What Catgirls are to cat types, Doggirls are to dog types.

Doggirls are not that much of an improvement over Puppies. Like Catgirls, it’s very strongly suspected that Doggirls may have been among the very first evolutions ever designed into a Pokégirl. As such, it’s not that really spectacular a change, though very few people would complain, given that Doggirls (called Inumimi in Edo and Opal areas) definitely are slightly more physically attractive than their pre-evolution form.

Doggirls gain roughly half an inch to an inch in height, as well as a quarter of a cup-size in their breasts. Their leg and arm muscles grow stronger, as does their sense of smell and hearing, and their tail size usually increases as well, unless they were a tailless breed of Puppy beforehand. Most Doggirls seem a bit more grown up in terms of maturity, but it’s an irritatingly difficult quality to define and doesn’t really change their overall persona. Some actually become more emotionally mature, and display a bit more calmness and self-control than when they were Puppies.

Because their arm and leg muscles are stronger, Doggirls are usually a third faster than when they were Puppies, although this can go as high as two times as fast. Their endurance is often quite a bit better and it’s believed that their longer tail may help them maintain their balance better, although like many things about them, it’s inconclusive. One of the only conclusive things about Doggirls and canine-types in general is the strong sense of loyalty they have. This helped canine-type breeds retain a lot of favor after Mao Shin Mao’s attacks.

The average Doggirl will find that they can learn punch-based attacks much easier than most others. As such, a Doggirl can sometimes be a good training partner for an Amazon, and are often good friends with them.  This, in turn, can make them feel slightly disdainful against those who know kapoeera, but it’s never that pronounced, as the friendly, amiable nature common to most Doggirls makes it hard for them to hold a grudge. The closest they come to this is the friendly rivalry Doggirls seem to have with Catgirls, but as good-natured as Doggirls are, they may forget about this rivalry in a moment of excitement.

Aside from their endurance and punching techniques, about the most impressive thing about Doggirls are their ability to use Dig naturally, their digging speed outmatched only by Digtits and a tiny handful of others. They can use this ability in battle, although they don’t use it as the Digtit line does, mainly using it to dig up dirt and fling it at the opponent in a blinding attack. Stronger Doggirls can use Dig to dig up larger, heavier clumps of dirt for a more powerful projectile attack. They can even use this ability offensively, digging up large rocks for Rock Throw. They tend to prefer front line fighting and direct hand-to-hand. In sex battles they’re about average, although there have been some recorded instances of Doggirls proving their mettle in a sex match. And as with all canine-type Pokégirls, they retain the ability to use Puppy Dog Eyes.

Feral Doggirls, like most canine-types, tend to run in packs in the wild. They frequently scavenge for food around cities, and will act to defend each other should they be attacked. They aren’t as easily scattered as Puppies are, and are more vicious in a fight than their previous form. Ferals and Domestics tend to be protective of Pokékits and infant humans.

Doggirls often get very randy around the Full Moon for some reason. Researchers are still trying to find out the answer to this question, although until now, nothing conclusive has been found out. Doggirls are among the most common Thresholds out there, happening just as frequently as Kittens, Puppies, and Catgirls, and almost as frequently as Ingenue, Bunnygirls, Titmice, and Bimbos. It’s a somewhat painful Threshold result due to the physical changes, especially if the subject in question turns into a tailed breed of Doggirl, but not unbearably so. The changes are usually quick, depending on how much fur they grow.
