Misdreavus' nocturnal habits of wailing to frighten people and its similarity in appearance to a disembodied head are shared by various mythological creatures. One of these is the {{wp|Nukekubi}}, which shares the similarities of nocturnal habits, flying about as a decapitated head, and wailing to increase its victims' fright. Another possible origin is the {{wp|banshee}}, a female spirit from Gaelic folklore who was known for its unearthly wailing and screaming. It is also possible that it was based on a {{wp|langsuir}}, a type of vampire in Malaysian mythology known to appear as a flying decapitated female head. | Misdreavus' nocturnal habits of wailing to frighten people and its similarity in appearance to a disembodied head are shared by various mythological creatures.
