Not sure who edited the Origin section in the article, but it needs a real overhaul. Munna is misspelled twice, and it just needs major editorial revision.

Munna appears to be based on traditional Japanese insense burners called ''[[wp:Koro (incense burner)|koro]]''. These are used in traditional tea ceremonies, but many styles of ''koro'' have been developed to be used with insect repellent incense. These insect repellent ''koro'' are popularly shaped like a pig and can have patterns painted on them, such as floral patterns. Munna, like {{p|Drowzee}}, also seems to share some inspiration from the myth of the [[wp:Baku (spirit)|Baku]], tapir-like creatures that eat dreams.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantomjunkie]] 06:09, 12 July 2010 (UTC) | Munna appears to be based on traditional Japanese insense burners called ''[[wp:Koro (incense burner)|koro]]''.
