Calling them beasts don't make us offtopic....
The thread maker(Darverses) is just asking us about our opinions. He hasn't restricted us to only Dogs and Cats(I agree that it actually makes one think that he has restricted us to dogs/cats after reading the title. But you'll understand everything after you read the first post a little more carefully). So, its entirely our opinion if we don't call them as cats or dogs and call them as tiger/lion instead. xP
I still think that the term 'Beasts' is the most appropriate to them. D=

Are you going to post that image on every Pokemon General thread?! >_>
Also, I fail to see how Suicune is based on a Cheetah. :S
Oh, look. It's this guy again. .
Entei may possibly be based on the mythical chinese guardian lion-dogs, or Aterui.
Raikou is based on the 雷獣 raijuu, a thunder demon of Japanese lore. A raijuu may take the shape of a wolf.
Suicune resembles a manned wolf in its body type as well as some of it's habits.
Quoted, finished, pwn't, end of story.
I call them Beasts, not because I don't want a debate, but because I like the way that sounds. They don't really look like a cat/dog to me anyway. Those were just the facts.
Also, that's a leopard, not a cheetah. They don't really look the same.
Firstly, Legendary Beasts is their official name. Calling them anything else is wrong. Whether they're feline or canine, that's a separate matter.
^This. Actually, Entei makes me think of the dog in "Sandlot" (which looks a lot like this, but....meaner. This one's cute!) . Anyone seen that movie?This might be a little stretched, but dare to compare!
I agree with that. Although the Legendary Dogs sounds better.Lets just say a fusion of both but here is my interpretaion.
Entei - Lion
Raikou - Tiger
Suicune - Panther or Wolf
