Biological characteristics

Vaporeon is a quadrupedal mammal that shares characteristics of cats, dogs and aquatic creatures. It is roughly the same size as the gray wolf. Vaporeon has smooth turquoise skin, fin-like ears on the sides and a fin on top of its head, a weblike collar around its neck, a long, mermaid-like tail backed with ridges, and fins on its head and the end of its tail. Vaporeon also has gills that allow it to breathe below water, in addition to its above-water lungs. Of all the different Eevee evolutions by elemental stones, Vaporeon is known to change the most. Vaporeon's cells are similar in structure to water molecules, and this allows it to have a unique control over the water around it. It is also able to actually transform itself into liquid as a form of camouflage. This ability also gives the Pokémon extremely high defensive capabilities as physical attacks have almost no effect on its flexible liquid form. When its fins begin to vibrate, it is a sign that rain will come within a few hours. Vaporeon's preferred habitat is the peaceful coast of a lake, where it is sometimes mistaken for a mermaid.
