 ===Origin===
-Snubbull seems to be based on an {{wp|bulldog type|bulldog type dog}} due to its squat body, flat nose, droopy muzzle, and underbite. Its unusual pink fur and dress-like body may be inspired by pampered pet dogs whose owners dye their fur and dress them up in clothes. Its intimidating appearance is reminiscent of various grotesque mythical creatures such as {{wp|goblin}}s and {{wp|orc}}s, while its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Egg Group]] and {{t|Fairy|type}} may reference the {{wp|Cù-sìth}}, a creature in {{wp|Celtic mythology}} whose name means ''dog fairy''.

-Although this Pokémon appears to be based on a bulldog type dog, it is not present in the regional Pokédexes of [[Unova]], [[Galar]], or [[Paldea]], which are based on countries where bulldog breeds emerged. The only known exception is [[Kalos]] (based in {{wp|France}}, where the {{wp|French bulldog}} originated).
+Its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Egg Group]], and {{t|Fairy|type}} may reference the {{wp|Cù-sìth}}, a creature in {{wp|Celtic mythology}} whose name means ''dog fairy''. Alternatively, while its intimidating appearance could be reminiscent of various grotesque mythical creatures such as {{wp|goblin}}s and {{wp|orc}}s, it might be inspired specifically by {{wp|kobold}}s, sprites that are commonly represented as dog-like in Japanese media.
