 ===Origin===
-Darmanitan's physical appearance is based on an {{wp|ape}} and the {{wp|Daruma doll}}. It is also likely based on the the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}}—"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"—as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to its bold posture in Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may also be a direct reference to {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment.
