Origin of Suicune

[silverlucario]

Ok, I was doing a bit of browsing on photobucket, and I came across a "polar okami." I looked at it closer and thought "WHOA... It's a Suicune!" So I did a search for polar okami and it came up with a few images, all of beasts greatly resembling Suicune. Intrigued, I did a search on wikipedia - no results.

Is this an actual historical beast that Suicune was based on, or was it based on Suicune??? Since I couldn't find any solid info on it, I think it may just be a fan-created creature based on Suicune but I'd like to be sure... Here are the pics.

it's someone's character that's a ripoff of suicune >______>

(look at the file names, they're set up like they were saved from deviant art...and I just checked and.. yeah. It's someone's character.)

Dude, that's just Okami/Suicune crossover fanart.

If you see something that combines western and Japanese names, chances are it's fake. Like when you see websites selling Angel Katana and stuff.

Actually, this is fanart of a Okami/Pokemon fan that is a fellow deviant of mine.

Yeah, it does look like a crossover... or it may just be a drawing, with inspiration from Suicine. You never know where designers get their ideas...

Yeah, it's a crossover between Okami and Pokemon. They've also drawn Entei and Raikou.
