 ===Origin===
-Mismagius seems to be based on the concept of {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|mages}} and {{wp|witch}}es. It also shares similarities with {{wp|banshee}}s. Mismagius's coloration might be a reference to the ''Nasu-babā'', a witch-like ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' with a distinct purple skin. Its shape also resembles the {{wp|Teru teru bōzu}}. Its Pokédex descriptions of its cries sounding like incantations and tormenting people are reminiscent of {{wp|Curse|curses}}. Another possible source of origin is the {{wp|banshee}}, a female spirit from {{wp|Irish mythology}}, known in modern media for its unearthly wailing and screaming.

 Its names in different languages referencing dreams also points to {{wp|Mare (folklore)|Mares}} as a possible inspiration.
