===Origin===
Mimikyu's disguise is based on {{p|Pikachu}}. The execution of the disguise is similar to ghost costumes made from bedsheets. Mimikyu also shares similarities with the {{wp|Bugul Noz}}, a {{wp|Breton mythology|Breton myth}} about a kind and gentle fairy spirit whose horrifying ugliness causes it to be perpetually alone. The fact that Mimikyu's true appearance can kill is a reference to {{wp|Lovecraftian horror|Lovecraftian}} or eldritch monsters; if any person were to see their true forms, they would either be driven insane or die.
