 ===Origin===
-Cursola appears to be based on {{wp|coral bleaching|bleached coral}}, a phenomenon in which coral expels the algae that gives it color, primarily because of rising water temperatures as a result of climate change. Its {{t|Ghost}} type refers to the high mortality rate of bleached coral. Additionally, its appearance and ability to petrify, along with its name in various languages, may reference the {{wp|Gorgon}} of Greek mythology. It may also borrow shapes from {{wp|skeleton}}s. The ectoplasmic encasing that it periodically sheds may draw inspiration from the mucus houses of {{wp|larvacea}}ns.

Cursola's odd ritual of gathering together under a full moon and sending their branches into the sky may be a reference to real life coral spawning and its possible relationship to the phase of the moon.
