Biology

Furret is a tan mammalian creature bearing a strong resemblance to a ferret. Its most notable feature is its long skinny body, which is used for slipping through the small entrances to their nests. It has four medium sized brown rings from its tail to the middle of its torso and smaller brown rings on each of its forepaws, although its hind paws are cream-colored. It has two brown lines on each cheek, cream-tipped ears, and the top of its head is brown. Its paws have circular pink paw pads. Like its pre-evolution, it is capable of standing on its hind legs, but prefers to move on all fours. Furret bears a slight resemblance to Linoone.

Behavior

Due to its abnormally long, slender body, Furret are able to dig very narrow burrows, which no other Pokémon can enter. The mother puts its offspring to sleep by curling up around them.

Habitat

Furret tend to burrow deep in the ground of meadows or prairies. The deeper their burrow is, the more maze-like it becomes. The burrows are also very narrow, so only the long bodies of Furret can enter inside.

Trivia

• Furret made its anime debut in A Claim to Flame!, which is twice the episode number of Sentret's debut episode, Tanks a Lot!.
• In A Claim to Flame!, Furret is misrepresented as a Ground-type. However, its Trainer Salvador's main strategy is to utilize Dig, a Ground-type move.
• Furret's HeartGold and SoulSilver Sugimori artwork has the exact same pose as its original Generation II artwork. It shares this trait with Nidorina, whose artwork was in the same pose in both the Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen art.
• Furret has a similar appearance to the Hoenn region's Linoone, and are also the evolved form of one of the first seen Normal-Type Pokémon, just as Linoone is.

Origin

Furret appears to be based on a ferret.

Name origin

Furret's name is a combination of fur and ferret. It is more similar to a ferret than Sentret. Its Japanese name is a combination of 大 ō, big, and 鼬 itachi, weasel, and may also include 尾 o, tail, and 立つ tatsu, stand, just like Sentret's Japanese name.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin German Wiesenior Modified version of its pre-evolution's German name, including Wiese and Senior, referring to its higher evolution state. French Fouinar From fouine; although the actual meaning implied by the corruption seems to be snoop. Korean 다꼬리 Dakkori Derived from 대 (大) dae and 꼬리 kkori. Chinese (Mandarin) 大尾立 Dàwĕilì From its Japanese name. Literally "Big tail stand". Chinese (Cantonese) 大尾立 Daaihméihlahp Same as Mandarin name
