Furfrou (Torimian)

Furfrou is based on a poodle. Its untrimmed form seems to draw some inspiration from Afghan Hounds.

Furfrou is a combination of fur and frou-frou (fancy, overly elaborate).

Trimmien may be a combination of trimming and chien (French for dog). It could also be a play on the phrase très bien (French for excellent).

Furfrou is a dog-like Pokémon with thick, white fur that covers its black body apart from its paws and face. It has round eyes with blue eyelids and red irises, a pointed snout with a round nose at the end, and long rectangular ears. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw. This Pokémon’s furry coat cushions it against physical attacks. Furfrou is known to be loyal to its Trainer. It used to guard the king in the ancient times of Kalos. Like some real-world poodles, some domesticated Furfrou are commonly seen with their fur trimmed into various styles.
