Evolution
Trivia
- Tangela's original name was "Meduza," a misspelling of "Medusa" (a mythological character).
- Although it is said to live in plains, its friend area in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is the Jungle.
Origin
Tangela is probably based on Medusa, a gorgon of Greek mythology, who had a head of snakes and turned any creature that saw her into stone. The tentacles on Tangela, however, are vines. Also, Tangela bears a resemblance to Fry Kid from Ronald McDonald fame.
Name origin
Tangela's name is probably based on the word tangle. Its Japanese name may be based on もじゃもじゃ mojyamojya, which means shaggy, or unkempt.
In other languages
- German: Tangela
- French: Saquedeneu - From Sac de noeuds, meaning "Knot Bag".
- Korean: 덩구리 Deongguri
