Faketan, also called Fakootan, are fan-designed fictional animal costumes based on the Pootan franchise of comedy specials. While many such designs have been created purely as fan art, others are made specifically as hoaxes to fool fans into believing they will appear in future seasons of the show, or as unique costumes added to fan re-edits.
The word Faketan is a portmanteau of the words fake and Pootan. In Japanese, they are known as Oripoo (オリプー, from "original Pootan").
According to Connor, Faketan have existed "for almost as long as two weeks ago when Crystal did that one episode."
