Tangela (Japanese: モンジャラ Monjara) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Tangrowth when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power.
Biology
Tangela is covered with thick blue vines that obscure its face so only its eyes can be seen. These vines are covered in fine hair, and they give it a round shape. It is unknown what it looks like without them. The vines are always growing, and can be replaced if lost or damaged. It has a pair of red boot-like feet, but no visible arms.
Tangela can ensnare and entangle anything that moves too close to it with its vines. The vines constantly jiggle and sway, unnerving enemies and deterring herbivores that might mistake Tangela for a shrub. Tangela's vines will snap off easily and painlessly if the target pulls on them, suggesting that the ensnaring is intended to scare off potential predators. Tangela can usually be found in grassy plains.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Tangela was originally known as "Meduza," a name derived from the Greek mythological character Medusa.
Origin
Tangela is likely 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. Its Crystal sprite shows it curling into a ball, meaning it may also have design elements from tumbleweed or bird-cage plants. It may also be based on a Green Man, a motif that is represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines.
Name origin
Tangela may be a combination of tangle and Medusa (referring to its vines resembling a snake hairstyle like Medusa's).
Monjara may be based on もじゃもじゃ mojamoja (shaggy or unkempt). It may also include monster.
