 ===Origin===
-Hatterene may be based on the common belief in folklore that a witch's power is connected to their hair. Its appearance may be based on a {{wp|Witch's ladder|witch's ladder}}, which features knotted, corded, and/or beaded hair used to form a magic charm. Hatterene's relatively small body, as well as the "windows" in its hair in its Gigantamax form, may be based on the common fairy tale motif of a girl locked away in a tower; in particular, it may reference {{wp|Rapunzel}}, whose hair was long enough to reach the ground from the top of her tower. Hatterene may also be based on ''Hachishaku-sama'' in Japanese folklore, an 8 foot tall woman who's known for kidnapping children. She's also described of wearing a hat.
+Due to its connection with Grimmsnarl, the name its exclusive G-max move that alludes to discipline and full female gender ratio, Hatterene may be inspired by the {{wp|Coco (folklore)|Cuca}}, the female counterpart of a shapeshifting {{wp|bugbear}}, depicted as a forest witch, both mentioned in lullabies and used in some cultures to frighten children that do not want to sleep or stay quiet.
+Given its title as the forest witch, it also seems to be based on the {{wp|hag}} from the {{wp|Hansel and Gretel}} fairytale by the {{wp|Brothers Grimm}}, that kidnap children with the intent to devour them. Its appearance may be inspired by {{wp|Harionago}}, a female ghoul from Japanese folklore described as a beautiful woman that uses its extremely long hair tipped with thorn-like barbs to attack. Hatterene's relatively small body, as well as the "windows" in its hair in its Gigantamax form, may be based on the common fairy tale motif of a girl locked away in a tower; in particular, it may reference {{wp|Rapunzel}}, whose hair was long enough to reach the ground from the top of her tower.
