Vulpix is a small, fox-like Pokémon that has a red-brown pelt, brown, pupil-less eyes, and six orange tails (It gets more as it grows older). Vulpix also has what looks like orange bangs across its forehead as well as locks. At birth, Vulpix has only one white tail, which apparently splits, and grows more beautiful, and warmer as it grows older. Vulpix also has a flame inside its body that never goes out. Vulpix are able to wield Fire-type moves naturally, as well as learning a few Ghost-type moves such as Confuse Ray. They are one of very few species that undergo evolution with a Fire Stone. Vulpix usually have a friendly, if not spoiled, temperament. Because of the flame in their bodies, when the temperature outside increases, they let flames out of their mouths to prevent their body temperature from getting too hot. In the wild, Vulpix will feign injury to escape from more powerful predators. Vulpix can be found in grassy plains, near active volcanoes, or in mountainous areas with lots of shade. They are also found in urban areas such as parks, and in avenues, more commonly at night. (Unconfirmed!) Vulpix, like Ninetales, are based on foxes. However, in Japan there are certain legends concerning foxes, or kitsune, as they are known there. One such legend which relates to Vulpix the most is how many-tailed foxes can breathe fire, create illusions, and have extremely long lifespans. After living a long time, these creatures take on spirit forms, which may be the reason why these two related Pokémon can learn Ghost-type moves. Vulpix's name is a combination of "vulpes," Latin for fox, "vulcan,", and "six," referring to its six tails.
