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. | Due to its connection with Grimmsnarl, the name of 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. | 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.
