>>43421157>>43421157>NorowaraSo we know this name was originally made for the cursed doll Pokemon, as a combination of "noroi" (curse) and "waraningyou" (straw doll).
What's interesting is that they were thinking of recycling it for Misdreavous. It's possible that the concept of Misdreavous as a prankster ghost comes from reading the latter part of the name as "warau" (laughter, mockery).
