Physiology and Behavior[]
Furfrou is a quadrupedal, canine Pokémon with thick, white fur that covers its black body apart from its paws and face. The fur is thicker and fluffier around its head and tail. It has round, red eyes with blue eyelids, a pointed snout with a round, light blue nose, and long rectangular ears. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw. Furfrou used to guard the king in the ancient times of Kalos and is known to be loyal to its Trainer.
Forms[]
Furfrou has ten different forms named after the style its fur is trimmed and dyed in: Natural Form, Heart Trim, Star Trim, Diamond Trim, Debutante Trim, Matron Trim, Dandy Trim, La Reine Trim, Kabuki Trim, and Pharaoh Trim.
It is commonly seen with its fur trimmed and dyed into various styles. However, only those it trusts are allowed to cut its fur. In the past, aristocrats would even compete over who could trim its fur into the most exquisite style. Cutting its fur increases the swiftness of its movements.

Origin and inspiration[]

Its name is a combination of fur and frou-frou (which means fancy or overly eleaborate).
