handlebar mustache on its face, and a three-pointed yellow crest on its forehead. Entei's head appears to resemble a kabuto, a samurai helmet.
It is said that an Entei is born whenever a volcano erupts. It is also said that whenever Entei roars, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world.
Gender differences
Entei is a genderless species.
Special abilities
Entei can shoot flames that are hotter than volcanic magma. It also sports limited mental powers. When it roars, it can make a volcano erupt on another part of the globe.
Behavior
Habitat
As a member of the legendary beast trio, Entei are constantly on the move with no set place to hang around in. However, it is speculated that Entei (as well as the other legendary beasts) is not a unique species because Pokédex entries state that an Entei is born every time a new volcano is born and, in Pokémon Ranger, Solana or Lunick say "Wow! An Entei!" rather than saying "Wow! Entei!"

In the anime
Entei was a major character in the movie Spell of the Unown. In the movie, an illusionary Entei appeared to Molly Hale after she made a wish on the Unown.
A real Entei later appeared in the episode Entei at Your Own Risk.
A Mirage Entei was used by the Mirage Master in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon.
Entei made a small cameo at the opening of Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
In the manga
Entei was awakened by Yellow along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around Kanto and Johto looking for Trainers to help them defeat the Mask of Ice to free Ho-Oh. Entei eventually pairs up with Blaine, and later Silver. In this manga, Entei's fire has a healing effect, burning away disease and evil auras. Blaine uses this fire to burn away the Mewtwo cells infecting his arm, and DJ Mary's Smeargle copies this power using Sketch.

Other appearances
When released from a Poké Ball, Entei unleashes a volcanic Fire Spin that deals a lot of damage to any opponents that get trapped in it.

NPC appearances
- Pokémon Ranger: Gordor considers Entei to be the best and most loyal of the legendary trio. The player captures it when it is first unleashed in the Jungle Relic but it is still taken by the Go-Rock Squad, using their new Super Styler. Entei later acts as the final boss of the game.

Trivia
- Entei can be seen in the photograph above the green table in the Misthouse Lodge in Pokémon Ranger.
- Entei shares the same species name with Quilava and Typhlosion. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
- Entei is somehow able to use Iron Tail, although it lacks a visible tail.
- The words for bark and roar can be the same in Japanese, hence the confusion of Entei's earlier descriptions saying it barked.
- Entei is one of the fifteen Pokémon whose numbers are the same in more than one Pokédex-like listing, sharing its National Pokédex and Johto Pokédex numbers.
Origin
It has aspects of several different animals, but most prominently resembles stocky, short muzzled breeds of dogs, and full grown male lions. Entei may possibly be based on the mythical chinese guardian lion-dogs, or Aterui, the chief of the Emishi, who was later labelled as a demon called 'Aka-gashira' (Red-Head).
Another origin may also be Taira no Kiyomori. There is a legend where Kiyomori's body was extremely hot from dying of a fever, it would burn those who walk near him. It also has the appearance of a volcano, its head is volcano-shaped and has a bright yellow eruption-flame on the top, and the red magma is seen on the side of its face, it has volcanic smoke leaving from the back and has two spiky mountains on the back too.
Name origin
Entei's Japanese name is likely a combination of 炎天 enten, blazing heat, or just 炎 en – an alternate reading of honō – flame, and 皇帝 kōtei, emperor. Its name can thus be written in kanji as 炎帝 (identical to the Chinese "Yándì").
