Snover appears to have been based on the {{wp|daikon radish}}, also known as the ''winter radish'', which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter. It's also possible that Snover was made to resemble a snow-covered {{wp|fir|fir tree}}. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山) which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks. | Snover appears to have been based on the {{wp|daikon radish}}, also known as the ''winter radish'', which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter.
