 ===Origin===
-Tangela is likely based on {{wp|Medusa (mythology)|Medusa}}, a {{wp|gorgon}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}, who had a head of snakes and turned any creature that saw her into stone. The tentacles on Tangela, however, are {{wp|vine}}s. Its Crystal sprite shows it curling into a ball, meaning it may also have design elements from {{wp|tumbleweed}} or bird-cage plants. It may also be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif that is represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines.
