===Origin===
Nuzleaf appears to be based on a sprouting {{wp|acorn}} as well as a ''{{wp|tengu}}'' - Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} that use their supernatural powers to protect forests, enjoy playing cruel tricks on people, and have long noses. Its habit of playing a grass flute is reminiscent of {{wp|Pan (god)|Pan}}, the Greek god of nature known for playing reed pipes. Its wooden, humanoid body and long nose are also reminiscent of {{wp|Pinocchio}}.
