>Hypno and Drowzee are based on the yokai known as a Baku. It is a tapir that eats peoples dreams.>Munna and Musharna came from Black and White. They are also tapir and are also based on the same dream-eating Baku of the same yokai myth.>The Baku is an animal guardian-spirit that specifically eats your nightmares and frees you of bad dreams. Yet if you call upon the Baku too much and you lacked such bad dreams, it will feast on your other dreams, your hopes and aspirations, leaving you to live a meaningless life.>Drowzee's pokedex entries feature it being a dream eater and literally being a descendant of the legendary animal Baku. Also stated its believed to share common ancestry with Munna and Musharna. Drowzee prefers to eat good dreams over bad ones.>Hypno like Musharna, are not exactly picky about the dreams they eat.>Munna and Musharna have pokedex entries about eating peoples dreams, for Munna specifically a person's nightmares.>Drowzee and Hypno represent the more monstrous side of the Baku. Meanwhile Munna and Musharna represent a more benevolent side of the Baku."Wait its always had yokais?"
