'''Tangela''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンジャラ''' ''Monjara'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Tangela178PokémonCard151.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tangela swinging on a tree branch]]
Tangela is covered with thick blue vines that obscure its face so only its eyes can be seen. It also has a pair of red boot-like feet.
Tangela is a {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered by blue, seaweed-like vines that obscure its face. There is a small opening in the vines that reveals its eyes surrounded by a black space. The vines give Tangela a round shape, but it is unknown what it looks like without them. Its vines are covered in fine hair and are always growing. If damaged or lost, replacements are grown. There is a pair of red boot-like feet poking out from under the vines, but no visible arms.
====Gender differences====
None.


===Special abilities===
Tangela can ensnare and entangle anything that moves too close to it with its vines. The vines constantly jiggle and sway, unnerving enemies and causing a tickling sensation if ensnared. Tangela's vines will snap off easily and painlessly if the target pulls on them, so it can quickly escape. The vines of Tangela are said to have a refreshing flavor and scent. In [[Galar]], its vines are used as herbs. Tangela can usually be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate grasslands}}, and has been known to [[:File:Tangela178PokémonCard151.jpg|swing on tree branches]] using its vines.
Tangela's vines never stop growing and are easily replaced if lost or damaged. Tangela can ensnare and entangle its foes with its vines.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
===Habitat===
Tangela evolves into {{p|Tangrowth}}.
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Tangela can usually be found on the edge of many grassy plains, be it near a mountain range or the ocean. However, they can also be found in large forests or the jungle on some occasions. They are most common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==<!--DO NOT ADD TRIVIA STATING THAT TANGELA WAS THE ONLY PURE GRASS TYPE INTRODUCED IN GENERATION I; THIS HAS BEEN REMOVED COUNTLESS TIMES BEFORE BECAUSE IT IS NOT NOTABLE-->
* Tangela's original name was "Meduza," a misspelling of "{{wp|Medusa (mythology)|Medusa}}" (a Greek mythological character).
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tangela was originally known as "Meduza," a name derived from the Greek mythological character {{wp|Medusa}}.
* Tangela is the first pure {{type2|Grass}} in the National Pokédex.
** Tangela is also the only pure Grass-type in [[Generation I]]. Others were either part {{t|Psychic}}-,{{t|Bug}}- or part {{type2|Poison}}.
* Up until [[Generation IV]], Tangela was the only Generation I Grass-type to not evolve into or from something.
* Although it is said to live in plains, its [[friend area]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is the Jungle. Also, its [[List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|Pal Park area]] is the Forest.
*Tangela and {{p|Tropius}} are the only two Pokémon that are not {{pkmn2|starter}}s or [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] of a previous generation unavailable in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. They must be transferred forward from a Generation III game or traded from {{game|Platinum}}.
*Despite being made of vines, in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, it couldn't learn {{m|Vine Whip}}. This was later allowed in {{game|Yellow}}.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Tangela is probably 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 Tumbleweed or Bird-Cage plants.
Due to the mystery around Tangela's appearance under its {{wp|vine}}s, it may be based on the {{wp|swamp monster}} from the short story "{{wp|It! (short story)|It!}}" by {{wp|Theodore Sturgeon}}. In addition, it may also be inspired by the Sargassum seaweed monsters written by the English writer {{wp|William Hope Hodgson}}, which inspired monsters in Japanese pop culture.
 
It may also be based on ''{{wp|Selaginella lepidophylla}}'', a plant that forms {{wp|tumbleweed}}s; and {{wp|Medusa}}, a {{wp|gorgon}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}. In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines.
 
Its [[Pokédex]] entries state that its vines will be entangled with its surroundings. This may be a reference to {{wp|thigmotropism}}, a biological reaction plants have towards contact that encourages them to coil around objects they touch as they grow, allowing stability in their stems and branches.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Tangela's name is probably a combination of the word ''tangle'' and Medusa because of its vines resembling a snake hairstyle like Medusa's. Its Japanese name may be based on もじゃもじゃ ''mojyamojya'', which means shaggy, or unkempt.
Tangela may be a combination of ''tangle'' and ''-ella'' (suffix used to form taxonomic names).
 
Monjara may be a combination of ''monster'', もじゃもじゃ ''mojamoja'' (shaggy or unkempt), and 毛むくじゃら ''kemukujara'' (densely covered in thick hair).
