Trivia

Origin

It is likely that Misdreavus was based on a banshee, a female spirit from Gaelic folklore who was known for its unearthly wailing and screaming.

Name origin

Misdreavus's name is a misspelling of mischievous. It is also possible that reave, or rob, was incorporated into the name, while another possibility is the addition of dread was incorporated into the name. Its Japanese name, Muma, is probably a corruption of of 夢魔 muma, nightmare, or a demon in a dream.
