Its name is a portmanteau of "fur" and "ferret". Furret may also be taken from the Interlingua name for a ferret, "furretto". It's Japanese name is a combination of 大 (, ō?), large, 尾 (, o?), tail, and 立ち (, tachi?), stand. While its preevolution was described as "standing on its tail", Ootachi, however, is much "larger".
Furret is a long, slender ferret-like animal similar to Linoone but with very short paw-like limbs and a body that appears to consist mainly of one giant tail. In fact, it is impossible to discern where its head and body ends and where its tail begins.
Furret live in colonies much like prairie dogs, with tunnels much too small for normal Pokémon to traverse, yet it is a perfect fit for the slim build of Furret as it hides from the outside world at the surface by traversing through these tunnels like gophers. These tunnel colonies become very complex, especially if they are very deep, and can potentially stretch for miles. Occasionally, these colonies are found intertwined with Diglett colonies.
Furret’s rudimentary paws and legs are deceptively nimble, making Furret a quick, unpredictable predator especially skillful at hunting Rattata, its main prey. Also, the fur of the Pokémon is thicker than it appears, and Furret can fluff up its fur to make itself look much stronger and larger than it actually is as an intimidation tactic towards potential foes.
Furret is normally beige with brown stripes. However, its shiny form is pink.
Except in Furretta's case, in which she is Orange.
