#speculative biology plus weird magic stuff plus worldbuilding is honestly why i love pokemon so much

Pokemon request: Well you know how I feel about the Don, but I've asked for that before so... Zoroark? Either regular or Hisuian.

One of the handful of pokémon species that are fully sapient. For the most part, zoroark colonies isolate themselves from humans. Certain individuals may choose to live among humans, partner with a human, or become a trainer themselves, though this is rare.

Contrary to popular belief, they are not mute, but their mouths simply cannot form human words. Under the guise of magical illusion the species is known for, however, they can be capable speakers.
