Cacturne is based on a {{wp|cactus}}, possibly the {{wp|saguaro}}, and a {{wp|scarecrow}}. It could be associated with nighttime because cacti are known as night ({{wp|Crassulacean acid metabolism|CAM}}) plants, as their {{wp|carbon dioxide}} fixation process occurs during the night. Its face is similar to a classic {{wp|Halloween}} {{wp|jack-o'-lantern}}, referencing the tendency for scarecrows to have pumpkins for heads. | Cacturne is based on a {{wp|cactus}}, possibly the {{wp|saguaro}}, and a {{wp|scarecrow}}.
