ENTEI
============

Entei is a large quadrupedal beast that bears resemblances to mastiffs and lions. It has thick brown fur, a long mane, and what appear to be metal rings around its ankles. On either flank is a pair of jagged "wings", while on its back is a white streaming pennant-like formation that resembles a cloud of smoke or ash. It has a facial structure between its nose and mouth that is said to resemble a moustache.

Entei is the canine/feline embodiment of fire, being able to launch powerfully searing, hotter-than-lava fire from its mouth. An Entei is bound with pyroclastic fury which even its own, hefty body has a hard time restraining, and as such it looses parts of its extreme power and energy by racing around the land in a sprint. When it barks, volcanos around it are apparently triggered to erupt.

The three "Legendary Beasts" are common in one sense, having a structure similar to, or compromised of a Cloud on their backside. Entei's seems to be a billowing form of smoke, judging from it's status as a lord of fire, which causes smoke when it burns.

Entei is a Pokémon steeped in legend due to its awesome power and traits. The most popular belief is that one is born every time a new volcano erupts.

A more prevalent legend, though, holds that Entei is one of a triad of legendary canine/feline Pokémon that were reincarnated by the Phoenix-like Ho-Oh when they perished in the fire at a tower in Ecruteak City (now known as Burned Tower).

Like its two alleged companions, Raikou and Suicune, Entei is said to embody an aspect of nature, in its case the passion of magma and the ferocity of volcanoes.

..that's about it...
