Origin
Munna 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 and can have patterns painted on them, such as floral patterns. Munna, like Drowzee, also seems to share some inspiration from the myth of the Baku, tapir-like creatures that eat dreams.
Name origin
Munna may be a combination of moon, ムシャムシャ mushamusha (onomatopoeia for eating, as it eats dreams), or 夢想 musō (dream), and luna (Latin for moon), or 花 hana (flower).
