Tangela (Japanese: モンジャラ Monjara) is a Grass-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen
The whole body is swathed with wide vines that are similar to seaweed. The vines sway as it walks.
Pokémon Yellow
Its identity is obscured by masses of thick, blue vines. The vines are said to never stop growing.
Pokémon Gold
The vines that cloak its entire body are always jiggling. They effectively unnerve its foes.
Pokémon Silver
It tangles any moving thing with its vines. Their subtle shaking is ticklish if you get ensnared.
Pokémon Crystal
During battle, it constantly moves the vines that cover its body in order to annoy its opponent.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
Tangela's vines snap off easily if they are grabbed. This happens without pain, allowing it to make a quick getaway. The lost vines are replaced by newly grown vines the very next day.
Pokémon Emerald
Its vines snap off easily and painlessly if they are grabbed, allowing it to make a quick getaway. The lost vines are replaced by new growth the very next day.
Pokémon FireRed
Blue plant vines cloak the Pokémon's identity in a tangled mass. It entangles anything that gets close.

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.

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 looks like a Fry Kid from Ronald McDonald fame.

Tangela's original name was "Meduza," a misspelling of "Medusa" (a mythological character).
