    A small, nine to eleven foot long Pokégirl from head to tail, this Pokégirl was presumed to be the precursor to the more well-known Naga breed. Although originally thought to have been extinct after the Revenge War via predation by other Feral Pokégirls, around 87 AS this breed began to come back from extinction from some unknown source. It's assumed that they were in some sort of hibernation, and subsequent tests and studies have shown that when under intense sunlight or artificial light, with enough heat, that these Pokégirls do fall into a hibernative state that lasts even after the heat and light are gone. With this likely, by modern times this Pokégirl grew in numbers and is now uncommon throughout the world. One thing that baffles researchers is the fact that these Pokégirls, although plant-types, can survive easily even in arctic areas thanks to their cold tolerance. It's speculated, but unconfirmed, that this was something that Sukebe had planned- they would be a secondary invasion force, meant to invade and buy enough time for his forces to regroup, should they ever need it. As this never actually happened, Researchers are continuing to study the possibilities but there is no solid evidence at all on the matter.
    Only about three or four feet of the Pokégirl is above the waistline, which leads into a Naga-like tail. Unlike the Naga, the Ulupi can move around on this tail easily, and also unlike the Naga, this breed cannot change from tail to legs. The Ulupi do have human arms, but their fingers end in claws that are comparable to a Catgirl's in usefulness. Although this can be useful, it also makes it difficult for her to touch something soft without breaking it, since she cannot retract her claws at all. Clothes, tissue paper, and even squishy human skin, and this normally means that tamers must make sure their Ulupi have well filed and maintained claws (which should be done at least once a week). These Pokégirls usually have some shade of green skin- however, threshold cases (of which the girls are suitably horrified when their legs start to fuse together and their skin sheds, leaving them with a scaly, snake-like tail. The process takes about a week and can be excruciatingly painful) may keep the shade of skin color that they had as when she was a human. Finally, for some reason, the Ulupi have vestigial wings that extend from behind their shoulder blades, and along their back. These wings look much like the hood of the pre-Sukebe snake called a Cobra, and can encompass her torso and perhaps another person. However, these 'wings', as some researchers are reluctant to call them, weigh far too much and are far too small to allow the Pokégirl to glide, let alone fly in any manner of the word. Each wing is, at best, five feet wide and is covered with the same scales that her tail is.
    A timid Pokégirl even when feral, Tamers can expect an Ulupi to run away (or slither, rather) than to fight. In battle, they rely on Hypnotic Gaze, Regenerate, and Grass Floor to maximize their strengths, and prefer to attack from afar until their opponent is defeated or gives up. Against flying types, however, a smart tamer will recall the Ulupi, as her attacks just are very unlikely to reach any flying opponent at all without some sort of assistance. In sex battles, the Ulupi does fare better- they can keep their sex sealed up close to the center of where her legs would have been... if she had them. It can take a lot of effort to seduce the Ulupi if she doesn't want to be, and as such many Sex-tamers enjoy using these Pokégirls in such battles to wear out their opponent. Menage-a-Trois find them to be a minor challenge, but learn quickly enough the Ulupi's pleasure points that get them to open up. The tamers that do use this Pokégirl are those who do not like the idea of being poisoned by a Naga or the fact that the male tamers don't want to take a chance on a Naga that may be lesbian. The Ulupi are bisexual, but lean heavily towards men as a group (there have been only three documented lesbian Ulupi known).
    In a harem, these Pokégirls make for poor Alphas or Betas, and indeed are not truly fit for any position of authority. They often acquiesce to the stronger willed Pokégirls, although they do get along well with most any other Pokégirls that are not overbearing. Domina tend to find them easy prey, enslaving the Ulupi to her will after only a session or two- only threshold cases might have the will to keep their defiance for much longer than this. Damsels become fast friends to this breed, and in fact it is common to see a Damsel and an Ulupi paired up as pets with pet owners, although Ulupi have been found to be not so good choices for pets thanks to the size of their body. They do have a good mind for household-type chores and skills, despite their size, and among those pet owners who are on a budget, the Ulupi is a rather common and popular choice (they aren't as clumsy and potentially hazardous as a Bunnygirl, and they don't cost as much as a Kitten or Ingenue might).
