 ===Origin===
-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. Hatterene's face and actual body also appear to bear a strong resemblance to a {{wp|Grey alien|Roswell grey alien}}, an archetypal depiction of extraterrestrial life in popular culture.

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.
-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.
