i think raikou is supposed to be a saber tooth tiger.
entei i could see being either one. i agree it might be a lion but be also has dog characteristics. but im sure suicune is part of the dog family, probably a wolf

suicune is the only dog lookin one

*points to dog species & feline species*

all those who say the rest look like dogs need a biology book :P

raikou obviously sabertooth tiger, or siberian tiger (with saber teeth) its body, shape& movements are all the same, and even more so thanx to black&whites new continuous moving sprites (dogs dont move like that, only cats do)

entei is a lion, maybe a liger, it has the mane, the teeth,& the facial structure, not to mention the lion has always been associated with the color red, and the paws are shaped like a lions, plus the roar is a lions.

next is the fact they were called "dogs" that was america not japan, japan called them beasts, that sorts itself out, america is always screwing things up.

last point is the Suicune, shes (looks female to me) obviously a wolf, jackal, or other canine species similar to big cats in build, but with the canine snout, makin her slender& well built for speed ^_^

thats my debate on the subject :P

daga (however) the head is the defining quality between canine& feline
if you really study their biology, their no so different, just alternate paths of evolution.

either way their the same, i say they should be called Beasts, simply cuz Dogs& Cats are similar species, and were most likely born from the same genetic line.

cats were born more compact,& slimly for stealth, tactics, & speed.

while dogs were built in a more buff and intimidating design, making them more of a power species, one built entirely for the hunt.

They're neither cats nor dogs. They're beasts from mythology. Raikou's a raiju, Suicune's a kirin (sorry, messed that up the first time), and Entei is... I can't recall the name, but one of those lionish looking things that are on all those Chinese statues. All of them have elements of animals, but they're primarily the beasts. (of all the times I could use that GameFAQs topic that explained this really well... sigh...)

By the way, people who say Suicune's one thing while Raikou and Entei are another- how many other trios do we have where one member is something different than the other two? They're always all from the same background, which in this case is mythological creatures. (and for heaven's sake, nobody had better say the Hoenn trio in regards to this because they're based off creatures from Hebrew mythology.)

EDIT: OK, couldn't find the topic but I found the relevant image that sums it up. Check it: http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3492/beastsp.png ...and there you have it.

I've always called them the Legendary Dogs, due to them being referred to as dogs in an official Nintendo guide I had for Gold and Silver back in the day.

Imo they look more like dogs than cats also.
Agreed.
I never had the guide, but I always heard they were called 'dogs' in it.
And they really do look like dogs.
I shall forever call them dogs.

Good, but I fancy Suicune as a wolf-based creature.

But really, the bottom line is they're Pokemom — pocket monsters, just generic Japanese RPG monsters. I've preferred the term 'legendary beasts' since seeing it.
