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).
