Umbreon

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Umbreon is a quadruped mammalian Pokémon that resembles a black cat, a black rabbit, or a canine. Umbreon has mainly sleek black fur with luminescent yellow rings encircling its ears and tail and round yellow circular patterns on its forehead and on each of its legs. Its physical characteristics resemble a feline, with a short muzzle and a small triangular nose, but its large ears are reminiscent to a hare or a rabbit. It has red eyes, and unlike the rest of the Eeveelutions, it also has visible black-colored oval-shaped pupils that often appear slit, as well as patches of black fur of a darker shade around its eyes. Umbreon has a slightly bushy black tail with a single yellow ring encircling its thickest part; the tail thins out at the tip. Umbreon has small sharp fangs, and can be seen when it opens its mouth.
A Shiny Umbreon has blue ring markings and its fur has now taken on a deep shade of grey. It has yellow eyes instead of red ones. 
===Behavior===
Umbreon are carnivorous Pokémon, and will stalk prey silently during the night. When an Umbreon senses an enemy's presence, it waits for its enemy to come into range. It kills its prey by biting it by its throat before eating the corpse. 
Despite being carnivores, they are very protective of their trainers and will chase aggressors with Pursuit.
Umbreon are rarely found in the wild, and are more commonly sighted in urban areas.
===Natural abilities===
Upon being exposed to the moonlight, the patterns on their fur glow and fill up with energy. Umbreon release the energy at night or when they are excited, and can use it to strike fear into bystanders to scare them away. The patterns on their fur gain a dim light when about to attack. 
Umbreon can spray a cloud of toxic gas from their sweat glands to paralyze their aggressor when agitated. Umbreon are also nocturnal and have powerful night vision. The color of their fur also lets them hide in the dark.
==Evolution==
Umbreon evolves from Eevee if it levels up at night with high friendship.
In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, using a Moon Shard will evolve Eevee into Umbreon.
In the Mystery Dungeon series, Umbreon evolves with a Lunar Ribbon.

===Origin===
According to Motofumi Fujiwara, a key person at Game Freak, Eevee was based on a vague childhood experience he had. He described seeing an "indefinable creature" and that Eevee was based on a drawing of all that he could remember of it. Though it wasn't based on any distinct animal, Fujiwara mentioned that Eevee reminded him of a fluffy cat or dog-like creature. Each one of Eevee's evolutions are based on the same design but are made to resemble their type.https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-09-10/pokemon-designers-reflect-on-history-of-eevee-design/.136529
Additionally, it is most likely based on a black cat, due to its short muzzle and body structure. Umbreon's Japanese name, Blacky, could be a reference to black cats, as they are considered lucky in Japan, but unlucky in western countries. Its rings could represent Egyptian lunar markings and jewelry, associated with the Egyptian goddess Bastet, who was originally a Lioness goddess of the sun, but Greeks occupying Ancient Egypt had her changed into the goddess of the moon. Furthering the lunar theme, Metamorphoses is a narrative poem that involves the Roman Goddess of the moon, Diana, change into the form of a cat as she flees to Egypt. 
Its ears are rabbit-like, which is likely a reference to the Moon Hare of Japanese folklore. 
===Etymology===
Umbreon comes from "Umbra", which means "shade" or "shadow", and "Eon", which means a long period of time.
Its Japanese name, Blacky, is transcribed as Burakkii, and comes from "black" and "lucky" (in Japan, black cats, which served as the inspiration for Umbreon, are considered an omen of good luck). It may also be inspired from 月 (tsuki, Japanese for moon), a reference for being the Moonlight Pokémon.
