Furret (Japanese: オオタチ Ootachi) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Sentret starting at level 15.

Biology

Physiology

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, as both have long, slender bodies and a similar range of coloration.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Furret are very fast, despite their short limbs. It is very slim, so it is able to squirm through small spaces to escape foes.

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. It corners foes with speed.

Habitat

Grassland Pokémon

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

Origin

Furret appears to be based on a ferret.

Name origin

Furret is a combination of fur and ferret. It is more similar in body to a ferret than Sentret.

Ootachi is a combination of 大 ō (big) and 鼬 itachi (weasel), and it may also include 尾 o (tail) and 立つ tatsu (stand), just like Sentret's Japanese name, Otachi.

In other languages

Language Title Meaning Japanese オオタチ Ootachi From 大 ō and 立ち tatsu or 鼬 itachi French Fouinar From fouine; although the meaning implied by the corruption seems to be snoop Spanish Furret Same as English name German Wiesenior From Wiesel, Wiese (Wiesor), and Senior Italian Furret Same as English name Korean 다꼬리 Dakkori Derived from 대 (大) dae and 꼬리 kkori Mandarin Chinese 大尾立 Dàwĕilì Literally "Big tail stand" Cantonese Chinese 大尾立 Daaihméihlahp Literally "Big tail stand"
