It is known to pretend to beg for forgiveness, getting down to its knees while luring in opponents, before stabbing them with its hair. This tactic is its [[signature move]], {{m|False Surrender}}, which only it and its evolution {{p|Grimmsnarl}} can use.

No Pokémon have the same type combination as Morgrem and its evolutionary relatives.
Morgrem and its evolutionary relatives are also the only Fairy-type Pokémon to have a double resistance to Dark-type moves.
Morgrem shares its category with Purrloin. They are both known as the Devious Pokémon.
Morgrem, Hattrem, and their evolutionary families can be considered counterparts. Both are Generation VIII Pokémon evolving once at level 32 then at level 42. Morgrem and its evolutionary relatives are male only, while Hattrem and its evolutionary relatives are female only. Their final evolved forms are both Fairy-type Pokémon with identical base experience and catch rates, and each Pokémon in each evolution line have the same base stat total as their counterpart (e.g. Morgrem and Hattrem both have a base stat total of 370). Morgrem and Hattrem are also based on mythical beings from European folklore and mythology: Morgrem resembles a goblin, and Hattrem resembles a witch. Furthermore, both Pokémon use their hair as a weapon, and their Speed drops upon evolution.
Morgrem and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon that are in the Fairy and Human-LikeEgg Groups.
Origin
Morgrem may be inspired by the Cluricaune of Monaghan, a type of devious leprechaun from Irish folklore that bows down to lure its opponent and stab their eyes with its pointed hat. Its upper body also shares similarities with the redcap, a murderous goblin from English legend that carries a pikestaff, which Morgrem's hair seems to be shaped like. As its name implies, it may also be based on gremlins. Its lower body, together with its signature moveFalse Surrender, could also be a reference to the Green Knight in Arthurian legends.
Name origin
Morgrem may be a combination of morbid or morgue and gremlin. It may also come from grem, an old English and old German word for "to anger or to enrage". There may also be a reference to Mordred, the illegitimate son of King Arthur, the work of Morgan Le Fey. This is further proved by Hatterene playing the part of Morgan Le Fey.
Gimoh may be a combination of 欺罔 gimō (deception), 毛 mō (hair, fur), and demon.
