Hypno is based on a {{wp|tapir}}, hypnotist, and {{wp|baku (spirit)|baku}}, or dream eater spirit, of Japanese mythology. It also looks similar to a {{wp|proboscis monkey}}. Hypno's long, hooked nose and white frill could also be based on a vulture, such as {{wp|Rüppell's Vulture}}. | Hypno is based on a {{wp|tapir}}, hypnotist, and {{wp|baku (spirit)|baku}}, or dream eater spirit, of Japanese mythology.
