## Lore

### Biology

Furret is a long, slim mustelid with cream fur, dark brown rings along its body and a dark brown back of the head and neck. It has four stubby limbs, brown forepaws and cream hind paws. It is 1.8 m tall and weighs 32.5 kg. It can stand on its hind legs but prefers to run on all fours.

### Behaviour

Furret is nimble and quick for a creature with such short legs; the Pokédex says it squirms through narrow spaces to escape, and Bulbapedia says it can even slip free from a human's arms. A mother curls around her young to help them sleep, and once they are older she takes them outside to prepare them to live alone.

### Habitat

Bulbapedia says Furret burrows in meadows and temperate grasslands, in narrow tunnels that get more maze-like deeper in and are very hard for other Pokémon to enter. In Scarlet and Violet it lives in Kitakami and in 3★ and 4★ Tera Raid Battles.

### Diet

The Pokédex says it hunts Rattata.

### Powers

Furret uses Slam, Sucker Punch, Fury Swipes, Coil and Double-Edge, speeds up with Agility, and shouts with Hyper Voice. Its Abilities are Run Away and Keen Eye, with Frisk hidden. With 85 base HP and 90 base Speed it is a durable, quick Normal type.

### Name origin

Furret may combine fur and ferret. The Japanese name is Ootachi (オオタチ), perhaps from ō (big), o (tail), tachi (standing) and itachi (weasel).

### Design inspiration

Bulbapedia says Furret's name and appearance suggest a ferret, with a touch of other mustelids (the weasel family), including polecats, and of a ringtail or cacomistle. This is a fan reading.

### Evolution notes

Evolves from Sentret at level 15.

### In the games

Furret appears on Kanto's Route 1 in Gold and Silver, and on Route 43 as well in Crystal. Bulbapedia lists it as unobtainable in Legends: Z-A.

### In the anime

In the film 'Celebi: The Voice of the Forest', a Furret guides Ash and his friends to the Lake of Life, where they can heal an injured Celebi. In 'A Claim to Flame!', Salvador's Furret kept using Dig against Ash's Pikachu until Pikachu clung to its back and used Thunderbolt.

### Fun facts

- Bulbapedia says Furret's walk cycle, new in Sun and Moon, turned into a viral internet video known as the Furret walk.
- A Furret chases a Rattata around the Pokémon Resort in the first episodes of Pokémon Concierge, 'I'm Haru, the New Concierge!' and 'What's on Your Mind, Psyduck?'.
- Bulbapedia says that in the Lental region of New Pokémon Snap, Mightyena preys on Furret.
