===Origin===
Charjabug appears to be based on a cocooned bug and a battery. It may also be based on the {{wp|Monema flavescens|denkimushi}}, a caterpillar in Japan that, when touched, can give a sting that is said to feel like an electric shock. It also bears a resemblance to subway cars, which are typically powered by electricity and reflect its habit of living underground.
