## Trivia

* Musharna shares its category with Komala. They are both known as the Drowsing Pokémon.

### Origin

Musharna appears to be based on traditional Japanese incense burners called *koro*. These are used in traditional tea ceremonies, but many styles of *koro* have been developed to be used with insect repellent incense. These insect repellent *koro* are popularly shaped like a pig. Musharna, like Drowzee, also seems to share some inspiration from the myth of the baku, tapir-like creatures that eat dreams. Its curled up appearance is similar to that of a fetus.

#### Name origin

Musharna may be a combination of ムシャムシャ *mushamusha* (onomatopoeia for eating, as it eats dreams), 夢 *mu* [*on'yomi*] (dream), and *luna* (Latin for *moon*).
