... It's. It's a perfect name, Spengs. Can't think of anything more fitting.

[Venkman shudders a little, and reaches out to pet his new fox. Sigourney waddles over to the Vulpix and slowly reaches her little hand out to copy the gesture, stroking the fluffy coat. Everyone in the surrounding area gets a vivid sensation of petting soft fur projected into their minds.]

[Carefully, Lucifer turns back to look at Spengler before mobilizing and crawling up onto his face. Egon blinks as Lucifer manages to make his way to the top of his head and root himself in his hair. Egon slowly stands up, frowning down at his hands.]

Sigourney-- [He stops himself from chiding the Pokémon not strictly under his own care and glances over to Venkman.] It's intriguing what abilities these Psychic creatures have. This seems to resemble a kitsune of some sort--are you sure it isn't a Ghost?

[He goes to poke at one of the curls on the Vulpix's tails as Lucifer continues to stare at Venkman. Don't worry about it.]

[neverstudied]

Making a nice fashion statement there, Spengs.

[Sigourney keeps petting the Vulpix, who stretches and yawns again. The tip of her tail twitches as Egon pokes her.]

I think she's an Ice type, actually. She's a variant form of the Vulpix species- I know Ray was thinking about getting one of the standard ones, so I got the other kind for myself. [His voices trails off a little when he mentions Ray, and he scratches the Vulpix behind the ears.

Venkman is trying very hard to ignore the little mushroom demon staring at him.]

[pkemeter]

Hmmm.

[Egon seems to quickly shift his focus from the Vulpix after the mention of Ray--fuzzy animals were never really of scientific interest to him. Except for Tarantula, of course. But at least she's named after an arachnid.

He moves to carefully remove Lucifer from his head, and the mushroom creature reluctantly detaches himself from Egon's hair. He clambers around his fingers like a small insect exploring its surroundings as Egon watches.]

You know, Peter, you should get more acquainted with the non-mammalian creatures of this dimension. Studying diversity in biology can lead to a greater understanding of organisms as a whole.

[Lucifer has not blinked once since he started staring at Venkman.]

[neverstudied]

I, uh, think you and Ray've got the creepy-crawlies covered. You especially. [He narrows his eyes distrustfully at Lucifer.] Besides, only mammals I've got are two cats, a deer, and this fox. Maybe the Mimikyu- I dunno what you'd really classify that thing as... Or Sigourney. Is she a mammal?

Anyway, maybe you oughta branch out to mammals, more. Get out of your comfort zone.
